Draft Grade — Rams
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Rams bled value on every deal, hence the C.

Somebody took the Rams to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. A mixed bag that lands at C.

The Kneeland pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Speights pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 20th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
By-the-book stuff, Kiran Amegadjie at pick 52 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick84 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
They left a pile of value on the table to take Marshawn Kneeland this early at slot 84. It fills a real need, too.
Pick102 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
They took Michael Pratt at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick141 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick No. 141 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick157 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Grayson Murphy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Trey Knox
Trey Knox in Round 5, Pick 22 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in the 191st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Isaiah Neyor
They did well to land Isaiah Neyor in pick 214, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216 Rnd6 Maurice Smith
A wild overpay on Maurice Smith in the 216th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd6 Zakhari Franklin
No drama and no debate, Zakhari Franklin went about where he belonged in pick No. 218. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick221 Rnd7 Omar Speights
They barely believed it either: Omar Speights still on the board at the 221st overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick223 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
They let Sheridan Jones come to them and pounced at No. 223. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
