Great post, Merlin. I think you hit all the legit areas of potential concern.
I’m just gonna comment on two of them.
I’m currently just taking on faith that Rams know WTH they’re doing at OC. Their predraft actions (or rather non-actions) demonstrated great confidence in SOMEONE on this roster being a better starting OC than anybody from this draft, including Creed Humphrey. Sure hope they’re right and furthermore hope it’s one of Shelton or Anchrum rather than Corbett. More continuity that way.
I have a higher opinion of Corbett at RG than you do, btw, and expect him to be extended for next year.
We are definitely on the same page at blindside edge. We’ve watched the same games and seen the same shortcomings. I fear that we’re gonna have to ‘make do’ over there for another year. Sigh.
