You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Cardinals did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A weekend to file away and forget, and an F to match.

Jayden Daniels is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They will need Worthy to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will answer for taking cornerback early while edge rusher went begging.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers. On value alone, Colson makes the weekend a net positive.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with edge rusher still staring back at them.
