The Cardinals spent real capital to be 33 picks early on Smael Mondon Jr., and the board is going to hold them to it. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
