Draft Grade — Rams
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The Rams lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Isaiah Jatta at the Round 5 slot, a reach of 75 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Put together, it is a D-.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Spending an early pick on cornerback with running back and interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

On value alone, Daniels makes the weekend a net positive.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In No. 13 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick29 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get an enforcer at safety at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
A real head-scratcher, Max Iheanachor in the 61st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
They paid up for Omar Cooper Jr. at slot 62 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Malik Muhammad adds a cornerback and leaves running back and interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
They took Jaishawn Barham at par in the 108th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick128 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at the 128th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick167 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
They paid sticker price for Aaron Anderson in Round 5, Pick 29, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd5 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta at pick No. 168 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205 Rnd6 Logan Fano
Value said wait; Logan Fano in pick 205 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jack Kelly
A wild overpay on Jack Kelly in slot 208, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick232 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at the 232nd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick250 Rnd7 Brent Austin
A slide stopped in No. 250, with Brent Austin worth more than the price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick251 Rnd7 Josh Cuevas
A tidy bit of business in the Round 7 slot, where Josh Cuevas graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels at No. 256 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
