You can draft well and still miss the point. The Cardinals did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. The final tally is a middling C+.

If Walker pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

So much rides on Jalon Walker that the real verdict is a season or two away.
