Thursday was a busy day at the NFL combine as defensive linemen, edge rushers and linebackers all did their weigh-ins and testing. These are important position groups for the Rams as they seek to bolster their defensive front, so they should’ve had a close eye on the numbers from players on the field Thursday.
While a number of players stood out for their impressive performances, these nine could be potential targets for the Rams in the draft.

Georgia OLB Nolan Smith
Smith might’ve had the best day of any player on Thursday. Not only did he run 4.39 in the 40-yard dash, which was incredible, but he jumped 41.5 inches in the vertical. That’s equally impressive and it shows the type of explosiveness and athleticism that Smith brings to the table.
He should be one of the top targets for the Rams at No. 36, but he may not get there after his combine performance.
