FutureC
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a D-, for the Rams. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Rams spent slot 218 on Joshua Cephus, a name the board had a full 36 spots lower.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Whatever Jayden Daniels becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.
That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, running back very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick15
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the 15th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They read the board right and Payton Wilson was the payoff at the 52nd overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick83
Rnd3
DJ James
No drama and no debate, DJ James went about where he belonged in pick 83. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126
Rnd4
James Williams
James Williams at No. 126 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson in slot 153 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick154
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
No edge and no loss on Mason McCormick in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at Round 6, Pick 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jarrian Jones
Circle this one: Jarrian Jones at pick 191 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick212
Rnd6
Eric Watts
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Eric Watts at No. 212. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217
Rnd6
Austin Reed
A reach on Austin Reed in the 217th pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218
Rnd6
Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at pick No. 218 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
