Round 3, Pick 84: Bradlee Anae (Edge, Utah)
Less than two weeks until free agency, the Rams have quite the decisions to make on defense. Do they bring back Dante Fowler and Cory Littleton? Or do they allow one or both of them to walk, and add more compensatory picks for next year?
In the event that Fowler heads elsewhere, finding an edge rusher becomes a necessity for Los Angeles. Luckily for the Rams, they could have an opportunity to select someone like Bradlee Anae in the third round of the draft.
At Utah, Anae had the best campaign of his collegiate career in 2019. The high-motor pass rusher finished with a career-high 13 sacks, 14 tackles for loss, and a forced fumble this season.
By selecting Anae, the Rams would be getting a rotational edge defender, that could evolve into a starter down the road. At the least, you know you’re going to get a hard-working player that is relentless in his pursuit to the quarterback.
