The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Cardinals walked right past. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

Newton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
