Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams let Knight Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Rams did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Demetrius Knight Jr. fell into Round 3, Pick 37. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Rourke proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a mismatch in the passing game, and a steal at that.
Pick90 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A tidy little value on Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 90, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Somehow Demetrius Knight Jr. was still sitting there in the 101st overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kurtis Rourke
They paid a round early for Kurtis Rourke in Round 4, Pick 25, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in pick 190 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Taking Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 195 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 201st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick202 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Steal is underselling it; Cobee Bryant at slot 202 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
