Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Rams, and a B- to prove it.

The rest of the league had time to spare on LaDarius Henderson; the Rams did not wait, grabbing him 43 spots ahead at the 209th pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick No. 19 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They paid sticker price for Kris Jenkins in the 52nd overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick 83 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 36. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick154 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ty'Ron Hopper this early at slot 155. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick196 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A big swing on Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, LaDarius Henderson well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
They read the board right and Julian Pearl was the payoff at the 213th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton is a better player than the 217th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick254 Rnd7 Bub Means
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bub Means at slot 254. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
