Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams robbed the room for Hopper. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ty'Ron Hopper had no business being available in pick No. 254, and the Rams did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 19th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Nice patience on Keon Coleman, who had no business lasting to pick No. 52. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Circle this one: Braden Fiske at Round 3, Pick 19 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cam Hart
By-the-book stuff, Cam Hart at the 99th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick154 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at slot 154 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick155 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in pick 155 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick196 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl in No. 209 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
The board had Kendall Milton higher than the 213th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tanor Bortolini reach pick No. 217 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Ty'Ron Hopper
They barely believed it either: Ty'Ron Hopper still on the board at No. 254. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
