Draft Grade — Rams
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Rams: C+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Antwaun Powell-Ryland, 33 picks early at pick 218. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hartman.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Josh Newton
They paid sticker price for Josh Newton in pick 54, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick90 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
No edge and no loss on Tykee Smith in pick No. 90; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving is a better player than No. 103 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at Round 5, Pick 23 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They read the board right and Jaylan Ford was the payoff at the 160th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick191 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Value with a capital V on Sam Hartman in slot 191, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick210 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at the 210th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick214 Rnd6 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones at pick 214 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick216 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They paid a round early for Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick No. 216, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick218 Rnd6 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Antwaun Powell-Ryland well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick221 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
Maurice Smith in Round 7, Pick 1 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
