JW121110 DRAFTING FOR THERams

Draft Grade — Rams

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Rams and Hoover: B-. You build a draft on nights like this. Josh Hoover had no business being available in the Round 7 slot, and the Rams did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Alexander pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Kadyn Proctor
In pick No. 9 they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In the 31st overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick63
Rnd2
Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at the 63rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95
Rnd3
Sam Leavitt
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Sam Leavitt at pick 95 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171
Rnd5
Kevin Coleman Jr.
They took Kevin Coleman Jr. at par in Round 5, Pick 31, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick201
Rnd6
Antonio Kite
Value with a capital V on Antonio Kite in No. 201, a genuine coup. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick211
Rnd6
Mark Fletcher Jr.
Mark Fletcher Jr. in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228
Rnd7
Josh Hoover
Josh Hoover in slot 228 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248
Rnd7
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at the 248th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
