The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cardinals left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered. The back end got a real overhaul.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
A straight-up fair deal on Caleb Downs at Round 1, Pick 3, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Anthony Hill Jr. in the 34th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Romello Height. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
