Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Rams and Suamataia: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kingsley Suamataia, the Round 3 slot, roughly 43 picks past where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Every board in the league had Reiman lower, and that gap is the story.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 19th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braden Fiske. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Xavier Legette worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 37 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
They will replay Cedric Gray at slot 153 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
A tidy little value on Jarrian Jones in the 154th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick177 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden slipping to pick 177 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick191 Rnd6 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in No. 191 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
They barely believed it either: Kendall Milton still on the board at slot 212. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
A reach for Tip Reiman in pick No. 217; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick218 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Circle this one: Jha'Quan Jackson at Round 6, Pick 43 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
