Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Cardinals: C+.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Cardinals never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

Job largely done: linebacker settled and 1 of 8 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Hit on Jalon Walker and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick No. 16 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value. A real need, handled.
