Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Rams for Hadden: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kamal Hadden got past him. The Rams do not have to explain a thing at the 217th overall pick. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Reaching for Orhorhoro left real value on the table behind him. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 19th overall pick they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at slot 52 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Nice patience on Patrick Paul, who had no business lasting to pick 83. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Steal is underselling it; Ja'Lynn Polk at No. 99 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
A straight-up fair deal on Dwight McGlothern at the 155th pick, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick196 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Somehow Cody Schrader was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 21, and they pounced on premier running back value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 209, where Delmar Glaze graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick213 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers is a better player than pick 213 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick217 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They robbed the room for Kamal Hadden here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick254 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Josh Proctor at pick No. 254 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
