Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 254: the Rams steal Laube and grade out a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Dylan Laube had no business being available in the 254th pick, and the Rams did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Reed pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The James pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at safety and interior defensive lineman. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 19 they get a disruptor off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in the 52nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick83 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 83 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 DJ James
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, DJ James adds a cornerback and leaves safety and interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick154 Rnd5 James Williams
They robbed the room for James Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick155 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
A clean, defensible pick in the 155th pick with a little surplus value in Dallin Holker. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick196 Rnd6 Austin Reed
Austin Reed at pick 196 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze at No. 209 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick213 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in pick 213 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They barely believed it either: Kamal Hadden still on the board at the Round 6 slot. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick254 Rnd7 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at the 254th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
