Despite the excitement surrounding the Jalen Ramsey trade, there are still concerns surrounding the Los Angeles Rams.

In what could end up being one of the biggest surprise trades of the 2019 season, the Los Angeles Rams acquired Jalen Ramsey from the Jacksonville Jaguars on Tuesday to provide the defense with arguably the best cornerback in the NFL.

Dating back to last season, the Rams have established a reputation for being in “win now” mode with the approach of bringing any player on board that seems capable of putting the team in the best position possible to make a run at the Super Bowl.

While it was great to see this method almost work last year after Los Angeles came up short in the Super Bowl this past February to the New England Patriots, Tuesday’s move to land Ramsey shows the Rams are still willing to make the big moves now.

Of course, just because Los Angeles struck gold by landing Ramsey doesn’t necessarily mean they’re guaranteed to be successful moving forward, and earn another trip to the Super Bowl.

If anything, the addition of Ramsey arguably adds more pressure to the Rams when it comes to living up to the new expectations with the star cornerback on board, as the star cornerback coming on board has Los Angeles talking Super Bowl hype once again.

Now that Ramsey to Los Angeles is official, it only seems fair to take a closer look at some of the concerns that are still there surrounding the Rams since as great as this move is, the defending NFC champions still have numerous areas to address moving forward.
