Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Rams won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Rams did exactly that with Aaron Lewis in pick 221.

Getting Schrader where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 27 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in pick No. 51 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick66 Rnd3 Troy Franklin
Somehow Troy Franklin was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 2, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They liked Mohamed Kamara enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 104. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick157 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A tidy little value on Ty'Ron Hopper in slot 157, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick173 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Joe Milton III at the 173rd overall pick is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick188 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. slid further than he should have, and slot 188 is lovely value for the running back. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick191 Rnd6 Trey Knox
Nice patience on Trey Knox, who had no business lasting to the Round 6 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights at pick 214 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick216 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Christian Jones in No. 216, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218 Rnd6 Erick All
A reasonable price with a little left over, Erick All in Round 6, Pick 43. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick221 Rnd7 Aaron Lewis
A wild overpay on Aaron Lewis in the 221st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225 Rnd7 Cody Schrader
You do not let a running back like Cody Schrader reach pick No. 225 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
