Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Rams reached some 102 spots for Tyler Harrell, and value like that does not grow back. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with safety, tight end and other spots still on the board.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 19th pick they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the 52nd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
A tidy little value on Andru Phillips in pick 83, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick99 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Solomon at OLB-EDGE with safety, tight end and other spots open.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
They read the board right and Jamari Thrash was the payoff at slot 154. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at No. 155 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in slot 196 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick209 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the 209th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick213 Rnd6 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eyabi Okie-Anoma well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd6 Bub Means
The board had cheaper options than Bub Means at pick 217, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254 Rnd7 Tyler Harrell
A wild overpay on Tyler Harrell in No. 254, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
