The Los Angeles Rams came into the 2021 NFL draft with six picks in their pocket. Thanks to three total trades on Friday and Saturday, they made seven picks alone on the final day of the draft.
Their selections on Saturday ranged from wide receivers to defensive linemen, but not a single offensive lineman was drafted by Los Angeles. A puzzling development, no doubt, but one that Sean McVay explained after the draft concluded.
It’s hard to gauge how successful a draft class will be until two or three years out, but it’s never too early to hand out grades for each pick. We graded all nine of the Rams’ selections on Day 3, from Bobby Brown III to Chris Garrett.
Overall, it was a day filled with surprises, but one that looks better on paper than the Rams’ second- and third-round picks. You can find my Day 2 grades here, but let’s get into the team’s seven selections on Saturday.
