The Los Angeles Rams had a very productive draft, including getting an additional 2026 first-round pick. How did other analysts see the Rams' draft? Here's a look at draft grades from around the NFL media world.
Charles McDonald and Nate Tice, Yahoo Sports: A
"Picking up the Falcons' 2026 first-round pick for this year's 26th overall pick makes this an A by itself. Getting Terrance Ferguson in the second round was a nice way to kick off the draft with a quality starter who has the upside to be a weapon at tight end for Matthew Stafford this season. The Rams added some good depth on the edge of their defense with Josaiah Stewart, who should fit in cleanly with their other young edge rushers. Overall, it was a really different approach for the Rams in the draft this year that gives them a lot of firepower in terms of draft capital for the 2026 NFL Draft."
Rob Rang, Fox Sports: C
"Tight end Terrance Ferguson is a good player, but I was shocked to see him come off the board at No. 46 overall, and I feel similarly about running back Jarquez Hunter roughly two rounds later. I do like the physicality of edge rusher Josiah Stewart and the dependability of defensive tackle Ty Hamilton. Chris Paul Jr. was viewed as too small to be an effective inside linebacker in the NFL — but the same was once said about Ernest Jones IV."
Kristopher Knox, Bleacher Report: B+
"During L.A.'s first-round drought, the front office became exceptional at finding high-level contributors on Days 2 and 3. The Rams likely felt they'd be getting a second-round talent at No. 26 anyway, so they essentially flipped a third-round pick for a future first. The Rams made their first selection of 2025 in Round 2, grabbing Oregon tight end Terrance Ferguson. He should provide valuable depth behind Tyler Higbee and should contribute right away as a rotational player. He has developmental upside as a blocker and contested-catch target," Dame Parson of the B/R Scouting Department wrote."
