Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the 90th pick: the Rams steal Leavitt and grade out a B+.

The Rams spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Sam Leavitt, the No. 36 name on the board, in No. 90. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Adding Micah Parsons by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In pick No. 13 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at fair value.
Pick58 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Taking Dillon Thieneman in No. 58 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Sam Leavitt
A quarterback of that caliber at the 90th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick142 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
By-the-book stuff, Earnest Greene III at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Cameron Calhoun
Cameron Calhoun in slot 165 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick198 Rnd6 Smith Snowden
No drama and no debate, Smith Snowden went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 22. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
They did well to land Fernando Carmona in pick 213, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
