Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Rams.

The Rams went off the board in a big way for Diego Pavia, 37 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting Dixon where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In slot 13 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick29 Rnd1 Chris Bell
In the 29th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor in pick No. 61 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Genesis Smith
They paid sticker price for Genesis Smith in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Diego Pavia
They left a pile of value on the table to take Diego Pavia this early at the 167th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
Value with a capital V on Thaddeus Dixon in No. 205, a genuine coup. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick208 Rnd6 Barion Brown
A premium they did not need to pay, Barion Brown a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick232 Rnd7 Roderick Kearney
A conviction pick on Roderick Kearney at Round 7, Pick 16 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tosh Baker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tosh Baker. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall in No. 256 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
