Rams meeting with Western Kentucky DL Brodric Martin

The Rams’ defensive line will look much different in 2023. Greg Gaines landed with the Buccaneers in free agency and though A’Shawn Robinson is still available, there are no indications that he’ll be returning to Los Angeles for another season.

That has made the D-line a big priority entering the draft and the Rams have already shown interest in multiple prospects – Western Kentucky nose tackle Brodric Martin among them.

According to Ryan Fowler of The Draft Network, the Rams are meeting with Martin this afternoon after talking to the Chargers on Monday. Martin is projected to be a Day 3 pick but he’s an intriguing prospect with good upside.

He’s 6-foot-4 1/2 and 337 pounds with 34-inch arms, bringing great size to the defensive line as a nose tackle. He had two sacks and 19 total hurries last season at WKU, primarily lining up as the nose tackle up front.

Martin would be a logical replacement for Gaines, even if they’re different types of nose tackles; Gaines is much shorter and compact, whereas Martin has a more impressive frame for a defensive lineman.
