Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureB+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Rams: B-.

The tape said wait; the Rams did not. Jontrey Hunter went at pick 218, a good 45 picks before the board was ready.

That Wiggins pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins at the 53rd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick85 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in the 85th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kedon Slovis
A tidy little value on Kedon Slovis in pick No. 153, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Nothing to complain about; Jonah Monheim went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in No. 192 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Ricky Pearsall
Nice patience on Ricky Pearsall, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 39. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218 Rnd6 Jontrey Hunter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jontrey Hunter well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick221 Rnd7 Brian Ugwu
Brian Ugwu at pick 221 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick234 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the 234th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Benjamin Yurosek
Benjamin Yurosek at slot 238 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253 Rnd7 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in pick No. 253 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
