The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cardinals left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
If Walker pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 14 they get a three-down second-level presence, even if it was a touch early.
Aireontae Ersery at pick No. 45 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
