Draft Grade — Rams
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Rams get a C+.

The Rams bet big and early on Jordan Davis, 145 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

Landing Schrader that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In slot 19 they get a load in the middle, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A tidy little value on Edgerrin Cooper in pick 52, a step better than break-even. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick83 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They read the board right and Sedrick Van Pran was the payoff at the 83rd pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson is a better player than the 99th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
They paid a round early for Marist Liufau in Round 5, Pick 18, more than the board wanted. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick155 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick196 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
They will replay Cody Schrader at Round 6, Pick 21 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They took Logan Lee at par in pick 209, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick213 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All slid further than he should have, and the 213th overall pick is lovely value for the tight end. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jordan Davis
They talked themselves into Jordan Davis at the 217th pick, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick254 Rnd7 Bub Means
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Bub Means for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
