Larceny in pick 213 lands the Rams a B-, McGlothern and all.

The Rams spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Dwight McGlothern, the No. 161 name on the board, in pick No. 213.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 19 they get a premier pass rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A straight-up fair deal on Junior Colson at Round 2, Pick 20, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick83 Rnd3 Austin Booker
They did well to land Austin Booker in the 83rd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in pick No. 99 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Circle this one: Javon Foster at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in slot 155 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick196 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cornelius Johnson at No. 196 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the 209th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick213 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Somehow Dwight McGlothern was still sitting there in pick No. 213, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where Jaylan Ford graded well above the range. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick254 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor is a better player than No. 254 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
