The Rams' Best-Case Scenario in 2025

"Los Angeles's offense will likely be good again. Davante Adams could make it even better than last season. But the Rams' biggest growth potential is on defense. The Rams were really young there last season. Defensive linemen Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske, outside linebackers Byron Young and Jared Verse, inside linebacker Omar Speights, and defensive backs Kamren Kinchens, Quentin Lake and Kam Curl are all under 27 years old," Schwab said.

"The Rams gave up 314 rushing yards to the Eagles in Week 12, but after that, their defense ranked 10th in EPA (expected points added) allowed per play, including the postseason. It was sixth in EPA allowed against the pass after Week 12. There are still questions about the run defense and the cornerback position, but it's reasonable to believe a very young defense improves after last season's strong finish. If L.A.'s defense grows and Matthew Stafford remains at his level, the Rams could win the NFC West again. And as we saw last postseason, they could be a very tough out."

During the offseason, McVay elaborated on his short-term and long-term roster plans for the team. He and Les Snead are on the same page. Los Angeles already has several young, talented players on their roster and will likely continue using the NFL Draft to add more.

“I think you try to refer to the experience with a lot of the good decisions and to some of the things that we would maybe do differently. It is the element of trusting everybody to do their role and responsibility,” McVay said.

“I think the one thing that I'm so grateful for is having an ownership group in the Kroenke family that supports us, trusts us, builds safety, gives us the freedom to fail, but also acknowledges our mistakes and then ultimately try to be able to do the next right thing for us. It is always a balance, and this league is challenging, but I think you try to put that puzzle together.

"I think you use the previous experiences, and then ultimately it is about building a team, and what does that look like to acknowledge what's been going on? What are the things that we need to do to be able to address to be better in certain spots, whether that's coaching, whether that's schematic, whether that's personnel-related? And how does that evolve and adapt with the fluidity and flexibility that's necessary on a year-to-year basis?"
