Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Rams, and a B- to prove it.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Rams spent the Round 4 slot on Fadil Diggs, a name the board had a full 106 spots lower. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Gordon II. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the 26th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick90 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Nothing to complain about; Danny Stutsman went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick100 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Fair-plus on Ashton Gillotte, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 Fadil Diggs
Value said wait; Fadil Diggs in Round 4, Pick 25 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick192 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
They will replay Ollie Gordon II at slot 192 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at No. 197 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick203 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Taking Upton Stout in Round 6, Pick 25 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
Value with a capital V on Roc Taylor in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
