Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Rams did not so much draft Erick All as overpay for him, 34 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

It is not that Newton is a bad player; it is that the Rams had louder needs to answer first. The Muasau value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 23 they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick55 Rnd2 Josh Newton
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent pick No. 55 on Josh Newton, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at pick 87 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the 155th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in Round 5, Pick 24 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick192 Rnd6 Theo Wease
Somehow Theo Wease was still sitting there in slot 192, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick214 Rnd6 Blake Watson
Value said wait; Blake Watson in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Erick All
A wild overpay on Erick All in pick 216, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick218 Rnd6 Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter in the 218th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick221 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau in the 221st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
