Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Rams treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 6 slot on Richard Jibunor a full 132 spots early. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Rams indulged a want in Solomon while a need in offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots stayed open. For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Good price on Calen Bullock in pick 51, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick83 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Roman Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
A want over a need in pick No. 100: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick153 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
They did well to land Dylan Laube in the 153rd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
They paid sticker price for Keith Randolph Jr. in slot 154, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at pick No. 177 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A big swing on Gabe Hall at Round 6, Pick 16, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick212 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Xavier Thomas well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd6 Richard Jibunor
They reached a country mile for Richard Jibunor at the 217th pick, and the board is aghast. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick218 Rnd6 Blake Watson
They paid up for Blake Watson at No. 218 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
