Draft Grade — Rams

The Rams checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. The Rams treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 6, Pick 31 on Bear Alexander a full 47 spots early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On value alone, Delane makes the weekend a net positive.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the 22nd overall pick they get a green-dot type in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick31
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In the 31st pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick41
Rnd2
Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane at slot 41 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick63
Rnd2
Xavier Chaplin
Xavier Chaplin at Round 2, Pick 31 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95
Rnd3
Chase Bisontis
They talked themselves into Chase Bisontis at pick No. 95, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171
Rnd5
Aaron Graves
By-the-book stuff, Aaron Graves at pick 171 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick196
Rnd6
Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak in pick 196 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211
Rnd6
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at the 211th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234
Rnd7
Robert Spears-Jennings
A reach for Robert Spears-Jennings in the 234th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248
Rnd7
Smith Snowden
No drama and no debate, Smith Snowden went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
