The Cardinals cashed the board's mistake on Nwankpa: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Xavier Nwankpa at slot 195 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Wagner has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick17 Rnd1 Deontae Lawson

In slot 17 they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.

Pick49 Rnd2 Aamil Wagner

The board had cheaper options than Aamil Wagner at pick No. 49, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.

Pick81 Rnd3 Aaron Graves

They paid sticker price for Aaron Graves in the 81st overall pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.

Pick117 Rnd4 Austin Romaine

Austin Romaine at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.

Pick156 Rnd5 Miller Moss

Miller Moss at the 156th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
