Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Rams and Hart: B-.

The Rams spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cam Hart, the No. 172 name on the board, in slot 218. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If Tagovailoa pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Spending an early pick on DT-EDGE with safety, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In slot 13 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton at pick No. 45 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A surprising call. With safety, running back and other spots still to address, they spent the 77th pick on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
A tidy little value on Jack Nelson in pick 150, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in Round 5, Pick 24 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick194 Rnd6 Ben Bywater
They took Ben Bywater at par in No. 194, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick214 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, Isaiah Williams a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick218 Rnd6 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick 218 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick221 Rnd7 Storm Duck
No drama and no debate, Storm Duck went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
