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

The Rams did not so much draft Evan Williams as overpay for him, 88 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Bishop pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 19th pick they get protection for the quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick83 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe is a better player than the 83rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Circle this one: Mike Sainristil at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick153 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in Round 5, Pick 17 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in slot 154 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in No. 177 is fair value, right on his grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick191 Rnd6 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at the 191st overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in pick 212 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
A conviction pick on Sam Hartman at Round 6, Pick 42 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick218 Rnd6 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at the 218th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
