Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Mendoza is the Rams' new face under center. Grade: B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Fernando Mendoza is the Rams' quarterback, full stop.

Reaching for Washington II left real value on the table behind him. However the rest shakes out, Campbell at that price is a win they earned.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 17th pick they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick22 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In slot 22 they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor slid further than he should have, and pick 53 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick84 Rnd3 Whit Weeks
They went early on Whit Weeks in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick143 Rnd5 Boubacar Traore
Boubacar Traore at Round 5, Pick 2 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick165 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Nothing to complain about; Max Iheanachor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick191 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
They barely believed it either: CJ Daniels still on the board at the 191st overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaren Kanak
They paid sticker price for Jaren Kanak in No. 203, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Elliot Washington II
They left a pile of value on the table to take Elliot Washington II this early at the 219th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick250 Rnd7 Amare Campbell
Amare Campbell in No. 250 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
