Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Rams and Heldt: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Rams watched Will Heldt slide 27 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Jackson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Cody Jackson
In pick 13 they get a true top target, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29 Rnd1 Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb slipping to the 29th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Bray Hubbard
They barely believed it either: Bray Hubbard still on the board at the 61st pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Will Heldt
Will Heldt at slot 93 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick167 Rnd5 Aidan Chiles
A premium they did not need to pay, Aidan Chiles a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick205 Rnd6 Quinten Joyner
They took Quinten Joyner at par in Round 6, Pick 26, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick208 Rnd6 Will Echoles
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Will Echoles at pick No. 208. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jaquaize Pettaway
A tidy little value on Jaquaize Pettaway in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250 Rnd7 Ben Christman
Ben Christman at the 250th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256 Rnd7 CJ Baxter
Good price on CJ Baxter in slot 256, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
