Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Cardinals let Tracy Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

The board owed the Cardinals one, and it paid up: Tyrone Tracy Jr., the No. 150 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 186 like a gift left on the doorstep. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The Cardinals paired the rookies with proven help, Elgton Jenkins leading the way. They are betting Robinson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Joe Alt and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 11 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In slot 27 they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
They paid sticker price for Troy Franklin in the 35th pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins slipping to the 66th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in pick No. 90 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in Round 4, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138 Rnd5 James Williams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing James Williams in the Round 5 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Circle this one: Chau Smith-Wade at No. 162 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick177 Rnd6 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at pick No. 177 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186 Rnd6 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Tyrone Tracy Jr. at Round 6, Pick 11 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
