Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Rams: B.

Some picks age like wine; Haynes King at No. 211 will need to, sitting 87 spots clear of his grade. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Daniels at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 9 they get an enforcer at safety. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31 Rnd1 Chris Bell
In slot 31 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in pick No. 63 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Taking Zakee Wheatley in pick 95 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner in the 171st pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick201 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
Somehow CJ Daniels was still sitting there in the 201st overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 Haynes King
Haynes King at slot 211 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
By-the-book stuff, Trey Zuhn III at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jalen Thompson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen Thompson well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
