Summary
The Rams pulled off a defensive overhaul this offseason, adding elite talent like Trent McDuffie and Myles Garrett while locking up key pieces long-term. Offensively, they quietly upgraded with a potential franchise QB in Ty Simpson and a solid lineman in Keagen Trost. But there’s a glaring hole at linebacker—Nate Landman is decent, but lacks proven support, and Omar Speights’ coverage woes last season raise red flags. While the defense looks like a fortress everywhere else, the middle linebacker spot remains a glaring weakness. They’ve also brought in undrafted gems like Nikhai Hill-Green, who could surprise, while special teams players Grant Stuard and Shaun Dolac (who might see more defense) fill other roles. With their budget focused on the secondary and star defenders, the linebacker gap is now even more obvious.
