The way the Rams drafted last year hinged entirely on their decision to trade up to take Jared Goff first overall. The move left them with two 4th-round picks and three 6th-rounders to fill out their draft class, so the only real way to grade the Rams success is to grade Jared Goff’s.

However ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. sees Goff’s rookie season for what it was: flawed but also hard to judge.

In his recent re-appraisal of every NFL team’s draft from one year ago, Kiper pointed out that it’s difficult to surmise much from Goff’s unimpressive first season for a few reasons – most notable among them being the fact that he was expected to have trouble adjusting to the pros.
