Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Rams let Torrence fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The Rams did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Ro Torrence fell into pick 254.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The Byron Murphy Jr. pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Adisa Isaac at pick No. 63. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
They will replay Kamren Kinchens at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at slot 94 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brenden Rice in the 99th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Good price on Audric Estime in the 108th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Somehow Caelen Carson was still sitting there in pick 129, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick133 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in No. 133 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They did well to land Luke McCaffrey in pick 154, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at the 155th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick196 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
Steal is underselling it; Grayson Murphy at slot 196 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 209 is the definition of value, full stop. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick213 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
They barely believed it either: Anthony Gould still on the board at pick No. 213. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Fabien Lovett reach Round 7, Pick 10 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick232 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the 232nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick254 Rnd7 Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
