The Los Angeles Rams ended up having nine selections in the 2020 NFL Draft this past weekend. Here are their letter grades for each pick.

After a disappointing 2019 season, the Los Angeles Rams used their offseason to conduct a bit of a rebuild on both sides of the football. They released former All-Pro running back Todd Gurley, traded Brandin Cooks, and let some major contributors like Nickell Robey-Coleman, Dante Fowler Jr. and Clay Mathews test the free agency market.

With all of those losses, the Rams needed to land some instant difference-makers in the 2020 NFL Draft if they were going to be competitive next season and fortunately for LA fans, they were able to collect some solid talent, while adding extra picks in the process.

The Los Angeles Rams came into draft weekend with just 11 picks between the 2020 and 2021 NFL Drafts, so it was important to find an opportunity to move back this weekend and potentially nab extra draft capital. When the fourth-round rolled around they were able to do just that as they traded the 126th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft to the Houston Texans for picks 136, 248, and 250.

This trade gave the Rams 9 total picks to play with this past weekend, and considering they didn’t have a first-rounder after the Jalen Ramsey trade last season, they were still able to find good value with their selections. Here are the Los Angeles Rams pick-by-pick 2020 NFL Draft grades.
