Despite the NFL Draft having come and gone, the Los Angeles Rams still have several holes on their roster, Specifically, their secondary remains a huge liability that went unaddressed.
The Rams selected two linebackers and a defensive tackle, but didn't take any secondary players in the draft. However, there are multiple cornerbacks available for the Rams to go out and sign. The most notable name remaining is former Los Angeles Chargers star Asante Samuel Jr.
Samuel only played in four games in 2024 due to a shoulder injury, but has given the Chargers good production when healthy. He picked off two passes in each of his first three seasons and added 137 tackles, as well. In 2023, he was graded as one of PFF's top cornerbacks, earning a 75.6 coverage grade and a 73.9 overall grade.
Adding Samuel to the secondary would immediately make the Rams' secondary much better. It wouldn't completely fix the unit, but adding him to a group that already consists Darious Williams and Ahkello Witherspoon would strengthen the unit as a whole, while also pushing everyone below Samuel down a peg and create more depth.
