Draft Grade — Rams
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Rams get a C+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Darien Porter, 31 picks early at slot 46. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at Round 2, Pick 14 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick90 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Terrance Ferguson in the Round 3 slot, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in No. 101 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kyle Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Kyle Williams at pick No. 127, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick190 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They did well to land Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 190, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Clay Webb
No drama and no debate, Clay Webb went about where he belonged in slot 195. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at Round 6, Pick 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick202 Rnd6 Craig Woodson
A wild overpay on Craig Woodson in pick 202, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
