Projected Cap Space: -$18.5 million- Offensive Tackle

- Cornerback
- The Los Angeles Rams are one of the most complete teams, but they have one glaring need they must address. They need to find a new franchise left tackle. Andrew Whitworth was rock-solid before suffering a knee injury that has sidelined him indefinitely, as he didn't allow a sack, according to Pro Football Focus. It does sound like Whitworth plans on trying to play in 2021."Now I get an opportunity to lead in a different way while also rehabbing myself back ready to ride with my teammates!" he said in an Instagram post. However, he is not in a position to be the long-term answer at left tackle. He will be 39 at the start of next season.
While quarterback Jared Goff hasn't fallen off in a Carson Wentz-like manner, he has made frequent mistakes this season, including two interceptions in the Week 12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. It would be smart for the Rams to bring in a veteran backup just in case Goff's inconsistencies continue.
Defensively, L.A. doesn't have any major needs, though it could benefit from adding another quality cornerback. Jalen Ramsey is a star, but Troy Hill has surrendered his fair share of big plays. He has allowed 437 yards and two touchdowns in coverage and an opposing passer rating of 97.5.
Unfortunately, spending big in free agency probably won't be an option.
