Larceny in slot 114 lands the Cardinals a B, Moore and all.

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.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Moore. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
By-the-book stuff, JT Tuimoloau at No. 47 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick 78 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
No drama and no debate, Barrett Carter went about where he belonged in the 81st overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick114 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They robbed the room for Malachi Moore here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick153 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Lander Barton slipping to Round 5, Pick 14 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
