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

Everything else got attention, and wide receiver got none. That is a strange way for the Rams to leave a draft. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The cost of the Sweat reach is exactly the players who went right after him. On value alone, Logan Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with safety the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick52 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A reach for T'Vondre Sweat in the 52nd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Junior Colson at slot 84 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick157 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They paid sticker price for Kitan Oladapo in the 157th overall pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick158 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in Round 5, Pick 22 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick No. 191 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick214 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kenny Logan Jr. at No. 214. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
No edge and no loss on Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick 216; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
A tidy little value on Darius Muasau in the 218th pick, a step better than break-even. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick221 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy in the 221st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
