For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Cardinals walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

They banked enough surplus on Murphy II to cover a lot of smaller sins. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
