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

The Rams spent real capital to be 85 picks early on Jaden Shirden, and the board is going to hold them to it. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

On value alone, Trotter Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick66 Rnd3 D.J. James
D.J. James at the 66th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at No. 83 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick90 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
A reach on Marshawn Kneeland in the 90th pick; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at slot 133 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick156 Rnd5 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at Round 5, Pick 20 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Trey Knox
Trey Knox in No. 171 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick191 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
No drama and no debate, Josh Proctor went about where he belonged in pick 191. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson in pick No. 207 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
A slide stopped in slot 214, with Jordan Magee worth more than the price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. at the 216th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218 Rnd6 Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris in the 218th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jaden Shirden
Jaden Shirden at Round 7, Pick 1 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
No edge and no loss on Daequan Hardy in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
