Rams Needs from https://sports.yahoo.com/2018-nfl-team-needs-041500466--spt.html

Secondary: Stud LCB Trumaine Johnson and slot CB Nickell Robey-Coleman are unrestricted free agents coming off strong years. Free agent FS Lamarcus Joyner is set to become one of the highest-paid safeties in the league. RCB Kayvon Webster tore his Achilles’ in December and probably won’t be ready for the season. If the Broncos cut LCB Aqib Talib as some around the league expect, the Rams would be a sensible landing spot, reuniting Talib with ex-Denver DC Wade Phillips. 

Defensive Front Seven: The Rams have two individual stars in the front seven (DT Aaron Donald, EDGE Robert Quinn) and several plus contributors (DE Michael Brockers, underrated OLB Matt Longacre, NT/DE Ethan Westbrooks, ILBs Mark Barron and Alec Ogletree). With OLB Connor Barwin’s contract up, this unit still needs another outside pass rusher to complement Quinn and general defensive line depth. 

Interior Offensive Line: I almost went wide receiver as the Rams’ No. 3 need; they’ll have to find a field stretcher for Sean McVay’s “DeSean Jackson Role” if free agent Sammy Watkins gets away. Beat writers expect Los Angeles to retain Watkins with the franchise tag. Up front, 33-year-old stopgap C John Sullivan’s contract expires and RG Jamon Brown will likely face competition.

ILB Leighton Vander Esch is the easy answer imo. If not him, Harold Landry also works.
