It has been a busy few months for all 32 teams. With the conclusion of the 2018 NFL Draft, what five acquisitions stand out for the Los Angeles Rams?

It was a franchise that had not seen the playoffs since 2004. It was a club that ended 2016 with a seven-game losing streak. It was a team now led by the youngest head coach in NFL history.

All signs pointed to massive uncertainty when it came to the Los Angeles Rams year ago. Instead, it all added up to the club’s first division title since 2003.club

Led by second-year quarterback Jared Goff and 2017 NFL Offensive Player of the Year Todd Gurley, the team led the NFL in scoring just one season after finishing dead last in the league in the same category. Sean McVay earned NFL Coach of the Year accolades after guiding the club to 11 wins — one season after the Rams finished 4-12. The defense also made strides under new coordinator Wade Phillips. And Aaron Donald earned NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors.

But all of these awards couldn’t prevent an early playoff exit. McVay’s club was humbled by the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC wild card round. Still, it was a good start to a new era with this franchise.

So what about the next step? When it comes to big names, arguably no team in the league added more this offseason than the Los Angeles Rams. So how do the team’s newest acquisition stack up from No. 5 to No. 1?

Next: No. 5
