Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

The search is over. The Rams handed the keys to Garrett Nussmeier, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

If Bowry pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In No. 13 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick29 Rnd1 Garrett Nussmeier
They reached into another round for Garrett Nussmeier, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick61 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 29, where Michael Taaffe graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott in slot 167 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick205 Rnd6 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at pick 205 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick208 Rnd6 Brett Norfleet
Brett Norfleet at the 208th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jacobe Johnson
No edge and no loss on Jacobe Johnson in pick No. 232; it is a wash and a sensible one. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick250 Rnd7 Micah Morris
No drama and no debate, Micah Morris went about where he belonged in the 250th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick256 Rnd7 Raheem Anderson II
Raheem Anderson II in slot 256 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
