from Ten Team Needs Unfulfilled

Free agency and the draft have come on gone, but these teams still have glaring holes on their roster

3. Rams at Free Safety

Fans and media didn’t say much about Rodney McLeod leaving the Rams for Philadelphia, but people within the NFL did. McLeod is one of the game’s rangiest centerfielders. Some believe he’s second only to Earl Thomas. He’s also a willing and able tackler. Range and tackling are all it takes to be an elite safety, which means the Rams this season are minus an elite player. Exacerbating matters: They found no replacement for McLeod. Undrafted fourth-year pro Cody Davis will compete with undrafted rookie Brian Randolph for the job. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams loves to disguise and bring pressure. Will he be as comfortable doing that with question marks in the deep middle of his D?

Enh. I think we all appreciated McCleod but I didn’t think
he was a top-five safety. I thought he was ‘solid.’

i think he’s a very good safety.

but if there’s one thing i trust about this coaching staff it’s their ability to find and develop defensive backs.

i really like this brian randolph kid from tennessee. he could be a real steal.

having said that i think losing mcleod could potentially be the free agent loss that hurts the most.

I am not worried about safety. We can make a safety. We made McCleod. imo
