Rams trade back, bolster the defense in new 2-round mock draft (RamsWire)
“The Rams defense looks borderline unrecognizable heading into the 2023 NFL draft compared to the unit that took the field last season. Aaron Donald and Ernest Jones are really the only returning starters from a year ago, which means Los Angeles has a lot of rebuilding to do around them.
