LOS ANGELES (AP) The Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl 2 1/2 months ago despite fielding a secondary that didn't appear to be nearly as good as the previous season's group. The Rams' front office also thought that room could use some upgrades. On the third day of the NFL draft, the champs selected four defensive backs and reacquired a key pass defender from that 2020 juggernaut that led the league in total defense.
With rookie Thomas Graham playing a starring role and back-ups Kindle Vildor, Deon Bush, Teez Tabor and Marqui Christian making plays, the Bears’ makeshift defensive backfield held Justin Jefferson to four catches for 47 yards and Kirk Cousins to 87 passing yards.
