Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Rams and McGlothern: B-.

The Rams did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dwight McGlothern fell into No. 196.

The Bortolini pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick No. 19 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
No drama and no debate, Adisa Isaac went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
A big swing on Mekhi Wingo at No. 83, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 99 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the 154th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at Round 5, Pick 19 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in slot 196 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick209 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Fair-plus on Julian Pearl, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213 Rnd6 Bub Means
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bub Means. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where Kendall Milton graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
They barely believed it either: Dominique Hampton still on the board at pick No. 254. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
