Draft Grade — Rams
Overall D-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureC
Maye is the Rams' new face under center. Grade: D-.

Somebody took the Rams to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

So much rides on Drake Maye that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Corley falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 6th overall pick they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick19 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 19th pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at pick 27 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick52 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Fair-plus on T.J. Tampa, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick100 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
You do not let a wide receiver like Malachi Corley reach Round 3, Pick 37 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
The board had Tyler Davis higher than the Round 4 slot, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Beau Brade slipping to No. 153 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They took Mason McCormick at par in pick No. 154, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Taking Cody Schrader in pick 177 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick191 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
They robbed the room for Luke McCaffrey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They let Jaylan Ford come to them and pounced at the 212th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick217 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
A reasonable price with a little left over, Julian Pearl in slot 217. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick218 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
By-the-book stuff, Tanor Bortolini at No. 218 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
