The Cardinals spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kaleb Johnson, the No. 39 name on the board, in the Round 3 slot.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Quenton Nelson gives the group a proven body among the projects.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Isaiah Bond at Round 2, Pick 15 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Steal is underselling it; Kaleb Johnson at the 78th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
