Draft Grade — Rams
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Rams landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The Rams torched the value chart for Taulia Tagovailoa, taking him 167 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In No. 23 they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kalen King
They did well to land Kalen King in Round 2, Pick 23, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick87 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
A straight-up fair deal on Nazir Stackhouse at the 87th pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They took Jaylan Ford at par in the 155th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick160 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They reached a country mile for Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick192 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They jumped the gun on Curtis Jacobs, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick214 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Williams. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa in pick No. 218 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jordan Jefferson
They reached into another round for Jordan Jefferson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
