Draft Grade — Rams
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureC+
The Rams lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The phones were a trap the Rams kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Every board in the league had Harris lower, and that gap is the story.

Speights at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In No. 18 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick20 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 20th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick47 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A straight-up fair deal on J.J. McCarthy at pick 47, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick52 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at slot 52 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Blake Corum at the Round 3 slot is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at the 87th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick191 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in Round 6, Pick 16 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick214 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights is a better player than pick No. 214 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick216 Rnd6 Myles Jones
The board had Myles Jones higher than the 216th pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick218 Rnd6 Marcus Harris
They liked Marcus Harris enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 43. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick221 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
A quiet steal in slot 221: Sheridan Jones for less than the market said. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Mark Perry
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mark Perry in the Round 7 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
