The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Cardinals walked right past. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They banked enough surplus on Barton to cover a lot of smaller sins. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
