Los Angeles Rams v New York Giants — Which teams should pursue Xavier McKinney?

5) Los Angeles Rams

Ahkello Witherspoon headlines the Rams' free agent class

The Los Angeles Rams currently boast one of the best front sevens in the league. Aaron Donald is a future first-ballot Hall of Famer who has been nothing short of prolific and dominant, while Kobie Turner, Ernest Jones, and Byron Young have been great complements for him.

And then there is the secondary. Both Ahkello Witherspoon and Jordan Fuller will become free agents, leaving the team with a dearth of top-notch defensive backs. If McKinney is available, he will represent an upgrade from the likes of Quentin Lake and Russ Yeast.
