Draft Grade — Rams
Overall

FutureB+
Washington should have been long gone. The Rams pounced, and earned a B. You build a draft on nights like this. Malik Washington had no business being available in pick 157, and the Rams did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
Every board in the league had Hartman lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Jordan Morgan
In No. 25 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57
Rnd2
Josh Newton
Josh Newton in the 57th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick94
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
A reach for Marshawn Kneeland in pick 94; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125
Rnd4
Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at pick No. 125 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128
Rnd4
James Williams
No edge and no loss on James Williams in slot 128; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157
Rnd5
Malik Washington
Somehow Malik Washington was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 21, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick158
Rnd5
Trey Knox
A big swing on Trey Knox at the 158th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sam Hartman in the Round 6 slot, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick196
Rnd6
Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams at slot 196 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
They robbed the room for Curtis Jacobs here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick214
Rnd6
Kenny Logan Jr.
A slide stopped in the 214th pick, with Kenny Logan Jr. worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216
Rnd6
Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris at the 216th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick218
Rnd6
Joshua Cephus
They paid a round early for Joshua Cephus in Round 6, Pick 43, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219
Rnd6
Matthew Jones
They liked Matthew Jones enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 219. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick221
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
A tidy bit of business in the Round 7 slot, where Sheridan Jones graded well above the range. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick254
Rnd7
Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy at pick 254 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
