You can draft well and still miss the point. The Rams did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to wide receiver, which was the need that mattered most.

If Zabel pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
