Draft Grade — Rams
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Rams, and a C+ to match.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Rams shredded theirs for Ethan Downs. He came off 143 spots early, and the room will hear about it. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. The Kiner pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

If Josh Conerly Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In No. 26 they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod at Round 3, Pick 26 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
No edge and no loss on Tez Johnson in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Ethan Downs
They talked themselves into Ethan Downs at pick 127, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
By-the-book stuff, Jack Kiser at the 190th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick195 Rnd6 Brant Kuithe
They reached a country mile for Brant Kuithe at the 195th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick201 Rnd6 Corey Kiner
A quiet steal in the 201st pick: Corey Kiner for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Antwane Wells Jr. at slot 202 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
