Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams found their guy under center in Penix Jr.: B.

The Rams spent the pick that matters most on Michael Penix Jr., and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The cost of the Slovis reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That Smith-Wade pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In pick 19 they get a franchise quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Morgan at the 52nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in No. 83; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Ray Davis
Fair-plus on Ray Davis, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
You do not let an edge rusher like Jalyx Hunt reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A slide stopped in the 155th pick, with Kitan Oladapo worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick196 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington is a better player than slot 196 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at pick No. 209 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick213 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at the 213th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jacob Monk
Jacob Monk in pick 217 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis at slot 254 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
