Draft Grade — Rams
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Rams this weekend: D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Rams, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Burke.

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

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 18th overall pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Denzel Burke in the Round 2 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick50 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
They let Landon Jackson come to them and pounced at pick 50. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Rod Moore at the 66th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at pick No. 82 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick114 Rnd4 Donovan Smith
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Smith at slot 114 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178 Rnd6 Zach Rice
Zach Rice in No. 178 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
No drama and no debate, Akheem Mesidor went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 21. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
