Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams cashed the board's mistake on Hall: B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named wide receiver, a need the Rams walked right past. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Hall pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The Parker II reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In the 13th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Keith Abney II for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick93 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II in the 93rd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
Sawyer Robertson at No. 207 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
They liked Xavier Nwankpa enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 16. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick251 Rnd7 TJ Hall
TJ Hall in pick 251 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick252 Rnd7 John Michael Gyllenborg
The board had John Michael Gyllenborg higher than pick No. 252, and the tight end fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
