Looking at Havenstein, I would disagree about trade value. They're not going to net a lot for him but if they could get a 6th for Greg Robinson in 2017 they can get a 5th for Havenstein. He, at least, has a track record of having played well in 2015, 2017 and 2018. I'm not necessarily advocating for a trade but someone would want him- especially a team after the Draft that does not get an OT on days 1 or 2 or even afterward (Robinson was traded in June '17).
People have said "well, if Whitworth will take $7-9M..." But to me they can't afford that either. Whitworth is off the books for 2020 so $7-9M is not saving money, it's shelling out $7-9M... I think the Rams have to move on. Noteboom should play tackle- either starting at LT or as the swing backup. But he's not a guard.
I am all for re-signing Blythe at center IF they can add a big, strong LG. Someone brought up Bills' LG Quinton Spain the other day. Not saying he's the guy but someone like him that won't command a big salary and has size and experience would fit the bill. I'm also in favor of drafting one of the top 2 centers but picking 52nd overall it's risky they will be there. Could have to move up 10 spots to get one. Last year 3 centers went in the top 48 and the year before 3 went in the top 40. Yet in 2017 the first center off the board didn't happen until #58. So who knows...
Really curious what the Rams staff thinks about Corbett. He played better than I expected he would coming in but is he a viable 2020 starter? Personally I'd love the OL to shake out where Corbett and Allen were the 6th and 7th guys.
