Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB TradesC+ FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Rams for Stewart: B+.

When a board-topper like Josaiah Stewart slides to slot 204, you do not overthink it, and the Rams did not. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

Every board in the league had Higgins lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

The La'el Collins pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Jack Sawyer in Round 1, Pick 25, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in pick 59 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in No. 69 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in the 90th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
They robbed the room for Jalon Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in the 107th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick181 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick204 Rnd6 Josaiah Stewart
You do not let an edge rusher like Josaiah Stewart reach pick No. 204 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick205 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
They barely believed it either: T.J. Sanders still on the board at the 205th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
