The Rams treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 202nd overall pick on Rayshon Luke a full 248 spots early. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

The Dart pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.
