Draft Grade — Rams
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA FutureB-
The Rams let Mustapha fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Malik Mustapha at the 199th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. They are betting Prieskorn proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in pick No. 55 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick77 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Value with a capital V on Sedrick Van Pran in No. 77, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in slot 88, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A tidy bit of business in the 150th pick, where Jamon Dumas-Johnson graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson slid further than he should have, and the 160th overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick194 Rnd6 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard slipping to pick 194 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick199 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at Round 6, Pick 24 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Nice patience on Jaylan Ford, who had no business lasting to the Round 6 slot. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick214 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy in Round 6, Pick 39 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ben Bywater
Ben Bywater at the 216th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick218 Rnd6 Caden Prieskorn
They paid a round early for Caden Prieskorn in slot 218, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick221 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Omar Speights in the 221st pick is fair value, right on his grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
