Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Grand theft in the 93rd overall pick: the Rams steal McNeil-Warren and grade out a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Emmanuel McNeil-Warren slide, and the Rams were the ones holding the card at the 93rd pick. Highway robbery.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In slot 29 they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Somehow Caleb Banks was still sitting there in the 49th overall pick, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They robbed the room for Emmanuel McNeil-Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 167 is the definition of value, full stop. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick205 Rnd6 Barion Brown
No drama and no debate, Barion Brown went about where he belonged in No. 205. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh in the 208th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jack Velling
A clean, defensible pick in Round 7, Pick 16 with a little surplus value in Jack Velling. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick250 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris in the 250th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ja'Keem Jackson
Ja'Keem Jackson at pick No. 256 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
