Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Rams treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 213th pick on Solomon Tuliaupupu a full 58 spots early. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Hughes at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

Job largely done: safety settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In the 13th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick26 Rnd1 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
In the 26th pick they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 David Bailey
David Bailey at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Makhi Hughes
Makhi Hughes in slot 90 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ahmaad Moses
Nice patience on Ahmaad Moses, who had no business lasting to pick No. 142. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165 Rnd5 Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite in Round 5, Pick 27 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jalon Daniels
Taking Jalon Daniels in pick 198 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick213 Rnd6 Solomon Tuliaupupu
Value said wait; Solomon Tuliaupupu in slot 213 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
