The Cardinals let Abney II fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somebody in pick No. 65 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cardinals sat still while Keith Abney II, the No. 45 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick3 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa

In slot 3 they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.

Pick34 Rnd2 Sonny Styles

A quiet steal in No. 34: Sonny Styles for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.

Pick65 Rnd3 Keith Abney II

Keith Abney II in the 65th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.

Pick104 Rnd4 Caden Curry

Caden Curry in pick 104 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.

Pick141 Rnd5 Drew Allar

By-the-book stuff, Drew Allar at Round 5, Pick 3 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
