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

They will need Simon to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Rourke falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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