Draft Grade — Rams
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Rams won the night they stopped Oladapo from sliding. Grade: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Rams fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Spending an early pick on DT-EDGE with wide receiver, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. However the rest shakes out, Oladapo at that price is a win they earned.

In the end it comes back to Mike Sainristil, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the 84th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick93 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with wide receiver, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick137 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 137 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick157 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
The board had Nehemiah Pritchett higher than the Round 5 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at Round 5, Pick 22 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ty'Ron Hopper in pick 165. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick191 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
You do not let a safety like Kitan Oladapo reach pick No. 191 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in Round 6, Pick 22 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Nice patience on Josh Proctor, who had no business lasting to No. 216. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim is a better player than slot 218 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick221 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
They read the board right and JD Bertrand was the payoff at pick 221. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
