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

The Rams did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kevin Jennings fell into pick 232. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They will need Tiernan to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick29 Rnd1 Caleb Tiernan
In pick No. 29 they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at slot 61 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
No drama and no debate, Jacob Rodriguez went about where he belonged in the 93rd pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick167 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick No. 167 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick208 Rnd6 Lawson Luckie
A conviction pick on Lawson Luckie at Round 6, Pick 29 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
Circle this one: Kevin Jennings at No. 232 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250 Rnd7 Colbie Young
Colbie Young at the 250th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall is a better player than pick 256 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
