A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Cardinals get a C+. The Ty Robinson selection is the head-turner. The Cardinals reached 50 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McLeod.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
In the 16th pick they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47
Rnd2
Trey Amos
Trey Amos in the 47th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick85
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in No. 85 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Ty Robinson in slot 115 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones in pick 122 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152
Rnd5
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod slid further than he should have, and pick 225 is lovely value for the edge rusher. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
