Draft Grade — Rams
Overall D-
ValueF NeedB TradesF FutureD-
The Rams bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The Rams looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Ben Bywater at the 142nd pick regardless, 239 picks early. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. However the rest shakes out, Sanders at that price is a win they earned.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Xavier Restrepo
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts slipping to the 56th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They paid a round early for Tate Ratledge in pick No. 62, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
A reach for Barrett Carter in pick 69; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90 Rnd3 Elijah Roberts
They talked themselves into Elijah Roberts at Round 3, Pick 26, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at No. 100 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tyler Batty
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Batty this early at No. 102. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams at pick 105 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick108 Rnd4 Donovan Smith
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Smith in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ben Bywater
Ben Bywater at the 142nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick171 Rnd5 Isaac TeSlaa
A big swing on Isaac TeSlaa at pick No. 171, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Chimere Dike
They reached into another round for Chimere Dike, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at Round 5, Pick 36 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179 Rnd6 Joshua Simon
A wild overpay on Joshua Simon in slot 179, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at Round 6, Pick 2 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Travis. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick192 Rnd6 MJ Sherman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, MJ Sherman well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick203 Rnd6 Aidan Keanaaina
Aidan Keanaaina at the 203rd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Taking Raheim Sanders in pick No. 204 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick208 Rnd6 John Emery Jr.
John Emery Jr. in the 208th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Tyler Loop
Tyler Loop in slot 219 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jeremy Crawshaw
Jeremy Crawshaw in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Cal Haladay
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cal Haladay in Round 7, Pick 9, miles early. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick232 Rnd7 Isas Waxter
They reached a country mile for Isas Waxter at pick 232, and the board is aghast. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Value said wait; Jimmy Horn Jr. in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at No. 249 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Caleb Rogers
They reached into another round for Caleb Rogers, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 Isheem Young
Isheem Young in the 256th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
