Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cardinals, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On value alone, Newton makes the weekend a net positive.

On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
