Between early contributions by Puka Nacua, Steve Avila, Kobie Turner, and even punter Ethan Evans, the L.A. Rams 2023 draft class is already looking like it has the potential to be one of the best in franchise history. These young players are all looking like long-term starters for the team and pillars of the future.
While those players have all worked out great so far, one of the most important selections of the draft class was taking a player to truly complement Aaron Donald on the defensive line, something LA has lacked since losing Von Miller in free agency two years ago and the position became an even higher priority when the Rams released their top two sack contributors Leonard Floyd and Bobby Wagner this past offseason.
