A solid, sensible weekend for the Cardinals: B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Cardinals never got to the one that mattered most. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 16th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
