State of the Franchise: Ascending

Teamming DT Nick Fairley up with Chris Long, Robert Quinn and Aaron Donald gives the St. Louis Rams a shut-down defense. Nothing goes better with a good defense than a good running game, which they addressed in the first three rounds. And nothing goes better with a running game than a quarterback that can go deep.
