The Los Angeles Rams' biggest need comes on the defensive side. The Rams need to make a move at the cornerback position if they want to improve in 2026.
Two things that are true about the Rams' defense from a season ago are that they were one of the best defenses for most of the season, and they faded away at the end of the year, including the playoffs.
The Rams did not have the answer in the playoffs, and many around said that is what cost them a Super Bowl last season. It was hard for the Rams' defense in the playoffs when they gave up a lot of points and could not get a stop when it mattered the most in the biggest game last season.know what they need to do to get back to where they were last season and have a different outcome next season. The Rams have big plans to bring another Super Bowl to Los Angeles. If they want to have the best chance to do that, they will need to make sure they fill the holes that they have on the defensive side of the ball. In the Rams' secondary, that is where the problem lay for the Rams in the later part of the season a year ago.

The cornerback position is one that the Rams are analyzing right now and seeing which player is the best fit to come in and play well in defensive coordinator Chris Shula's system. Shula has done a great job of making new players successful over the last few seasons. Now he will get that chance once again. Matt Bowen of ESPN gave his list of players that will be a good fit for the Rams and he has a speedy cornerback that spent last season with the New Orleans Saints on top of that list for Los Angeles this offseason. This player will be a massive upgrade for the Rams if they could sign him.
