Analysis: The Cardinals acquired a third-round pick by moving down eight spots with Atlanta early in the second round. Arizona grabbed two much-needed athletic outside corners in Melton and Jones, providing excellent value with both picks. Benson can bring some explosiveness to the backfield, and he was selected in the appropriate round. I’m not convinced that Adams at guard over Cooper Beebe and Reiman at tight end over Ja’Tavion Sanders and Cade Stover are worthwhile choices.
Analysis: Atlanta moved up for Orhorhoro by trading the third-round pick it obtained from Jacksonville for receiver Calvin Ridley. He’s an athletic inside defensive lineman who could start, but I don’t think he was a top-40 pick, and he was selected ahead of Jer’Zhan Newton. Trice is not the most athletic edge rusher, but he fills a need for extra depth. The Falcons require a receiver and a cornerback early in Day 3.
Baltimore needed to find a tackle after Morgan Moses left and veteran Ronnie Stanley struggled to remain healthy. Rosengarten was an ideal fit because he was a blind-side protector for lefty Michael Penix Jr. at Washington (playing right tackle) and has the ability to play on the left side as well. Isaac is another typical Baltimore bargain in the third round, coming into a position where the team needed more depth. Picking a guard should be a top priority on Saturday.
