While the Los Angeles Rams are adept at finding contributors in the later rounds of the NFL Draft, one position where they seem to have a preference for acquiring proven veterans is edge defender.
The Rams traded for Dante Fowler in 2018, who was a top draft choice for the Jacksonville Jaguars. When Fowler left for the Atlanta Falcons in free agency, LA turned to the recently released Leonard Floyd. Floyd has been a key part of the Rams defense over the last couple of seasons - and trading for Von Miller in 2021 put the Los Angeles defense over the top.
