Draft Grade — Rams
Overall C+
ValueA+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Rams for Skattebo: C+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Cam Skattebo at Round 6, Pick 25 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. It is not that Knight Jr. is a bad player; it is that the Rams had louder needs to answer first. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Tyreek Hill gives the group a proven body among the projects.

If Harold Fannin Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick64 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in the 64th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in pick 79, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick90 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A surprising call. With offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent Round 3, Pick 26 on Demetrius Knight Jr., a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick96 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in the 96th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
They barely believed it either: Tyleik Williams still on the board at slot 100. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They robbed the room for Kevin Winston Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in No. 200, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205 Rnd6 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
