When discussing the team needs for the Los Angeles Rams entering the 2023 NFL draft, the safety position may not be viewed as a top priority. There are other glaring holes at premium positions like edge rusher and cornerback on the defensive side of the ball that need to be addressed.
Despite other positions needing more attention in the draft, the Rams could certainly use one of their 11 picks on a safety. With Taylor Rapp and Nick Scott leaving in free agency this offseason, it remains to be seen if the Rams are confident in Jordan Fuller, Russ Yeast, and Quentin Lake all having expanded roles in 2023.
Ahead of what is an important draft for the Rams, Anthony Johnson Jr. out of Iowa State is an enticing late-round safety prospect.
