Bad luck or bad planning? Did Rams make mistake not addressing edge in free agency?

With Haason Reddick being traded to the New York Jets for a 2026 conditional third-round pick, it seems as if the Los Angeles Rams will be waiting until the draft, specifically 19th overall, to address the biggest need on the roster. It wasn’t long ago that the Rams would have headed those conversations. Now, they may not have even been in the running. It’s the beginning of a new era of Rams football, especially on defense.

Despite EDGE being the biggest need on the roster and rookie players at that position typically taking a jump in year two, it is surprising that the Rams didn’t make a single move at the edge position.
