The Cardinals let Walker fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The board owed the Cardinals one, and it paid up: Deone Walker, the No. 87 name on the board, sitting there at the 115th pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They are betting Jackson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick16 Rnd1 Mykel Williams

In pick No. 16 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.

Pick47 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson

Donovan Jackson at slot 47 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.

Pick78 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins

Jayden Higgins in pick 78 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.

Pick115 Rnd4 Deone Walker

Deone Walker at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.

Pick152 Rnd5 Nohl Williams

They robbed the room for Nohl Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
