Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Rams.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Gabe Hall at Round 5, Pick 18, a reach of 60 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Hardy pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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 Chop Robinson
In the 19th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Max Melton
They jumped the gun on Max Melton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick83 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They paid a round early for Christian Mahogany in pick No. 83, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Value said wait; Cedric Gray in the 100th overall pick says they were not listening. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick153 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at No. 153 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
They left a pile of value on the table to take Daijun Edwards this early at pick 177. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick191 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
They let Johnny Dixon come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 16. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Evan Williams
A wild overpay on Evan Williams in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at No. 217 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick218 Rnd6 Daequan Hardy
They robbed the room for Daequan Hardy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
