Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams let Fautanu fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Troy Fautanu had no business being available in pick No. 99, and the Rams did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Every board in the league had Bortolini lower, and that gap is the story. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at the 19th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at slot 52 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinyon Mitchell
You do not let a cornerback like Quinyon Mitchell reach pick No. 83 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick99 Rnd3 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at pick 99 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in No. 154 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A wild overpay on Tanor Bortolini in Round 5, Pick 19, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A big swing on Gabe Hall at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton in the 209th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick213 Rnd6 Bub Means
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Bub Means well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
They took Keith Randolph Jr. at par in slot 217, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick254 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Edefuan Ulofoshio in pick No. 254, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
