The Rams acquire DT Walter Nolen. While not an immediate need for the team, Nolen replaces Bobby Brown III in Chris Shula's base 3-4 defense and serves as a perfect rotation player when the team comes out in dime or nickel. He is also versatile enough to be built into different pass rush packages.

Nolen's floor is a long-term NFL quality starter and his celling is DeForest Buckner. That means the Rams can use him for four years and then trade him for a first round pick.
