Rams 2023 Draft Prospect Profile: Dee Winters (LB, TCU)

Dee Winters would be a viable option on Day 3 of the 2023 NFL draft if the Rams want to select an ILB.

The Los Angeles Rams will need to address a variety of needs throughout the rest of the offseason, primarily via the 2023 NFL draft. With the losses of Jalen Ramsey, Leonard Floyd, and Greg Gaines this offseason, the Rams could look to replace those players in the draft.

Even though it isn’t a bigger need than other positions, the Rams could certainly consider taking an inside linebacker in this year’s draft following the release of Bobby Wagner. Ernest Jones has proven to be a formidable starter, but he’ll need someone to help fortify the middle of the defense.

If the Rams want to fill other needs before taking an inside linebacker, Dee Winters would be a solid Day 3 pick.

The 2023 NFL Scouting Combine is underway with the defensive tackles, edge rushers, and linebackers putting on a show during the on-field workouts at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Cardinals have ‘excellent’ meeting with TCU LB Dee Winters at Senior Bowl

The Cardinals met with the versatile linebacker at the Senior Bowl.

The Senior Bowl was earlier this month and pretty much every player there met with every NFL team in some capacity, whether it was formally or informally.

This year’s NFL draft will be interesting for the Arizona Cardinals because it will be the first in more than a decade not led by Steve Keim.

Now they have general manager Monti Ossenfort and assistant general manager Dave Sears putting together the draft plan.

One player the Cardinals met with at the Senior Bowl is TCU linebacker Dee Winters. According to The Draft Network’s Justin Melo, Winters had “excellent meetings” with several teams, including the Cardinals.

Winters is a former safety who transitioned to linebacker. He is 6-foot-1 and 230 pounds.

In 2022, Winters had 75 tackles, 7.5 sacks, 17.5 tackles for loss and an interception returned for a touchdown for the TCU team that went to the national championship game.

He is viewed as a possible Day 2 pick in the draft.
