Center: Mike McCallister…(Coleman Shelton)…Avila…
McCallister is 62/305-UDFA-Youngstown St. …will turn 26 6/12/1998…Background as a volunteer firefighter starting when he was in high school…McVay specifically praised McCallister after OTAs last summer….Tough guy…who could become what? Rich Saul? Nah, Coleman Shelton? Possibly…Remember Coleman Shelton joined the Rams in 2019…that year, Shelton played 22-snaps, none in 2020…216 in 2021…720 in 2022…and of course 1,113-snaps in 2023…
FAs: On the market right now are the Dolphins Connor Williams, Raiders Andre James, Broncos Lloyd Cushenberry …most of them are looking at three years…from 7.5 to 9-Rocks…Cushenberry is projected at 12.5-rocks…4 at 50 34.5-guaranteed…Shelton’s market value is listed at 3 for 16…5.33-rocks per year…I’ll dance with that…right now Shelton is 28, but 29 when the season starts.
Note: Bills just put veteran Mitch Morse in the street…he’s 32 with some miles…but a lot of experience.
Draft:…Michigan’s Drake Nugent #5th-round…Arkansas’ Beaux Limmer (6-5/307) 4th-round…Georgia’s Sedrick Van Tran (6-4/310) 3rd-round…West Virginia’s Zach Frazier (6-3/310) he’s moved into high-second round…All these guys were three year starters.
The slam dunk for everyone is Oregon’s Jackson Powers-Johnson …only one full year as a starting center… 6-3/320…some saying more like 335…At the end of the college football season he was locked in at 50-60 overall…now he’s projected as a first-rounder.
Anxious to see if there’s any lingering Creed Humphrey anger if the Rams passing on Jackson Powers-Johnson if they have an opportunity to draft him…
