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

The Rams put a flag in the ground for Drew Shelton, 27 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Taaffe at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In pick 13 they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick29 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In the 29th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Drew Shelton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Drew Shelton in the 61st pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at No. 93 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167 Rnd5 Taylen Green
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Taylen Green well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick205 Rnd6 Bobby Jamison-Travis
By-the-book stuff, Bobby Jamison-Travis at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp is a better player than the 208th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Connor Tollison
Connor Tollison in the 232nd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Charles Demmings at Round 7, Pick 34. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick256 Rnd7 Wesley Bissainthe
No drama and no debate, Wesley Bissainthe went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
