For all the boxes ticked, the Cardinals skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
The cost of the Conerly Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
