Draft Grade — Rams
Overall C
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureC-
The Rams got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C.

The Rams lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It nets out a thoroughly average C.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. If Johnson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Paul pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

If Dallas Turner and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 19th pick they get a premier pass rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Fair-plus on T'Vondre Sweat, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick54 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Nothing to complain about; T.J. Tampa went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick83 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 19: Patrick Paul for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Good price on Brenden Rice in No. 100, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick153 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
They liked Dillon Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 153. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Kalen King
The board had Kalen King higher than the 154th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
