Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Williams should have been long gone. The Rams pounced, and earned a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Rams watched Isaiah Williams slide 23 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
A clean, defensible pick in pick 51 with a little surplus value in Jonah Elliss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at No. 83 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick156 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
No edge and no loss on Chau Smith-Wade in the 156th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick157 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
By-the-book stuff, Braelon Allen at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick191 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Nothing to complain about; Josh Proctor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick214 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All at the 214th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
You do not let a running back like Rasheen Ali reach pick No. 216 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Good price on Sam Hartman in pick 218, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick221 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
The board fumbled Isaiah Williams all the way to No. 221, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
