Draft Grade — Rams
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Rams lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story.

The Rams spent real capital to be 39 picks early on Ty Hamilton, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Bassa pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at safety, quarterback and other spots. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Riley falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, safety very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 1 slot with a little surplus value in Emeka Egbuka. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at the 70th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick90 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 26 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
They went early on Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 100, and the value did not follow. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Jeffrey Bassa in slot 126 leaves safety, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick192 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
They let Ollie Gordon II come to them and pounced at No. 192. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
They reached a country mile for Ty Hamilton at the 203rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at pick No. 204 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
