The Rams picked Michigan edge rusher Josaiah Stewart with the 90th overall selection in the third round of the NFL draft on Friday night.
Stewart – a 6-foot-1, 245-pound prospect – started his career at Coastal Carolina before transferring to Michigan, following a trend in the Rams’ pass rush of moving up to bigger programs after starting their college careers at smaller programs.
The edge rusher opened his career with 12½ sacks as a freshman at Coastal Carolina. He had 5½ sacks his first year at Michigan, then 8½ as a senior. He also forced six fumbles in his career.
He also has some experience dropping into coverage, something the Rams ask their outside linebackers to do.
Stewart slots in to replace the snaps vacated by Michael Hoecht’s departure to Buffalo in free agency.
