Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Rams and Ransom: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Lathan Ransom, No. 201, roughly 93 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Thomas pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

The Cornelius reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
They went early on Jalen Royals in the 60th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
They robbed the room for Colston Loveland here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ajani Cornelius. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick101 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
The board had Danny Stutsman higher than No. 101, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick122 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Azareye'h Thomas, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick192 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at the 192nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to slot 195, and they scooped it up. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Circle this one: Lathan Ransom at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
