When you move mountains to upgrade from a Corvette (Goff) to a Ferrari (Stafford), why would you skimp on the tires (Blythe)?
Seems like they’re leaning toward a placeholder C via FA and drafting their future starter.
Well, that strategy has risks. First, they’re counting on a stud C being there at their pick AND hoping that he’s so good that he could be starting by midseason. Those are a couple of big ‘If’s’.
Other than Sully for a season and a half, who and when was the last really good C that the Rams have enjoyed?
Obviously, one would expect Stafford to more quickly be able to thrive in his new O if he didn’t have the opponents in his lap every other pass play. Fingers crossed that we get a decent C for those critical early games next season.
