. EDGE. Boston College. Harold Landry. 23. player. 51

The Los Angeles Rams are young, don’t have a ton of needs and are in win-now mode, particularly after all the splashy offseason moves the team has made in advance of the regular season.

In particular, the addition of Ndamukong Suh to pair alongside fellow defensive tackle Aaron Donald should scare opponents aplenty this upcoming season. This is a legitimate defensive front, and it would get even stronger by adding a true edge-bending pass-rusher to the mix.

Had he come out in the NFL Draft a year ago, Boston College’s Harold Landry would have been an easy top-10 pick after a 16.5-sack campaign that year. But injuries and consistency hurt his draft stock in 2017-18, meaning he’ll fall all the way to No. 23.

No problem for the Rams, though, who make this selection and beef up what is already looking to be a dominant defense.
