51. . Defensive Lineman. Alabama. Raekwon Davis. 30. player

The Los Angeles Rams clinched the No. 2 overall seed in the NFC Playoffs this season, but they really backed into the playoffs. Dealing with an injured Todd Gurley, and an under-performing Jared Goff, the Rams look very beatable as of late, and will be forced to take on a Dallas Cowboys team that is playing very good football as of late.

When it comes to this Rams team, they did a lot to bolster the defense this past offseason, bringing in guys like Marcus Peters, Aqib Talib, and Ndamukong Suh. In addition, they traded with  the Jacksonville Jaguars for Dante Fowler Jr. during the trade deadline, as they are really making a push to win some rings with Goff on his rookie contract.

Next season, Suh is likely to be gone, as he is just too expensive, so it would make sense that the Rams would bring in a defensive lineman with their first round pick. One of the more versatile linemen in the 2019 NFL Draft class is Raekwon Davis from Alabama, who would be a nice fit for the Rams this late in round one.

Davis is an explosive player, and has the talent to play on the inside, or the edge for the Rams next season. Los Angeles has the best defensive tackle in football in Aaron Donald, but he needs help up front, and Davis is a guy who could step in and really impact what the Rams like to do on defense in year one.
