No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cardinals left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
If Williams pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Nic Scourton at pick No. 47 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Barrett Carter at pick 78 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
