Draft Grade — Rams
Overall D
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A puzzling weekend of work from the Rams: D.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Rodrick Pleasant at Round 1, Pick 13 is 458 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Everette. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Rodrick Pleasant
In pick No. 13 they get a potential shutdown corner, a steep price for the projection.
Pick29 Rnd1 Samson Okunlola
In slot 29 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Terry Moore
Terry Moore in pick 61 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jaiden Ausberry
They reached a country mile for Jaiden Ausberry at the 93rd pick, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick167 Rnd5 Tyler Van Dyke
They talked themselves into Tyler Van Dyke at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jamal Haynes
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jamal Haynes this early at No. 207. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick210 Rnd6 Daylen Everette
They robbed the room for Daylen Everette here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick232 Rnd7 Aaron Anderson
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 232 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Zane Durant
Taking Zane Durant in pick No. 250 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jelani Thurman
Value said wait; Jelani Thurman in the 255th pick says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
