Back to the drawing board for the Cardinals: D.

The war room fell hard for Mason Fairchild, and it showed at the Round 1 slot: 313 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Dallin Holker
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick27 Rnd1 Mason Fairchild
In pick 27 they get a security blanket over the middle, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Marshel Martin
A wild overpay on Marshel Martin in No. 35, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66 Rnd3 Trajan Jeffcoat
Trajan Jeffcoat at the 66th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Isaac Rex
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac Rex well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 John David White
Value said wait; John David White in the 90th overall pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Rondell Bothroyd
They reached into another round for Rondell Bothroyd, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
They paid up for Justin Eboigbe at pick 138 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Nick Gargiulo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nick Gargiulo this early at the Round 5 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jordan Strachan
Jordan Strachan at the 186th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick226 Rnd7 Austin Reed
This one needs a full-page explanation: Austin Reed in Round 7, Pick 6, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
