Hey Leo,
If I may, last year many of us thought that the OLine would be terrible, or at best mediocre but they did ok for themselves. I think we can be a bit confident in McVay and what's he doing with the OLine. Don't give up the ship too early, our coach has earned the benefit of the doubt. I think we can have some hope.
Last year's OL was beaten badly in 4 or 5 games. The most recent example being the Green Bay game.
I trust the Rams coaches and management enough to know they know that, and will make an effort to fix things.

Zn took the words out of my mouth. The offense shrunk as a result as Goff had years of being near the top of the league in yards per attempt but dropped significantly because the line was inconsistent. 20 was better than 19 (fewer injuries) but exposed against good DLines.
I get that Blythe was crucial in his ability to make line calls but he was regularly overpowered even as a guard. Corbett and Edwards played well but neither are dominant. Whit isn't getting younger, Noteboom doesn't seem to be getting stronger, and Havenstein isn't getting better at handling speed rushers. Even our tight ends were inconsistent in their blocking (though Higbee played hurt and Mundt blocks well in limited snaps).
My point is that the line as a whole needs attention. If they wait for a 7th rounder two years in a row, I would come unglued
