1979—George Andrews, Nebraska (80/58starts, 12.5-sacks)
A really underrated performer who rose during the 1981 & 1982 dip, and then in the middle of his career year—1984—he rips his knee…and rips it again during his comeback…and rips the other the season after that and by 1986 he was forced to retire.

2005—Alex Barron, Florida St. (Traded 5/10/2010 to Cowboys for LB Bobby Carpenter)

Bad isn’t even a good enough word to describe how awful Alex Barron was with the Rams…Forget about the production…blocking and pass protection…lets just talk about the penalties.

Rob Havenstein has played 9-seasons with the Rams (2/57/2015) He’s been a starter the whole time…and he’s been hit with 35 accepted penalties…over 130 games …that’s 4 penalties per year…

Alex Barron…played five seasons with the Rams…76 games, 74 starts…63 accepted penalties…or 12 times per year…He was traded to Dallas appeared in three or four games and was flagged three times.

In the 1990s the Rams Drafted:
1994: Wayne Gandy 15th…13 year starter Rams/Steelers/Saints
1997: Orlando Pace 1st…Hall of Fame

Since then, drafting tackles in the Top 100.

2000: John St. Clair 41st
2005: Alex Barron
2008: John Greco 65th (drafted as a tackle/moved to guard in Cleveland.)
2009: Jason Smith 2nd
2010: Rodger Saffold #33 (Moved to guard)
2014: Greg Robinson #2
2015: Havenstein #57
2015: Jamon Brown #72
2018: Joseph Noteboom #89
2019: Bobby Evans #97

Finding a tackle is hard...and the Rams need to be VERY sure before moving off Alaric Jackson.
