Start where it matters. The Cardinals took Michael Penix Jr. to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On value alone, Penix Jr. makes the weekend a net positive.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
