Preach it. How Rams could let a talent like Dotson go would be nuts

January 04, 2024 11:55AM
If I might add to your excellent points.

I have never bought into the notion that the most valuable positions on the Oline are the OTs. Maybe a really good LT can be made a case for, but certainly not at RT.

OGs and Center are critical to the run game, and to the pass game. The quickest route to the QB is straight up the middle (just ask AD and Turner). A QB can move around with edge pressure, but a DT immediately in his face is disastrous unless you are Lamar Jackson.

We have a pretty decent LT, an above average but not stellar RT, but two stellar OGs surrounding an average but competent Center and look at the results. If we were intent on drafting any oline for me it would be center if we think in a year it could be improved.

Nonetheless it would be foolish not to sign Dotson to his market value. Our oline chemistry is terrific and he is not easily replaceable.
