Draft Grade — Rams
Overall C
ValueD NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Rams. For now, C.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Rams spent the 26th overall pick on Maxwell Hairston, a name the board had a full 46 spots lower. A weekend of give and take that grades a C.

That Restrepo pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

If Maxwell Hairston and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Maxwell Hairston
In slot 26 they get an island corner, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick90 Rnd3 Will Howard
A premium they did not need to pay, Will Howard a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Gunnar Helm at the Round 3 slot is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at Round 4, Pick 25 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
