Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Rams: B.

The Rams spent real capital to be 63 picks early on Evan Anderson, and the board is going to hold them to it. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Landing Wilson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 19th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
They will replay Kool-Aid McKinstry at slot 52 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick83 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in pick 99 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick154 Rnd5 Bucky Irving
You do not let a running back like Bucky Irving reach Round 5, Pick 18 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155 Rnd5 Brenden Rice
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 155 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Decamerion Richardson
They robbed the room for Decamerion Richardson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Evan Anderson
Value said wait; Evan Anderson in the 209th overall pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
The board fumbled Dwight McGlothern all the way to the 217th pick, and they scooped it up. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick254 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Circle this one: Garret Greenfield at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
