The 2022 NFL draft and the most active period of free agency are in the rearview mirror this offseason, meaning that power rankings are going to populate the internet moving forward. Peter King, who compiles a thorough power rankings article in the offseason every year, has the Los Angeles Rams listed as his No. 4 team entering the 2022 campaign.
Here is an excerpt on why King believes the Rams are the fourth-best team.
I want to pick the Von Miller-less, Sebastian Joseph-Day-less, Odell Beckham-less (for now), Andrew Whitworth-less, Robert Woods-less Rams to move back a bit after their Super Bowl season. But like Green Bay, let’s remember what remains. The four biggest player drivers to a championship are back and should be as good as ever: Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp, Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey. Oh, and coach Sean McVay, who, at least for 2022, remains coaching and not commentating. And do not underestimate the force that is McVay in moving this team forward. Some coaches coach the team. McVay coaches the team, sets the organizational tone, and gives the team a fervor during the week and certainly on Sundays.
