Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Rams: B-.

The Rams bet big and early on Devin Leary, 27 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

It is not that Melton is a bad player; it is that the Rams had louder needs to answer first. The Melton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in No. 54 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in the 93rd pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Max Melton
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Max Melton adds a cornerback and leaves running back and interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick159 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at pick No. 159 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in Round 5, Pick 24 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick191 Rnd6 Trey Knox
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trey Knox in pick No. 191. It fills a real need, too.
Pick214 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 39, with Curtis Jacobs worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick216 Rnd6 BJ Mayes
BJ Mayes in the 216th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick221 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Omar Speights at No. 221. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick238 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Good price on Fentrell Cypress II in the 238th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Devin Leary
They left a pile of value on the table to take Devin Leary this early at pick 254. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
