The Cardinals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Mykel Williams, the No. 16 name on the board, in slot 47. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
Every board in the league had Colby lower, and that gap is the story. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
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 a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Mykel Williams at Round 2, Pick 15 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A premium they did not need to pay, Donovan Jackson a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cam Skattebo at the 114th overall pick is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
A big swing on Connor Colby at No. 153, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
