Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Cardinals to leave a draft. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Sampson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.16 · Pick 16 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 17
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 39
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jihaad Campbell at the 47th pick is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Dylan Sampson · RB · rank 65
Dylan Sampson at pick No. 78 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
