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.

Agree on Hav. I think he's tradeable after the Rams eat the $2.4M in dead money. They probably wouldn't get a 5th for him but salary relief, not the draft comp would be the point anyway.

If they determine that Noteboom should be the swing backup which allows him to ease back in from his injury, who would be the LT if Whit doesn't return?

  Because Allen is cheap, Blythe won't be so cheap
