The Cardinals' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it.
That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 16 they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. A real need, handled.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Princely Umanmielen at slot 47 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Tate Ratledge at pick 78 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
