Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Rams: B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice safety is still a hole. The Rams never got to the one that mattered most. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

However the rest shakes out, Perkins at that price is a win they earned. Harbor has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Carter Smith
In pick No. 13 they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29 Rnd1 Suntarine Perkins
In the 29th pick they get juice off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick61 Rnd2 Zach Lutmer
Fair-plus on Zach Lutmer, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick93 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
A reach on Nyck Harbor in Round 3, Pick 29; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
