Draft Grade — Rams
Overall C
ValueB NeedB TradesD- FutureB-
Pratt should have been long gone. The Rams pounced, and earned a C.

The Rams did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Michael Pratt fell into the 130th pick. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Knox reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton slid further than he should have, and the 52nd overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick84 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
No edge and no loss on Gabriel Murphy in No. 84; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
By-the-book stuff, Jaden Hicks at slot 108 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt at pick No. 130 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick157 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
They did well to land Braelon Allen in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick158 Rnd5 Trey Knox
They reached into another round for Trey Knox, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick191 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in the 191st pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick214 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Muasau. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick216 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Value with a capital V on Myles Jones in the 216th pick, a genuine coup. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick218 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights at slot 218 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jontrey Hunter
Nice patience on Jontrey Hunter, who had no business lasting to pick No. 221. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They took Joshua Cephus at par in No. 230, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
