Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams let Jones fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Rams spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Elijah Jones, the No. 116 name on the board, in the 155th overall pick.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Gray reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 19 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick83 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at slot 83 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in No. 99 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick154 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Taking Johnny Wilson in pick 154 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Elijah Jones
Circle this one: Elijah Jones at the 155th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick196 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
The board fumbled Tykee Smith all the way to Round 6, Pick 21, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
The board had Curtis Jacobs higher than the 209th pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick213 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
They paid sticker price for Caedan Wallace in slot 213, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
They robbed the room for Jase McClellan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick254 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 254 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
