ROTs don't grow on trees; it's been noted for a couple of years that ROTs are just a half step behind LOTs in importance because this has turned into a passing league. And because great pass rushers don't just hang out on the offensive left side (Khalil Mack comes to mind) to go against your LOT. You can't just shove anybody in there and coach them up. Kromer has to work with guys who are mentally and physically capable.
I'll take McVay's and Snead's assessment as the correct one.
Nothing grows on trees. And neither do the positions guys play the Rams will have to let go because they gave one of their few big contracts to Hav.
But solid ROTs are one of the easiest positions to find compared to most positions and the reason for that is simple. Of all the college tackles who are capable of playing in the NFL, only a few can play on the left, while all of them can play on the right. There's just more bodies.
And btw in terms of the pass rushers come to the rightside too argument, pass blocking is not Hav's strength. If that's your issue, that's an argument for replacing him. Especially since far more than most positions, ROTs are relatively much easier to replace.
