Larceny in Round 3, Pick 1 lands the Cardinals a B, McNeil-Warren and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at pick 65 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In the 3rd pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Christen Miller
By-the-book stuff, Christen Miller at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They will replay Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at pick No. 65 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick104 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
They paid sticker price for Daylen Everette in the 104th overall pick, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick141 Rnd5 Cade Klubnik
They read the board right and Cade Klubnik was the payoff at pick 141. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 2, with Aaron Anderson worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217 Rnd7 Rayshaun Benny
A tidy bit of business in slot 217, where Rayshaun Benny graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
