Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Nobody had Joshua Cephus this high, and it is not close. The Rams reached 49 spots to get him at the Round 6 slot.

Getting Greenfield where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jared Verse
Value with a capital V on Jared Verse in the 19th overall pick, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the 52nd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dominick Puni. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Fair-plus on Brenden Rice, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
A straight-up fair deal on Dwight McGlothern at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick155 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
The board had cheaper options than Dillon Johnson at pick No. 155, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick196 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
A wild overpay on Dominique Hampton in Round 6, Pick 21, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at No. 209 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick213 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
No drama and no debate, Javontae Jean-Baptiste went about where he belonged in the 213th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at pick No. 217 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
You do not let an offensive lineman like Garret Greenfield reach slot 254 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
