Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams won the night they stopped Jackson from sliding. Grade: B-.

The board owed the Rams one, and it paid up: Khyree Jackson, the No. 128 name on the board, sitting there at No. 153 like a gift left on the doorstep.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In No. 21 they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
They read the board right and Kamari Lassiter was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 21. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick85 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Rod Moore at pick No. 85 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick153 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
They barely believed it either: Khyree Jackson still on the board at slot 153. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They paid sticker price for Jaylan Ford in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick192 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in the 192nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick214 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Curtis Jacobs in the 214th overall pick. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick216 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at pick 216 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They let Zion Tupuola-Fetui come to them and pounced at No. 218. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Omar Speights in slot 221 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
