Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Rams kept it disciplined and banked a B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Rams started one anyway for Zion Logue, 27 picks ahead of schedule. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Tay Martin gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In slot 29 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 D.J. James
D.J. James at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick63 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Adisa Isaac. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jamari Thrash
They paid a round early for Jamari Thrash in the 83rd overall pick, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
They paid sticker price for Tykee Smith in No. 98, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
They jumped the gun on Javion Cohen, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick156 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in slot 156 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick157 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Curtis Jacobs well ahead of where he belonged. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick191 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
No edge and no loss on Austin Stogner in Round 6, Pick 16; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick214 Rnd6 Zion Logue
A big swing on Zion Logue at No. 214, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick216 Rnd6 BJ Mayes
No drama and no debate, BJ Mayes went about where he belonged in the 216th overall pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick218 Rnd6 Kedon Slovis
They paid up for Kedon Slovis at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick221 Rnd7 Mark Perry
Mark Perry in pick No. 221 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
