Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Rams robbed the room for Cooper. Final grade: B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Edgerrin Cooper tumbling to the Rams in No. 83 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value.
Pick52 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Somehow Cooper DeJean was still sitting there in slot 52, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick83 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
They barely believed it either: Edgerrin Cooper still on the board at pick 83. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick99 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Steal is underselling it; Devontez Walker at pick No. 99 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mason McCormick at the 154th pick is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Michael Pratt
They read the board right and Michael Pratt was the payoff at No. 155. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 Brandon Coleman
They let Brandon Coleman come to them and pounced at the 196th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
You do not let a running back like Daijun Edwards reach Round 6, Pick 34 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at Round 6, Pick 38 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick217 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
A tidy little value on Drake Nugent in pick 217, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton in pick No. 254 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
