Los Angeles Rams: Outside linebacker options in the 2019 NFL Draft

One of the Los Angeles Rams biggest needs is at linebacker, both inside and out. Here are some outside linebackers that the Rams can draft in different rounds.

The Los Angeles Rams have a first-round pick in the NFL Draft for the first time since selecting Jared Goff first overall in the 2016 NFL Draft. Coming off the heels of a Super Bowl loss, the Rams can utilize that first-round pick, and the rest of the 2019 NFL Draft to plug the holes on the roster and get back to the big game.

There are not many holes on the Rams roster and it really depends on who the team is able to keep that is set to be a free agent. However, regardless of who leaves and stays, there is one very noticeable need for the Rams: linebacker.

The Los Angeles Rams are lacking at both inside and outside linebacker. R.J. White and Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports rank outside linebacker as the teams’ biggest need and inside linebacker as the third-biggest need.

While I would argue that safety might be the team’s biggest need, linebacker is obviously still a sore point of the roster.

The Los Angeles Rams do not have a second-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft but can find a decent linebacker from rounds one to four. We probably won’t dive into the late rounds, as those linebackers wouldn’t make a big difference.

With that being said, here are some linebacker options for the Los Angeles Rams in the 2019 NFL Draft and where they could be drafted.
