Draft Grade — Rams
Overall
B+

NeedB
TradesA-
FutureB+
The Rams bet the future on Nix. The board says B+. The war room fell hard for Korey Foreman, and it showed at the 236th pick: 68 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.
Bo Nix gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Thrash. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a long-term answer under center, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick69
Rnd3
Nate Wiggins
Somehow Nate Wiggins was still sitting there in No. 69, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick76
Rnd3
Javon Foster
Steal is underselling it; Javon Foster at slot 76 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114
Rnd4
Shemar Turner
Value said wait; Shemar Turner in the 114th pick says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick160
Rnd5
Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the 160th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164
Rnd5
J. Michael Sturdivant
They will replay J. Michael Sturdivant at pick No. 164 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193
Rnd6
Jake Briningstool
They liked Jake Briningstool enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214
Rnd6
Willie Roberts
Nothing to complain about; Willie Roberts went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick216
Rnd6
Jo'Quavious Marks
A running back of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 41 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick218
Rnd6
Jamari Thrash
Circle this one: Jamari Thrash at pick No. 218 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick221
Rnd7
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs slid further than he should have, and pick 221 is lovely value for the linebacker. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick236
Rnd7
Korey Foreman
A wild overpay on Korey Foreman in No. 236, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick244
Rnd7
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in the 244th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248
Rnd7
Marques Cox
Marques Cox in slot 248 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
