Draft Grade — Rams
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
Barton should have been long gone. The Rams pounced, and earned a D+.

The Rams went off the board in a big way for Jalen Milroe, 39 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Hard to defend, and the D+ reflects that.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. On value alone, Barton makes the weekend a net positive.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In the 26th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
A quiet steal in the Round 1 slot: Tyler Warren for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in slot 62 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke is a better player than pick No. 100 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick192 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in pick No. 192 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick203 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 203 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the 204th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
