Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cardinals.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Cardinals did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 16th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A real need, handled.
