The Los Angeles Rams’ decision to trade Jalen Ramsey left a huge void at cornerback, removing one of the best defenders in the NFL from their secondary. They were already thin at that position coming into the year, but his departure makes this one of the biggest priorities for the front office in 2023.
The Rams picked a good year to need a cornerback because the incoming draft class is fantastic. It’s rich with big, athletic cornerbacks who can line up inside or out, similar to the way Ramsey did in Raheem Morris’ scheme. They won’t find a one-for-one replacement, but this draft class has a ton of intriguing options at corner.
