Jalen Logan-Redding, a four-year college starter and former Minnesota standout, joins the Rams after going undrafted. While not a prolific pass rusher—recording four sacks over six college seasons—Logan-Redding is known for his run defense and edge-setting prowess, traits the Rams value for depth along the defensive line. He projects as a strong contender for a roster spot or a potential practice squad role, given his extensive college experience and development potential.
In addition to Logan-Redding, the Rams used their seventh-round pick on Tim Keenan III, a defensive tackle and teammate of Simpson at Alabama, as a developmental prospect. The overall approach reflects the Rams’ emphasis on fortifying the defensive front through both the draft and free-agent signings, aiming to build depth and competition heading into training camp and the upcoming season.
Key Takeaways:
– Rams’ top draft pick Ty Simpson signals a quarterback-of-the-future plan behind Stafford.
– Jalen Logan-Redding’s signing adds veteran college experience and run-stopping versatility to the defensive line.
– Keenan III provides additional depth at defensive tackle, highlighting the Rams’ focus on front-seven improvement via draft and undrafted free agents.
