The Los Angeles Rams are strategically preparing for the upcoming NFL Draft, focusing on enhancing their edge defense. Since Sean McVay became head coach in 2017, the Rams have utilized a 3-4 defensive scheme but have recently adapted under defensive coordinators Raheem Morris and Mike Shula to incorporate more four-down fronts. This shift comes as the Rams have historically relied on veteran players for their edge positions, but recent draft selections like Jared Verse, who has recorded 12 sacks in two seasons, indicate a new direction. The Rams have drafted several edge players in recent years, including Byron Young, Nick Hampton, and Ochaun Mathis. As they approach the draft, they are considering high-tier prospects like David Bailey from Texas Tech and others from a solid edge class. The team is weighing whether to invest in a top-tier edge player or seek developmental talent later in the draft, with the aim of strengthening their defensive lineup for the upcoming season.
