Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B+
ValueD NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Rams turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Rams put a flag in the ground for Que Robinson, 94 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The Neal pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick85 Rnd3 Dani Dennis-Sutton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dani Dennis-Sutton well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in pick 88 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick106 Rnd4 Blake Miller
A real head-scratcher, Blake Miller in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They jumped the gun on Rylie Mills, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117 Rnd4 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at the 117th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick118 Rnd4 Donovan Smith
A big swing on Donovan Smith at No. 118, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120 Rnd4 Que Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Que Robinson. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Steal is underselling it; Devin Neal at pick No. 123 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in Round 4, Pick 23 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
