Arizona Cardinals

More right than wrong for the Cardinals, and a B- to prove it.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Cardinals walked right past. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

On value alone, Alexander makes the weekend a net positive. They are betting Mbow proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.16 · Pick 16 · Mykel Williams · DE-EDGE · rank 25
Mykel Williams in the Round 1 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Marcus Mbow · OT · rank 58
A premium they did not need to pay, Marcus Mbow a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Zy Alexander · CB · rank 62
Nice patience on Zy Alexander, who had no business lasting to No. 78. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
