Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Rams: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Jaden Shirden at Round 7, Pick 34 will need to, sitting 29 spots clear of his grade.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Flournoy at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 19 they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They did well to land Edgerrin Cooper in No. 52, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick83 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Hall Jr.. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cam Hart
They took Cam Hart at par in the 99th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick154 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
A conviction pick on Marist Liufau at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick155 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in the 155th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick196 Rnd6 Myles Cole
Myles Cole in slot 196 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213 Rnd6 Evan Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Evan Williams at pick 213, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
A quiet steal in the 217th pick: Ryan Flournoy for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jaden Shirden
They reached a country mile for Jaden Shirden at pick No. 254, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
