Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Tony Grimes at the 218th overall pick, a reach of 70 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Hopper value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 21st overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick53 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A clean, defensible pick in slot 53 with a little surplus value in Chris Braswell. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Cam Hart
They reached a country mile for Cam Hart at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick153 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the 153rd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in Round 5, Pick 22 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick192 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Taking Ty'Ron Hopper in No. 192 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick214 Rnd6 Hayden Hatten
Hayden Hatten in the 214th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the 216th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick218 Rnd6 Tony Grimes
A wild overpay on Tony Grimes in pick No. 218, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick221 Rnd7 Robert Scott Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Robert Scott Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
