The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Cardinals, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.
However the rest shakes out, Latu at that price is a win they earned. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Murphy reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
Bottom line, with Laiatu Latu leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
No edge and no loss on Rome Odunze in No. 7; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick27
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
A conviction pick on Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 41 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
By-the-book stuff, Christian Haynes at slot 66 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71
Rnd3
Max Melton
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Max Melton. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick90
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 90th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
They paid sticker price for Braelon Allen in the 104th pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138
Rnd5
Kalen King
No drama and no debate, Kalen King went about where he belonged in pick 138. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick162
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
A reach on Grayson Murphy in No. 162; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at pick No. 186 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick226
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They liked Edefuan Ulofoshio enough to skip the value, taking him in the 226th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
