drafting a potential starter at LT for the next decade is how you should approach the matter. J Jones could be that answer. You think the Rams are going to win the Super Bowl next year? You think every team is drafting players based on how they will immediately help the team's chances that year? That is not how you build teams. Look at the programs that take a long term approach and you can separate the contenders vs the pretenders. Also, one never knows how a season will unfold and predict injuries, but linemen almost always get injured, so I am pretty confident that if Rams drafted J Jones, he would have found his way onto the field this season.

For some reason this Rams braintrust doesn't believe in stocking the OL with top level talent. As Snead said they think they've got guys who have the potential to be possibly solid sometime down the road, or some such nonsense.

I vividly remember right before the Ravens game, Louis Riddick saying the Ravens were gonna destroy the Rams upfront. The difference in the trenches was glaring, and how this did not leave a lasting impression on McVay is perplexing to me. I thought for sure he would insist on addressing the OL in the draft before the 7th round.

But, hey, lets watch what happens this year. It's probably a throw away year anyway for this team.
