Team Needs

Linebacker

The Los Angeles Rams lost a key playmaker in linebacker Cory Littleton, who decided to sign a four-year deal to the Las Vegas Raiders. The Rams have Kenny Young, Micah Kiser, and Travin Howard all fighting for a starting spot on defense. If the Rams can draft a premiere linebacker that has proven that he can do everything himself, he should make that a priority.

Edge Rusher

The Los Angeles Rams only had two players last season that had double-digit sacks. Aaron Donald, no surprise there and Dante Fowler that has left in free agency. Clay Matthews was next in that sack category. With two of three of their sack leaders gone, they need to get a player that can wrap up the sacks on the edge. The Rams signed Leonard Floyd this offseason that could help fill a little bit of that void but they need to get a player that can get to the quarterback on the outside.

Offensive Tackle

The Los Angeles Rams interior part of their offensive line is pretty much good with Austin Corbett, Austin Blythe, Brian Allen, Joseph Noteboom, and David Edwards. The Rams might need to prioritize getting an offensive tackle in the draft to sit behind 38-year old Andrew Whitworth. Whitworth was contemplating retirement this offseason, getting his successor in this draft could be very important.
