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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Elijah Roberts at the 127th overall pick, a reach of 51 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Getting Collins where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick 26 they get a difference-maker at receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick90 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They will replay Alfred Collins at pick No. 90 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Circle this one: Devin Neal at the 101st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Elijah Roberts. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A tidy bit of business in No. 190, where Jack Kiser graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick195 Rnd6 CJ West
Quietly one of the better values of the day, CJ West at the Round 6 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick201 Rnd6 Clay Webb
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Clay Webb in the 201st overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tahj Brooks in the Round 6 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
