Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Rams: B-.

The Rams let the board come to them and it handed over Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 202, comfortably the best value of their weekend.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick90 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
They paid sticker price for Barrett Carter in Round 3, Pick 26, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick101 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 101st pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at pick No. 127 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick190 Rnd6 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at slot 190 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick195 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West in No. 195 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A tidy little value on Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They let Dont'e Thornton Jr. come to them and pounced at the 202nd overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
