Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Rams checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Nobody had Isaac TeSlaa this high, and it is not close. The Rams reached 91 spots to get him at pick 142.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Cornelius pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
A slide stopped in the 36th overall pick, with Colston Loveland worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Riley Leonard
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Riley Leonard well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 101 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick107 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A conviction pick on Emery Jones Jr. at pick 107 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
The board had cheaper options than Pat Bryant at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Isaac TeSlaa
They reached into another round for Isaac TeSlaa, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Jason Marshall Jr. a notch or two before his time. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Taking Ajani Cornelius in pick 195 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at slot 201 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Craig Woodson
They talked themselves into Craig Woodson at the 202nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
