Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
The Rams did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Rams bet big and early on Eyabi Okie-Anoma, 31 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Flournoy at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a premier pass rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in the 52nd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A reach on Brenden Rice in the 83rd pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick 98 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick99 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
They reached into another round for Blake Fisher, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
They went early on Marist Liufau in slot 154, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick155 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
No drama and no debate, Isaiah Davis went about where he belonged in slot 155. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick196 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They reached a country mile for Gabe Hall at Round 6, Pick 21, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick209 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
A clean, defensible pick in the 209th overall pick with a little surplus value in Julian Pearl. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in No. 213 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick217 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy in pick 217 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick254 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Value said wait; Eyabi Okie-Anoma in the 254th pick says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
