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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Rams took Keith Randolph Jr. at Round 6, Pick 21, roughly 22 spots before his name belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Jones falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 24th pick they get a disruptor off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They paid a round early for Ruke Orhorhoro in Round 2, Pick 20, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in No. 83 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick87 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They went early on Brenden Rice in the 87th overall pick, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at pick 99 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
A quiet steal in pick No. 154: Jarrian Jones for less than the market said. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
By-the-book stuff, Tykee Smith at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick196 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at pick No. 196 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick209 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Garret Greenfield. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Julian Pearl at the 213th overall pick is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy at pick 217 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick254 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
They talked themselves into Daequan Hardy at Round 7, Pick 34, and the board did not agree. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
