When Rodger Saffold is fully healthy he should be able to win any of the four Ram OL positions exception of center. I am not so sure he couldn't win that center post too if ordered now to prepare to start there week one. Rodger is by far the smartest & technically sound OL this team has by a large margin. The very sad fact is Rodger is super injury prone & can not remain healthy as a full-time starter thus his play performance suffers greatly when on the field.
If I had my way, Rodger would be fully involved in a tag team the LEFT OT post along with Greg Robinson to ensure that the blind side of our most valuable investment rookie QB Goff is fully taken care of with protection. Both working that post over would make Goff's Sundays so much safer. Let the veteran Garrett Reynolds & Jamon Brown do the same thing on the Left blind side OG post too. Center right side of Barnes/Wichmann & Havenstein are not a concern issue . It would be a good way to utilize that $5 million soundly IMO. Using your most experienced veteran OL'er to protect your rookie QB is just plain smart.
Getting both Robinson & Brown on that left side that extra help would set both these young but still raw OL'ers ready for the 2017 season when both would handle them by themselves.
