Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 34: the Rams steal Gore Jr. and grade out a B.

Whoever sat across the table from the Rams should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. DeShon Elliott gives the group a proven body among the projects.

The Murphy pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at slot 20 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick52 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braden Fiske. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in the 83rd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the 98th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in pick No. 99 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Cedric Gray. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick154 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
A quiet steal in pick 154: Tommy Eichenberg for less than the market said. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in slot 155 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at No. 195 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
They let Ty'Ron Hopper come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick209 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All slipping to Round 6, Pick 34 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
They paid sticker price for Javontae Jean-Baptiste in the 213th pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
They paid up for Myles Murphy at pick No. 217 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick254 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the 254th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
