Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Rams to leave a draft. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Gray pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in slot 52 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in pick No. 83 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
They paid a round early for Cedric Gray in No. 99, more than the board wanted. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick154 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Fair-plus on Luke McCaffrey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brennan Jackson. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick196 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
A straight-up fair deal on Kendall Milton at pick 196, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick209 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
They did well to land Julian Pearl in the 209th pick, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick213 Rnd6 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at No. 213 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd6 Trey Knox
No edge and no loss on Trey Knox in pick 217; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
By-the-book stuff, Darius Muasau at the 254th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
