Los Angeles Rams 2020 NFL Draft grades: Van Jefferson says hello
Third Round
Terrell Lewis will be a great pass rusher added to an already elite group. Aaron Donald leads the way for Los Angeles, but there are so many other playmakers on the roster. Because of that, Lewis may have a tough time getting on the field initially, but he has the skills to grow into a real threat. He could be a replacement for the departed Dante Fowler.
“(Replacing Fowler is) definitely something you’ve got to live up to, but I don’t have no problem with that,” Lewis said. “I think, if anything, I’m just excited about the fact that I’m going to be a Ram, get to play along guys like (CB) Jalen Ramsey and (DT) Aaron Donald and guys like that and get in where I fit in and contribute as much as possible.”
Another Terrell for the Rams? Sure why not. Burgess, a safety, started 14 games as a senior last season. He had 81 stops, 7.5 for loss, one interception, and five pass breakups. He has elite discipline and field vision despite just a single season as full-time starter after making a position switch from corner.
Burgess isn’t the fastest player, but Burgess still has a ton of value as a potential nickel player.
