7. St. Louis Rams

Arguably the best front four in the league, the Rams added to their defensive live by drafting Aaron Donald in the first round. That level of the D is so good that it’ll have to mask the deficiencies in the linebacking unit and secondary. Alec Ogletree needs to take a step forward in 2014. A healthy T.J. McDonald and a more consistent Janoris Jenkins could be difference-makers.
