Draft Grade — Rams
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Rams get a C+.

The Rams torched the value chart for Adepoju Adebawore, taking him 33 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing Lawson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In pick 13 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Deontae Lawson
In the 26th overall pick they get a green-dot type in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick58 Rnd2 David Bailey
The board had cheaper options than David Bailey at No. 58, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90 Rnd3 Adepoju Adebawore
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Adepoju Adebawore well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick142 Rnd5 Kage Casey
A tidy little value on Kage Casey in the 142nd pick, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165 Rnd5 DJ McKinney
They let DJ McKinney come to them and pounced at slot 165. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at Round 6, Pick 22 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick213 Rnd6 Hykeem Williams
A quiet steal in No. 213: Hykeem Williams for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
