Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Rams let Hill Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

When a board-topper like Anthony Hill Jr. slides to the 61st overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Rams did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the 29th pick they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot.
Pick40 Rnd2 Peter Woods
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Peter Woods at Round 2, Pick 8 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick61 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at No. 61 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick74 Rnd3 Gennings Dunker
They robbed the room for Gennings Dunker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Michael Taaffe in slot 93, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick210 Rnd6 Cole Payton
Cole Payton is a better player than pick No. 210 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Chase Roberts
Nice patience on Chase Roberts, who had no business lasting to the 232nd overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
A tidy bit of business in the Round 7 slot, where Miles Kitselman graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick251 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon at No. 251 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick252 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings slid further than he should have, and the 252nd overall pick is lovely value for the safety. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
