The Rams made a bold statement with their 30-20 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night. Not only are they back in the playoff hunt, but they also knocked off a team considered to be a Super Bowl contender.
At this point in the season, injuries start to pile up and deals tend to get made. The Tennessee Titans may be undergoing a fire sale of veteran players, capped off by their trade of Deandre Hopkins to the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Rams should make a move for their former DT Sebastian Joseph-Day as he would most likely cost nothing more than a sixth-round pick. He would add depth to the defensive line and he’s very familiar with the Rams’ defensive scheme.
It would also allow rookie Braden Fiske to focus his efforts on nickel packages, turning him into a much more effective pass rusher instead of continually getting hit when he lines up as a DE in Chris Shula’s 3-4 formation.
Joseph-Day is cheap, smart, and possibly available. For a sixth-round pick, he would be a steal—the type of steal that turns contenders into champions.
