FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Rams to a C-. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Eric Gentry at pick No. 208 is 104 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. It is not that Davis is a bad player; it is that the Rams had louder needs to answer first. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hill Jr..
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.
Hit on Anthony Hill Jr. and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick61
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Anthony Hill Jr. at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick93
Rnd3
Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 29 is lovely value for the safety. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94
Rnd3
Daylen Everette
No drama and no debate, Daylen Everette went about where he belonged in No. 94. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick95
Rnd3
Tacario Davis
They bypassed pressing needs at running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Tacario Davis, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick108
Rnd4
Kage Casey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kage Casey well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116
Rnd4
Miller Moss
A real head-scratcher, Miller Moss in slot 116 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
They did well to land Eli Raridon in Round 4, Pick 31, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150
Rnd5
Jalen Farmer
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen Farmer. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167
Rnd5
J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at the 167th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205
Rnd6
Bud Clark
Nothing to complain about; Bud Clark went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick208
Rnd6
Eric Gentry
Value said wait; Eric Gentry in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick215
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
They jumped the gun on Trey Zuhn III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick232
Rnd7
Hykeem Williams
Hykeem Williams at pick 232 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick250
Rnd7
Tony Grimes
They talked themselves into Tony Grimes at No. 250, and the board did not agree. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick256
Rnd7
Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman in slot 256 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
