FutureB-
The Cardinals found their guy under center in Moore: D. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Cardinals shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.
Whatever Dante Moore becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Harbor.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Dante Moore
In slot 4 they get their guy under center for the next decade. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick11
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick73
Rnd3
Nyck Harbor
They let Nyck Harbor come to them and pounced at pick 73. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at Round 4, Pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick150
Rnd5
Terrance Carter Jr.
Terrance Carter Jr. in No. 150 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick187
Rnd6
Earnest Greene III
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 187 with a little surplus value in Earnest Greene III. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225
Rnd7
Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid at the 225th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
