At center, their best option will likely end up being signing a veteran FA like Mack (or even re-signing Blythe) for one year while drafting a kid like Meinerz to develop behind him.
A question I have is about Evans. He held his own well at RT in 2019 and then quickly lost the LG competition to Edwards in 2020 and didn't really look good there when he got some time there late in the season. Is it that he's really a pure RT? Did he regress? Financially the best thing for the Rams I think would be Evans being able to take over at RT and trading Havenstein. But again unknowns there.
I am intrigued about Anchrum, a guy I thought was a great value pick in the late 7th last year and a perfect example of a guy who needs a full real offseason (OTAs, camp, preseason). Could he compete for a starting OG role? At least be the primary backup at guard? I don't think he's an NFL RT.
I'm good with Noteboom as the 3rd OT. Time is up on Allen and Demby. I would let them go next week.
A lot to unpack there, 93.
Totally agree that a 2nd tier vet at C should be job one. Meinerz would be a terrific draft pick to start as soon as ‘22.
About Boom and Evans. It seems that neither are gonna ever be quality OG’s but both could well be quality OT’s. That ain’t a bad thing.
I’m already on record as leaning toward a Hav trade to gain cap room for other needed positions.
Anchrum intrigues me, too. I think he might have a future as a possible starter at C or either OG positions. That’s hugely valuable.
Can’t wait to see how this OL under Carberry shakes out. Gonna be a whole lotta tinkering goin’ on, I’ll bet.
