The Los Angeles Rams had a few needs on the defensive side of the ball and they’ve used two straight picks in the 2023 NFL draft on defensive players. After bolstering their pass rush by selecting Byron Young out of Tennessee with the 77th overall pick, the Rams have now taken Kobie Turner out of Wake Forest to strengthen the interior of their defensive front.
Turner transferred to Wake Forest in 2022 after spending a few years at Richmond in college. In his lone season at Wake Forest, Turner notched 10 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles, and two sacks.
With the Rams making another pick to improve their defensive front, fans and analysts alike reacted on Twitter to Turner’s selection.
