A Center being added was essential after Allen & Shelton were injured, and a few of us thought better competition for Kolone could only help our overall OL depth situation prior to Skura's being plucked off the N.Y. Giants practice squad, and like Aboushi, he has plenty of NFL starting experience. A new Center is likely to take a good 6 weeks to learn our system and line calls, so you can bet that Skura is being pushed hard with only Kolone ahead of him on the depth chart as of today. Once Allen returns and if the Rams remain intrigued with Skura, I imagine Carberry will look towards cross-training him as a back-up OG as well. It's my belief that Shelton's destiny has him competing at LG next year for the starting job as Edwards moves on in free agency, although Anchrum and another interior line draft pick may have something to say about that. I fully expect the Rams to draft an OG/C in 2023.
