When discussing the team needs for the Los Angeles Rams entering the 2023 NFL draft, the edge rusher position should be a priority. Leonard Floyd gave the Rams plenty of production off of the edge in recent years, but he was released by the team earlier this offseason.
The only edge rusher on the current roster that has at least one sack in his career is Michael Hoecht, who transitioned from being an interior defender during the 2022 season. Regardless of what round it is, the Rams will likely use at least one of their 11 picks in the 2023 NFL draft on an edge rusher.
If the Rams want to select an edge defender on Day 3 of the draft, D.J. Johnson out of Oregon is a prospect that would make sense.
