The Cardinals got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the B-. The phones were a trap the Cardinals kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a seam-stretching tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Brian Thomas Jr. at the 27th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
