Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams cashed the board's mistake on Smith: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Brashard Smith, pick 203, roughly 89 picks past where he belonged.

Pierce has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 26 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in pick No. 90 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick100 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
A reach on Hollin Pierce in Round 3, Pick 36; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Taking Jaylin Noel in the 126th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick203 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
The board fumbled Brashard Smith all the way to slot 203, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Hancock at pick 204, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
