Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Rams.

The Rams torched the value chart for Dont'e Thornton Jr., taking him 82 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Etienne pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In pick 26 they get a security blanket over the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick90 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
A straight-up fair deal on Quinn Ewers at the 90th pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick101 Rnd3 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 101 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
They paid sticker price for Cobee Bryant in pick No. 127, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They jumped the gun on Jay Higgins, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick195 Rnd6 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jaylin Smith
A real head-scratcher, Jaylin Smith in the 201st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A premium they did not need to pay, Jordan Hancock a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
