No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Rams.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Dayon Hayes; the Rams did not wait, grabbing him 169 spots ahead at Round 4, Pick 25.

They banked enough surplus on Cornelius to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick90 Rnd3 Fadil Diggs
This one needs a full-page explanation: Fadil Diggs in pick 90, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They let Denzel Burke come to them and pounced at pick No. 101. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick127 Rnd4 Dayon Hayes
A big swing on Dayon Hayes at the 127th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. at the 190th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in slot 195 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick201 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
They will replay Ajani Cornelius at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 Akili Arnold
A straight-up fair deal on Akili Arnold at Round 6, Pick 26, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
