Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Rams a B-.

The Rams clearly saw something nobody else did in David Walker, taking him 30 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Marks at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Aireontae Ersery
In No. 26 they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at pick No. 90 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick101 Rnd3 Cody Simon
Value said wait; Cody Simon in the 101st overall pick says they were not listening. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick127 Rnd4 David Walker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for David Walker. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Alex Mastromanno
This one needs a full-page explanation: Alex Mastromanno in pick 190, miles early. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
The board had Jaylen Reed higher than slot 195, and the safety fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick201 Rnd6 Woody Marks
Woody Marks in slot 201 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick202 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Circle this one: Oronde Gadsden II at the 202nd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
