Great read, dz. I love the way your mind works. Lol.
My only real disagreement is with regard to signing an expensive vet OG such as either Thuney or Scherff. I just don’t see either as affordable to the Rams. I see the Rams either signing a 2nd tier FA or just rolling with a player already on the roster. Probably Corbett or Evans (if Hav wins back the starting RT spot.
Time will tell us how the Rams feel about their OL situation.
Great post, man.
Thanks for the feedback 43.
I can see other approaches to the OL situation. A 2nd tier FA is one of them as is going with one of the young guys.
As far as what is affordable, that's a matter of choices. My plan essentially signs a top guard versus retaining one of Littleton and Fowler.
IMO, pairing a top guard with the young pieces we already have nearly ensures that we have a top 5 OL next year and going forward. OTOH, I feel that with Matthews and OBO we can withstand the loss of Fowler. With a draft focused on defensive players I think we can replace both Fowler and Littleton.
But yeah, how they feel about their OL situation is the issue of the offseason. Everything pretty much rides on that assessment.
