The goal of the NFL Draft for the Los Angeles Rams became very clear, very quickly. With five of the team’s first six picks, including three of their four picks in the top-100 coming on defense, the goal was obvious. The Rams were rebuilding their defense.
That has really been the goal throughout the entire offseason. Defensive coordinator Raheem Morris left to be the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. That left them to hire Chris Shula internally. Aaron Donald also retired which leaves a huge void. In free agency, the Rams signed two starting level cornerbacks in Tre White in Darious Williams.
