Should Rams Trade For Chargers Star Edge Khalil Mack?

Could the Los Angeles Rams acquire a veteran in the summer to take command of the defense? The team’s defense features a lot of youthful talent who showed promise in the previous campaign.

After losing key players like Jalen Ramsey and Leonard Floyd to injury last season, the Los Angeles Rams defense played far better than many had anticipated.

This past season, a handful of the team’s youthful defensive players made significant contributions to guide the defense as a whole. However, the Rams’ defense might get even better if they went after a veteran presence.

One trade that was examined in a recent Bleacher Report story that outlined moves that might create the next great defensive was Khalil Mack’s move from one Los Angeles team to another.

According to the proposed trade, the Rams would send Mack a third-round pick in the next NFL Draft. The Rams may find this to be a compelling concept as it provides them with additional quarterback pressure and an experienced player to complement Aaron Donald on the defense.

“Despite the overall youth on the Los Angeles Rams, they notched 10 wins and made the playoffs,” Bleacher Report said. “The immediate impacts of rookie pass-rushers Byron Young and Kobie Turner played a key role in L.A.’s surprise ascent. But the Rams didn’t have a whole lot of edge-rushing depth behind Young and Michael Hoecht. Khalil Mack could provide that solution.”
