Los Angeles Chargers: LB Eric Kendricks

Brandon Staley’s club wasn’t overly busy in free agency, while general manager Tom Telesco obviously has his eye on the TCU program. The latter added three former Horned Frogs in wide receivers Quentin Johnson and Derius Davis and quarterback Max Duggan. Telesco added former Vikings’ linebacker Eric Kendricks, who should help a defense that continues to have issues when it comes to stopping the run.

Los Angeles Rams: G Steve Avila

One year after winning a Lombardi Trophy, the Rams set a dubious record for the most losses by a defending Super Bowl champion via a 5-12 finish. The team didn’t select a player in the first round for the seventh consecutive year, but GM Les Snead led the way as the club drafted an NFL-high 14 players. Guard Steve Avila (2-TCU) should start immediately, especially since the Rams allowed 59 sacks in 2023.

Miami Dolphins: CB Jalen Ramsey

For numerous reasons, the Dolphins only drafted four players in April. General manager Chris Grier signed his share of free agents this season, many from within the AFC East. The team gave up a third-round pick this year to snare star cornerback Jalen Ramsey from the Los Angeles Rams. He led Sean McVay’s club with four interceptions this past season. Meanwhile, the Dolphins picked off just eight passes in 17 games.
