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

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Rams reached some 65 spots for Jaden Shirden, and value like that does not grow back. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

With interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 22 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with T.J. Tampa worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick83 Rnd3 Josh Newton
A want over a need in slot 83: Josh Newton adds a cornerback while interior defensive lineman keeps waiting.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
They jumped the gun on Tykee Smith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
A curious use of pick 97. Interior defensive lineman needed the pick; an OLB-EDGE in Javon Solomon did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in pick No. 126 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick No. 156 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick157 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
A tidy little value on Keith Randolph Jr. in slot 157, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 Javon Baker
The board had Javon Baker higher than No. 191, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick214 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
They went early on J.J. Weaver in the 214th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jalen Green
Fair-plus on Jalen Green, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick218 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
A reach for Trevor Keegan in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick221 Rnd7 Phil Jurkovec
They paid a round early for Phil Jurkovec in the 221st pick, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jaden Shirden
A wild overpay on Jaden Shirden in pick 241, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
