Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Rams: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Rams started one anyway for Miyan Williams, 41 picks ahead of schedule. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Paul.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 19th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 20, where T'Vondre Sweat graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They read the board right and Patrick Paul was the payoff at the 83rd pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at slot 99 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
No edge and no loss on Tykee Smith in pick 154; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
They took Xavier Thomas at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick196 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in No. 196 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick209 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in the 209th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Miyan Williams well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
A premium they did not need to pay, Myles Murphy a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
They paid sticker price for Darius Muasau in slot 254, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
