Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cardinals: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Cardinals walked right past. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Offensive lineman 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 short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in No. 16 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They took Jonah Savaiinaea at par in the 47th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
No drama and no debate, Chris Paul Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 78. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
