The board owed the Cardinals one, and it paid up: Malaki Starks, the No. 27 name on the board, sitting there at Round 2, Pick 15 like a gift left on the doorstep. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
