FutureF
The Cardinals drew a line under the quarterback search with Moore: F. The Cardinals lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. A weekend to file away and forget, and an F to match.
They have staked the next five years on Dante Moore, which is the only story that really matters here. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with edge rusher still staring back at them.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Dante Moore
In slot 5 they get the face of the franchise. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick15
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In the 15th overall pick they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40
Rnd2
Denzel Boston
Taking Denzel Boston in pick 40 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
Nothing to complain about; Jake Slaughter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71
Rnd3
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in pick No. 71 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
