I think OL depth is where it could happen too. Final cuts could free up someone that could be an upgrade at G/T over Donnal. Would love to see the Rams add another Garrett Reynolds type.
What a huge stupid mistake that was to let Joe Barksdale go two years ago. WHY? Barksdale is a solid right tackle and has been for the last two years for the Chargers.

With all due respect, Barksdale is not a solid RT. The only thing he does better than average tackles is give up pressures, which he was top-15 in 2015 and top-10 in 2016 with 94 total pressures in those two seasons combined. That is more than Greg Robinson, though I will say that Greg played less snaps than Barksdale and the AFC West is brutal and loaded with pass rushers. The Rams made their offer and he didn't want it since he thought he was worth more and then when he didn't get it, he took a one-year deal at the base minimum instead of going back to the Rams with a hurt ego. His 2015 season was better for the fact that he played in almost 700 pass blocking snaps, but they'd be in the same boat with him.
