Joe Curley@vcsjoecurley .@PFF on Brian Allen: "Allen has been one of the best OL in college football each of the past two seasons, but he doesn’t check a ton of NFL boxes physically. Allen is an undersized C who doesn’t quite have the athleticism to make up for the lack of strength. @PFF_Rams Alden Gonzalez@Alden_Gonzalez Brian Allen grew up in the Midwest and spent a lot of timeby RamBill - RamsFootballFans.com

Vincent Bonsignore@DailyNewsVinny I'm not saying the #Rams lit candles last year praying the O-line stayed healthy, but let's just say everyone understood the major break they caught in avoiding injuries on the O-Line as depth was an issue. They are addressing that so far in the draft with an OT and now C. Joe Curley@vcsjoecurley Remember that storyline with Noteboom and Whitworth? Get rby RamBill - RamsFootballFans.com

Alden Gonzalez ESPN Staff Writer One of the scenarios the Rams talked about heading into the draft involved OL Joe Noteboom falling to them at 87/89. The Rams like his athleticism, durability, and the fact that he has experience at both tackle spots.

Vincent Bonsignore@DailyNewsVinny One other thing on #Rams pick of TCU OT Joseph Noteboom: there's a ton of respect in their building for O-line coach Aaron Kromer, who I'm certain chimed in. Between input he provided and the confidence they have in him on the development side, I imagine the conviction was realby RamBill - RamsFootballFans.com
Vincent Bonsignore@DailyNewsVinny FYI on #Rams 3rd round pick Joseph Noteboom, the OT from TCU. Gil Brandt,, who knows what he's talking about, had him ranked No. 72 on his big board.

Rich Hammond@Rich_Hammond Linebacker remains a concern but I think Littleton, Ebukam and Longacre all have good potential. They must build some depth with tomorrow’s picks and UDFAs. Rams’ addition of Noteboom isn’t as “sexy,” as Les might say, but it’s probably smart. Rams had extraordinary luck in 2017 with o-line health. Whitworth is a freak of nature but he’s 36. Prudence wins out.by RamBill - RamsFootballFans.com

Rams GM Les Snead, asked specifically about the edge rushers who could be available to him in Round 4: "We're well aware that we're going to need some depth, probably at that position.
