Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Rams turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Rams treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 6, Pick 14 on Ethan Downs a full 77 spots early.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Riley. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Fair-plus on Xavier Watts, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Carson Schwesinger. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick90 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
A tidy bit of business in No. 90, where Mason Taylor graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick100 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the 100th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
They will replay Jalen Milroe at the 126th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 154, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick192 Rnd6 Ethan Downs
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ethan Downs in slot 192, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Taking Jack Nelson in pick No. 197 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Somehow Connor Colby was still sitting there in the 203rd pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Steal is underselling it; Quincy Riley at Round 6, Pick 26 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
