Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Rams robbed the room for Smith. Final grade: B.

The Rams spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Ainias Smith, the No. 161 name on the board, in slot 216. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Every board in the league had Bartholomew lower, and that gap is the story. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kingsley Suamataia. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cam Hart
A premium they did not need to pay, Cam Hart a notch or two before his time. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 97th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A real head-scratcher, Jaylan Ford in pick No. 137 is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick155 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in slot 155 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick160 Rnd5 Theo Wease
They will replay Theo Wease at pick 160 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at No. 209 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jalen Berger
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Berger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215 Rnd6 Graham Mertz
Good price on Graham Mertz in slot 215, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ainias Smith
They robbed the room for Ainias Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd6 Gavin Bartholomew
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gavin Bartholomew this early at pick No. 218. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jontrey Hunter
They reached a country mile for Jontrey Hunter at the 221st pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
