The Los Angeles Rams hold the 13th pick in the upcoming draft after the blockbuster trade for Trent McDuffie — and now the big question is how they use it.

On this episode of the Rams LAFB Show, host Ryan Anderson is joined by LAFB draft expert Will Decker to break down the top defensive prospects the Rams could target. From elite linebackers and physical corners to the best safeties in the class, the guys dive deep into which prospects fit the identity of a defense led by Jared Verse and Braden Fiske.

They discuss whether elite prospects like Sonny Styles or Caleb Downs could fall to pick 13, compare top cornerback options like Jermod McCoy and Mansoor Delane, and break down linebacker sleepers such as Jacob Rodriguez and Jake Golday.

If the Rams want to continue building one of the most physical young defenses in the NFL, this draft could define the next era in Los Angeles.
