This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Lander Barton, the No. 139 name on the board, stolen at slot 237. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A to cap it.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The Cardinals clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick-by-Pick
Steal is underselling it; Alfred Collins at the 78th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Circle this one: Andrew Mukuba at slot 114 is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Quinshon Judkins at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Jordan Phillips at the 157th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 237 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
