Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 204: the Rams steal Bryant and grade out a B.

The Rams did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cobee Bryant fell into No. 204. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Reaching for Helm left real value on the table behind him.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick 26 they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick90 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
A reach on Gunnar Helm in the 90th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick100 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
A quiet steal in No. 100: Denzel Burke for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
They took Kyle McCord at par in slot 126, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They barely believed it either: Jack Nelson still on the board at Round 6, Pick 14. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Somehow Jay Higgins was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick204 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at the 204th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
