Rams Focus on Depth in Free Agency

0:00On March 16, the Los Angeles Rams wrapped up the first wave of free agency on a high note, filling their top priorities across the roster. Now they can shift to building depth, with backup quarterback topping the list, followed by swing tackle, slot cornerback, and a third wide receiver. Teams like the Rams are in solid shape, when backups become the main focus. For quarterback, they might resign Jimmy Garoppolo, after his Arizona deal fell apart, or target draft prospects like Ty Simpson or Garrett Nussmeyer, to develop behind Matthew Stafford. On the offensive line, David Kwestenberry provides some experience at tackle, but the Rams need more versatility for injuries. Losing slot corners, Kobe DeRant and Roger McCreary opened a gap, though Quinton Lake can fill in short-term while they eye draft picks like DeAngelo. Ponds, Rams fans see this as a smart pivot, especially with a deep draft class at corner. Interest in AJ Brown's signals they want to upgrade beyond Jordan Whittington, and Kanata Mungfield as the third option behind Devonte Adams in Puka, Nakua.

1:03As the draft nears in late April, expect the Rams to grab burst-tile talent in the middle rounds, rounding out a roster ready to compete in the NFC, West.
