Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Rams took Tyler Batty a full 118 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Getting Bassa where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with safety the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
In the 26th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sonny Styles this early at No. 90. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 3, Pick 36, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick125 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyler Batty in pick 188, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
They barely believed it either: Jeffrey Bassa still on the board at the 199th overall pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Hancock in the 200th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
