Draft Grade — Rams
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureF
A passer of the future in Nix, and a F, for the Rams.

The Rams put a flag in the ground for Zion Logue, 50 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Everything downstream of Bo Nix depends on Bo Nix, and the building knows it.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. The Baker value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick 19 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at No. 83 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick No. 100 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
They paid sticker price for Leonard Taylor III in Round 4, Pick 12, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
By-the-book stuff, Ty'Ron Hopper at the 153rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick154 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177 Rnd6 Brennan Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Brennan Jackson at pick No. 177, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick191 Rnd6 Trey Knox
Good price on Trey Knox in pick 191, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick212 Rnd6 Javon Baker
You do not let a wide receiver like Javon Baker reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Brian Ugwu
A reach on Brian Ugwu in No. 217; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218 Rnd6 Zion Logue
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zion Logue. It fills a real need, too.
