NFL.com’s Gregg Rosenthal posted his starting offenses and defenses for all four teams in the NFC West, and on the LA Rams he’s chosen a couple of key position battles for the defense.
While the defensive line, safety spots, and outside cornerback spots are all presumably spoken for, the Rams are likely to get competitions going for every starting linebacker job and they’ve got a need for a standout slot corner. The NFC West figures to feature talented slot receivers for all three of LA’s divisional opponents: Larry Fitzgerald, Tyler Lockett, and Deebo Samuel could all work out of the slot.
