Draft Grade — Rams
Overall

FutureA+
The Rams checked most of the boxes and earned a B. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Eric Gentry in pick 205, a good 63 spots before the room expected him. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
The Thieneman value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
With interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Brandon Cisse
In slot 29 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick59
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Circle this one: Dillon Thieneman at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick61
Rnd2
Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at the 61st overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93
Rnd3
Daylen Everette
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent pick 93 on Daylen Everette, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick97
Rnd3
Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at No. 97 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick112
Rnd4
Max Iheanachor
A big swing on Max Iheanachor at the 112th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128
Rnd4
Drew Allar
They took Drew Allar at par in slot 128, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161
Rnd5
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Jermaine Mathews Jr. at pick 161 squarely in line with his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick167
Rnd5
Brenen Thompson
They let Brenen Thompson come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205
Rnd6
Eric Gentry
They left a pile of value on the table to take Eric Gentry this early at the 205th overall pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick208
Rnd6
Kamran James
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kamran James. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232
Rnd7
Jack Velling
Jack Velling in the 232nd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250
Rnd7
Trey Holly
Trey Holly in pick No. 250 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256
Rnd7
Zen Michalski
A real head-scratcher, Zen Michalski in No. 256 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
