Grading the Rams’ draft

Chris Paul Jr. linebacker

Los Angeles Rams

Grade: D+

Best Pick: LB Chris Paul Jr., No. 172 Overall

What We Liked: Really great pick for Paul, who projects as an early starter and is adept in pass coverage. That’s an absolute steal deep into day three. Jarquez Hunter profiles as lightning to Kyren Williams’ rumbling thunder. Coach Sean McVay clearly has a vision for his scheme that involves getting highly productive college players and letting them do reprise their success from the NCAA level. McVay is sticking to his guns.

Not Sure About: Tight end Terrance Ferguson (No. 46) and edge Josaiah Stewart (90) didn’t make for an inspiring day two haul. I felt Stewart could reasonably have gone undrafted after a heinously bad 40-yard dash, considering his size combined with his limited length. The college pressure rates are good, but you have to think about his comparison to NFL competition. And I just never saw any game-wrecking moments or any sections of Ferguson’s tape that popped out to me. He really seemed like an ordinary tight end, which isn’t how you want to start your draft.
