Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams robbed the room for Paul Jr.. Final grade: B-.

When a board-topper like Chris Paul Jr. slides to pick 200, you do not overthink it, and the Rams did not. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The cost of the Griffith reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Harold Fannin Jr.
In pick 26 they get a security blanket over the middle, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in slot 90 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Circle this one: Darien Porter at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick125 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Elic Ayomanor in No. 125, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in the 188th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick199 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
Value said wait; Thor Griffith in the 199th pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
They will replay Chris Paul Jr. at pick No. 200 for years; that is how good the value is. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
