Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureA-
The Rams bet the future on Nussmeier. The board says B.

The search is over. The Rams handed the keys to Garrett Nussmeier, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

Slaughter at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

Every board in the league had Payton lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Garrett Nussmeier
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value.
Pick27 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In No. 27 they get an enforcer at safety, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Somehow Jake Slaughter was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Will Lee III
Value with a capital V on Will Lee III in pick No. 90, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Taking Domani Jackson in pick 144 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick165 Rnd5 Justin Joly
They robbed the room for Justin Joly here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177 Rnd6 Eric Rivers
They barely believed it either: Eric Rivers still on the board at the 177th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick198 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
They paid a round early for Patrick Payton in the 198th pick, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick213 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at pick 213 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
