Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 190: the Rams steal Helm and grade out a B.

The Rams spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Gunnar Helm, the No. 70 name on the board, in the 190th overall pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
You do not let a running back like Ashton Jeanty reach slot 28 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90 Rnd3 Cam Ward
They barely believed it either: Cam Ward still on the board at the 90th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
Somehow Wyatt Milum was still sitting there in pick 92, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in No. 101 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in pick No. 123, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
Taking Colston Loveland in the 128th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 Xavier Restrepo
They will replay Xavier Restrepo at Round 5, Pick 19 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick190 Rnd6 Gunnar Helm
Circle this one: Gunnar Helm at No. 190 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Azareye'h Thomas
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 195 is the definition of value, full stop. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick197 Rnd6 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in Round 6, Pick 22 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
