Draft Grade — Rams
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Rams let Coleman fall into their laps, and walked away with a D.

The Rams lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

The Coleman pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They are betting Milton III proves the room right and everyone else wrong. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 19 they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 23 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A quiet steal in the 52nd overall pick: Ennis Rakestraw Jr. for less than the market said. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tyler Nubin
Circle this one: Tyler Nubin at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 86 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
A premium they did not need to pay, Cole Bishop a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Theo Johnson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at the 153rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick154 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser slid further than he should have, and the 154th overall pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They reached a country mile for Joe Milton III at No. 177, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
They read the board right and Caedan Wallace was the payoff at slot 191. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Fair-plus on Nathaniel Watson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick217 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Value with a capital V on Justin Rogers in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
Emani Bailey at pick 218 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
They barely believed it either: Elijah Jones still on the board at pick 229. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
