Draft Grade — Rams
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Rams and Nussmeier: D.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Rams did exactly that with Phillip Webb in slot 181. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

On value alone, Nussmeier makes the weekend a net positive. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in slot 46 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in No. 69 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick100 Rnd3 Garrett Nussmeier
Steal is underselling it; Garrett Nussmeier at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick107 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the safety. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Lander Barton
The board fumbled Lander Barton all the way to slot 116, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick181 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
A big swing on Phillip Webb at pick 181, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
They will replay Donovan Edwards at pick No. 204 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick205 Rnd6 Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson at the 205th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
