Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B-. The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Jonah Savaiinaea, 27 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Landing Johnson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Jonah Savaiinaea
In pick 16 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Value with a capital V on Jihaad Campbell in No. 47, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick78
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Nothing to complain about; Omarr Norman-Lott went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tez Johnson in the 115th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at slot 152 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
