The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cardinals reached some 223 spots for Jeremy Crawshaw, and value like that does not grow back. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.

They will answer for taking specialist early while quarterback, wide receiver and other spots went begging. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.
