The Rams spent the pick that matters most on Cam Ward, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

On value alone, Fairchild makes the weekend a net positive. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
