Draft Grade — Rams
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams did enough to get by: C+.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Rams took Kalil Alexander a full 55 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
They liked R Mason Thomas enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 1 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick18 Rnd1 David Bailey
In No. 18 they get a problem off the edge, even if it was a touch early.
Pick49 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby in the 49th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Gabe Jacas
A premium they did not need to pay, Gabe Jacas a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kyle Louis well ahead of where he belonged. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick157 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
No edge and no loss on Tanner Koziol in the 157th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193 Rnd6 Adepoju Adebawore
They reached into another round for Adepoju Adebawore, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kalil Alexander
A real head-scratcher, Kalil Alexander in pick No. 200 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
By-the-book stuff, Desmond Reid at pick 222 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252 Rnd7 Dijon Johnson
They paid a round early for Dijon Johnson in the 252nd overall pick, more than the board wanted. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
