Draft Grade — Rams
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Rams cashed the board's mistake on Restrepo: D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Rams did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with running back still on the board. That Restrepo pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick54 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in the 54th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers at Round 3, Pick 8 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with running back open.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid sticker price for Tommy Eichenberg in the 111th pick, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick147 Rnd5 James Williams
A top-tier safety at a bargain, James Williams in pick 147, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in pick No. 159 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick160 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick187 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A tidy little value on Christian Jones in slot 187, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick191 Rnd6 Trey Knox
A clean, defensible pick in the 191st overall pick with a little surplus value in Trey Knox. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick214 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
You do not let a linebacker like Darius Muasau reach the 214th pick and blink. They did not. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick216 Rnd6 BJ Mayes
They took BJ Mayes at par in Round 6, Pick 41, which is nothing to complain about. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick218 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
A straight-up fair deal on Steele Chambers at No. 218, value and slot in agreement. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick221 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
They read the board right and Isaiah Neyor was the payoff at pick 221. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick255 Rnd7 Evan Williams
They let Evan Williams come to them and pounced at the 255th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in the 256th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
