The Los Angeles Rams will be the No. 2 overall seed in the NFC Playoffs this season, but they have a ton of question marks heading into the postseason. Their offense just has not looked right for a month now, and Jared Goff is playing some of the worst football of his young career.

In addition, star running back Todd Gurley had to miss the last two games due to an injury to his knee, though the expectation is that he will be ready for the playoffs. They are going to need him to be 100 percent if they are going to make a run to the playoffs, as they have the talent on both sides of the ball to do just that.

Los Angeles made a bunch of moves this past offseason to bolster the defense, including bringing in guys like Ndamukong Suh, Marcus Peters, and Aqib Talib. Suh comes with heavy price tag, and likely will not be back with the team in 2019, so they may want to use their first round pick on bringing in an elite talent at the defensive tackle position.

This team struggled on defense at times this season, especially in the interior of the defensive line, and they should use their first round pick to bolster the spot. Derrick Brown from Auburn is a guy who is going to wreak havoc at the next level, and help this Rams team continue to dominate in the NFC West.
