The Los Angeles Rams were able to put together a lethal pass-rushing unit in 2021 when they acquired Von Miller from the Denver Broncos. Miller would aid the Rams in securing their first Super Bowl win since 1999, recording four sacks in the postseason (two in the Super Bowl).
Following the team’s Super Bowl victory, they turned their attention to retaining Miller. However, the veteran edge rusher would elect to sign with the Buffalo Bills instead of returning to the Rams in 2022, leaving Los Angeles thin off of the edge.
Outside of Leonard Floyd, Los Angeles lacks a consistent edge-rushing presence on their defense. With a glaring need for an edge rusher, I’ll be taking a look at a handful of edge rushers the Rams could target in the 2022 NFL draft, beginning with Tyreke Smith out of Ohio State.
