Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Rams.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Rams took George Holani at No. 217, roughly 96 spots before his name belonged.

That Sainristil pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 19th overall pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in pick 52 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
A safety of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 19 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Circle this one: Mike Sainristil at the 99th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick154 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
They robbed the room for Sataoa Laumea here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick196 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A tidy little value on Tahj Washington in pick 196, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Drake Nugent. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Value with a capital V on Jaylan Ford in the 213th overall pick, a genuine coup. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick217 Rnd6 George Holani
Value said wait; George Holani in slot 217 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at pick No. 254 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
