Draft Grade — Rams

Grand theft in No. 251: the Rams steal Heidenreich and grade out a B-.

When a board-topper like Eli Heidenreich slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Rams did not.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The Tollison pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In the 13th pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value.
Pick61 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A tidy bit of business in No. 61, where Emmanuel McNeil-Warren graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Drew Shelton
By-the-book stuff, Drew Shelton at pick 93 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Cole Payton
They read the board right and Cole Payton was the payoff at pick No. 207. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
They robbed the room for Jimmy Rolder here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick251 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
Somehow Eli Heidenreich was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252 Rnd7 Connor Tollison
A reach for Connor Tollison in slot 252; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
