2017 NFL Draft Round 4: Los Angeles Rams Select LB Samson Ebukam

The Los Angeles Rams realized the importance of using the 2017 NFL Draft to provide Jared Goff with more weapons, but the team was drawing some criticism for focusing too much on the offensive needs. By using three of their first four picks in the draft to help boost the passing game, many wondered when the Rams would being focusing on other areas for the defense along with the offensive line.

Later in the fourth round, Los Angeles decided to trade up and use the 125th overall pick on Eastern Washington linebacker Samson Ebukam, who will reunite with teammate Cooper Kupp after the team selected the wide receiver in the third round on Friday.
