The real work happened on the phones. The Cardinals fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Courtland Sutton gives the group a proven body among the projects.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 1 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, with Rome Odunze leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
