Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Rams did not so much draft Gennings Dunker as overpay for him, 21 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Elliott pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The back end got a real overhaul.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In pick 13 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick29 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
In No. 29 they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
The board had Emmanuel McNeil-Warren higher than pick No. 61, and the safety fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Max Klare
A tidy bit of business in slot 93, where Max Klare graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
A quiet steal in the 167th pick: Reggie Virgil for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick205 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
No edge and no loss on Sawyer Robertson in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Toriano Pride Jr.
No drama and no debate, Toriano Pride Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 208. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick232 Rnd7 Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott at the 232nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick250 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
A reach for Logan Taylor in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick256 Rnd7 Nick Barrett
They took Nick Barrett at par in No. 256, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
