Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Rams: B-.

The Rams put a flag in the ground for Marcus Yarns, 61 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Charles Grant
No edge and no loss on Charles Grant in the 90th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Chris Paul Jr. at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick127 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A premium they did not need to pay, Hollin Pierce a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod in pick 190 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Clay Webb
They took Clay Webb at par in pick No. 195, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick201 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Nothing to complain about; Oronde Gadsden II went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns in pick 202 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
