Inside linebacker was the theme of the night Thursday. Mostly, it was about first-round pick Haason Reddick. But briefly, and not unexepectedly, since it was the first time Steve Keim and Bruce Arians were available since the news Daryl Washington was conditionally reinstated, they were asked about Washington.

"I'll be honest with you, for the last 72 hours, I've done nothing but stare at college tape and that draft board," Keim said. "At the appropriate time, we'll address that. I'll be honest with you, I haven't put a lot of thought into it."

Keim added that the Cards would speak to Washington "after the draft."

-- The Cardinals are pretty solid at ILB now, Washington or no, by adding Reddick with Karlos Dansby and Deone Bucannon. Reddick can work behind Dansby and I won't be surprised to see all three on the field at times.

-- No quarterback Thursday. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a quarterback Friday, in either the second or third round. DeShone Kizer is still out there, as is Nate Peterman, Davis Webb and Josh Dobbs. We'll see how it plays out.

-- The 49ers made some nice moves Thursday under first-year GM John Lynch, adding a pair of good defenders (DT Solomon Thomas and LB Reuben Foster) while adding some extra picks. Foster was predicted to be a top-10 pick. His shoulder injury may have scared off teams. Bruce Arians said the Cards liked Reddick over Foster because of Reddick's versatility.

-- Reddick's story is amazing. He had his last two high school seasons end with injury. He walked on at Temple as a cornerback. He didn't get a scholarship until after his junior year. When Keim talked pre-draft about liking players with the proverbial chip on his shoulder, Reddick fits the bill. "There were some good times and bad times, a lot of hard work that had to be put in," Reddick said. "It was definitely a journey, but in the end, everything worked out for the best."
