Draft Grade — Rams
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Rams.

The Rams bet big and early on Marshel Martin, 115 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

If T'Vondre Sweat and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In pick No. 19 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Somehow Jermaine Burton was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 19, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156 Rnd5 Javon Foster
They robbed the room for Javon Foster here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 157th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Roger Rosengarten at No. 191. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Marshel Martin
Value said wait; Marshel Martin in the 214th overall pick says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd6 Rondell Bothroyd
Rondell Bothroyd at No. 216 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Nice patience on Omar Speights, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 43. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick221 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
No drama and no debate, Daequan Hardy went about where he belonged in the 221st pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
