Draft Grade — Rams
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Rams: C+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Rams reached some 48 spots for David Bailey, and value like that does not grow back. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The Weigman value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Hit on Mikail Kamara and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mikail Kamara
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 David Bailey
In slot 26 they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick58 Rnd2 Caleb Lomu
By-the-book stuff, Caleb Lomu at No. 58 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks in the 90th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick142 Rnd5 Braylan Shelby
They reached into another round for Braylan Shelby, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165 Rnd5 Dane Key
They did well to land Dane Key in the 165th pick, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Trey Moore
Trey Moore in the 198th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick213 Rnd6 Conner Weigman
Conner Weigman at No. 213 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
