As stout as the defense of the Los Angeles Rams was throughout the entire season, there was one deficiency that stood out as a consistent weakness, which would be the performance of the secondary. Although the defense finished the season with 10 interceptions and 72 passes deflected, the secondary can use upgrades at both cornerback and safety.
When looking at the potential players that would fit the mold of a Wade Phillips defensive back, cornerback Stephon Gilmore is a name to keep an eye on for the Rams heading into free agency.
Gilmore has spent the last five seasons with the Buffalo Bills, and has proven to be a big, lockdown cornerback that can defend in both zone and press coverage.
