Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 192: the Rams steal Sanders and grade out a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Raheim Sanders had no business being available in the 192nd overall pick, and the Rams did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Noel lower, and that gap is the story.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
Good price on Jalon Walker in slot 26, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
They paid a round early for Jaylin Noel in pick 90, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
Nice patience on Sebastian Castro, who had no business lasting to the 100th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
A quarterback of that caliber at pick No. 126 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Somehow Raheim Sanders was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 14, and they pounced on premier running back value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Circle this one: Jack Nelson at No. 203 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike at the 204th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
