Mine isn't corner, and yes, Ramsey at a decent price would be good. Man, we have AJ dealing with blood clots and we keep signing several jags (IMHO) at OT, and we still have McClendon as our #2 RT. I think we are truly exposed by the lack of quality depth at OT.
If it doesn't look much better by mid camp, I'd be fine even if we had to invest a mid rounder for a quality swing OT. We've done so many great moves in this post season, but we just can't go into this season being so very thin at OT.

Seems like OL has been our only downfall during the McVay era. In 2019 Noteboom & Allen (injury prone) for Saffold & Sullivan. In 2022, 14 different OL combos and 16 different starting O lineman. What's that saying about learning from history?

It always comes down to OL not just the Rams. Hard to function as a offense with a beat up line. Hope AJ is ok and we can get all them playing together going into the season. Def the biggest concern.

[BobCarl]

do we have trade bait ... or maybe plenty of salary cap space available to get someone for when teams cut down to 53?

OL and corner have been the consensus biggest needs since the season ended. The consensus is probably right but Rams tend to know what they're doing...

I honestly feel the CBs will be fine if they stay healthy at the position. Forbes has the potential to be another Ramsey like CB. By reports he's come a long way in one year.

IMO if Humphries can return to his pre-injury form the Rams will be okay at LT. The wild card is KT Leveston. He looks to have better feet than McClendon and better arm length than Alaric which gives him better play radius. His issue is being raw in his technique. How much he was able to absorb while on IR last year and how he looks in TC could be huge for the Rams.

IMO people actually believe the BS about Jackson being 6'7". Funny at his Pro Day he measure 6'5.5" with 33" arms while Leveston is 6'4" with 34" arms.

So when people say Leveston is undersized I have to wonder by what metric? I'd rather have a guy with less height and longer arms than the reverse.

But IMO the big factor is whether Humphries is able to return to his pre-injury form? If he can, he's better than Jackson. IMO it's an area of concern but not panic depending on how Humphries and Leveston look.

I think we will know how the Rams feel about the OL, specifically the tackles as camp unfolds. If they don’t like what they see from who they have, they will be on the phone trying to get something done. Not sure if they will have a chance to get anything done at that point. I doubt AJax plays this season. One of the vets recently acquired will have to man the LT spot.

Really, I thought it was more likely that he would play by the time the season starts. This is a massive concern if true. Trade would be the only way to upgrade/stabilize the position.....

Quite honestly, I think we don't know jack shit, no matter how we dress it up in type, and the coaching staff does.

Like you say, 34, we'll see how the staff reacts and then we'll have an idea.

They signed 2 tackles around the same time the information concerning the clots was released. Beyond that it's anybody's guess.

Does AJ play?
Are our existing OTs up to the task if he doesn't?
Do they go out and get somebody else?
Does this torpedo our season?

Stay tuned......

Going into 2023 a lot of people were saying, take away Kupp and the Rams have the worst WR room in the NFL. Coop went down, there was this guy Puka and well turns out that wasn't true.

So i agree CB and OL sure seem like pretty big question marks but we don't really know.

We will see soon...
