Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cardinals.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Cardinals did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most.

On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
They took Josh Simmons at par in pick No. 16, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
