17. Los Angeles Rams (Preseason rank: 27)

Current nickel package: CB Trumaine Johnson, CB Troy Hill, SCB Lamarcus Joyner, S Maurice Alexander, S T.J. McDonald

Most of the Rams’ secondary has actually performed well this season. Maurice Alexander and T.J. McDonald rank 10th and 26th in overall grade, respectively, out of 82 qualifying safeties. Lamarcus Joyner leads all defensive backs with 19 defensive stops and a position-best 9.1 run stop percentage. Unfortunately, Troy Hill has been the worst cornerback in coverage this season. His 336 yards allowed on 155 snaps in coverage measures out to one of the worst rates in the league.
