He finished his USC career at Center. SO - imo at his size playing center might be his best position?

He handle himself well a UDRFA.A true surprise,and he helped keep things together for The Rams.

Competition is good,but Shelton only brings a positive to The O”Line.

Yeah, with Limmer, Shelton and McMahon I think three battling at C is enough, but, who knows?
I like the potential of both Dedich and McMahon but who knows what the coaches think of their potential.

I didn't think we needed a center that much, especially not Shelton. I think Limmer, Dedich, and McMahon were a solid group, and you still have guys like Leveston who could show out at guard.

I'm currently hoping we take a chance on Jedrick Wills as a swing tackle, if we're not taking one in the draft. Just, please no more Noteboom.

Id certainly like to add a swing tackle as well.
Im not familiar with the OL in this draft yet at all really.....I am sure Noteboom is gone.
He will sign somewhere as OL depth is just too hard to come by.
Really interesting draft coming up and off season so far.

Who was The Rams staters at LT in the 2024 preseason? I’m not going to try to out think The Rams front office on Shelton,but I’ll agree with the signing & IMO The Rams would have done SO much better with him as a starting Center last season.
I bought into the Kool-Aide with Joesph though.Can’t believe how much he regressed & couldn’t stay healthy at all.
-I believe this article in most points.T” White was the worst,but D. Williams when healthy showed up well.To think no mention of Whiterspoon & how he came back & saved The Rams season more SO than Higbee???? Shelton though was a starting NFL Center.Some seem to forget or short change him.

Some Rams free agency misfires in 2024 may have cost them SB LIX victory

When the Los Angeles Rams pivoted from a promising 2023 NFL season to the 2024 NFL Free Agency market, the team had very high hopes of Super Bowl contention. Af

Agree or disagree, Rams seem to want to recreate the chemistry and communication of the 2023 oline who together were a top 5 unit by the end of the year. Les says it all right there.

 

[OldSchool]

That's unfortunate, would have preferred an upgrade

 

[Ram Ts]

I wonder if Shelton was part of the Stafford contract discussions/ negotiations. Meaning he’s someone that he wanted back due to too many call issues with the rookie. So Snead agreeing to bring him back help get Stafford on board without a significant salary/contract adjustment. Idk Food for thought

 

[Allen2McVay]

Three excerpts from Cameron DaSilva's article on the Coleman Shelton signing ...

" The primary reason the Rams signed Shelton was to improve the communication up front, something that cost them in the playoff loss to the Eagles when Jalen Carter had a free run at Matthew Stafford on back-to-back plays late in the fourth.

If not for the miscommunication that allowed Carter to sack Stafford quickly, the Rams might’ve won that game because Tyler Higbee had broken open across the middle on third-and-2 when Los Angeles was at the Eagles’ 13-yard line.

It’s possible that sack, as well as the quick pressure fourth down, lingered in the minds of Sean McVay and Snead as reasons to seek an upgrade at center."

I'm strongly agreeing on it.

Interesting. Novice fans like myself are probably thinking why not go for someone like Ryan Kelly for a little more $$. But no one knows what Shelton brings to the table better than McSnead. So I trust that they picked the better option based on ability vs cost. So other than a depth pick at OT (Rookie, McClendon, Noteboom at vet minimum) I believe the Rams feel they are solid at OL for 2025.

I am luke warm on this at best

 

[LA_Rams_#29]

I'll say this. Young Limmers took a job as a rookie... he can take a job now.

It's a win win for us

I highly doubt bringing back Shelton had anything to do with Stafford coming back. Makes zero sense to me.

Lets sign Faulk while we are at it then!

Not sure you read my comments - maybe you jumped to a conclusion. I didn’t mean whatsoever that it had something to do with him coming back or not. I said Stafford wanted him (over what he had in 2024) and possibly requested him to return (and maybe accepted less money to do so).

You literally said, "I wonder if Shelton was part of the Stafford contract discussions/ negotiations. Meaning he’s someone that he wanted back due to too many call issues with the rookie. So Snead agreeing to bring him back help get Stafford on board...". How did I misinterpret that? Lol.....now could Stafford have suggested a vet center as an upgrade for communication purposes after he signed? Possibly, but him specifically requesting Shelton doesn't seem very believable to me at least. I hope I'm dead ass wrong about Shelton by the way but I'm not super confident on that one. Hopefully Limmer truly improves by leaps and bounds but that's also no guarantee.
