Probably have to use our 3rd on him.
Primarily a ORT prospect with some ability to swing may be the one of the OT's Snead was speaking of back in February that could start inside & move later to the outside. & yes appears that he would be in the area of our #87 selection.

Interesting considering that young havenstein has been pretty dependable there . Makes you wonder if they aren't willing to pay him long termPrimarily a ORT prospect with some ability to swing may be the one of the OT's Snead was speaking of back in February that could start inside & move later to the outside. & yes appears that he would be in the area of our #87 selection.

Originally Kromer wanted to move Havenstein inside to RG but was unable to find a suitable replacement. Like I said in my post above Snead had discussed drafting OT with the plan to play them early @ OG as they progressed shift them back outside.Interesting considering that young havenstein has been pretty dependable there .

As a Ducks fan, I think Crosby has good upside. The Ducks traditionally haven't really bulked up their linemen NFL style. Bringing Crosby in and have him start off as a reserve RG. Have him hit the weights and diet in NFL fashion, then move him to RT after a year. I just think OLB to replace Quinn is a bigger need.

I think that Havenstein proved to be a good young NFL Right Tackle for the Rams. I would imagine that of the three starting 2019 UFA's Ram OL'ers that Havenstein would stand the best chance of the three to be retained here after this season. Rams OL needs to be highly talent maintained if Goff is to be successful in the NFL.

I definitely don't think it is a given that both Havenstein and Brown are retained next year. O linemen are needed by most every team, and are paid huge amounts in free agency if teams think they are good. Playing on the Rams and being coached by Kromer may be making both look better than they actually are. So Snead has to prepare for it.
I don't see Crosby as a top 40 talent, but he could go that early I guess because there is a league wide shortage of starting caliber Olinemen. In a deeper OLine draft, he'd be available in round 3.
I LOVE the idea of Crosby at #87. I think it's realistic too that he'd be there. It depends on which mock/expert you believe.
The idea of re-signing ALL 3 FAs from the OL is a pipe dream. It is best to prepare for losing 1 or more of those guys. As it stands right now, who would YOU go after if you were a GM? I think Havs would be the guy.
Best to be prepared.
I'd try to keep all. If I can't, I'd let Saffold walk. He's the oldest. I think we need to be preparing for life after Whitworth ASAP. He might opt to retire after 2018 if we win the Super Bowl. There's also the possibility that he hits that wall that all older players eventually hit.
TBH any of the Tackles you draft this year need work. Most at best, even the ones that will be drafted high, need work and likely are RT or swings. If you take one of these you hope to develop the LT skills but could settle for them being a backup or manning the right side. Parker has his own issues to work through as do Crosby, Weatherby, Christian whom I also like, Paris, Jones-Smith and Cappa to name a few that could be 3rd-6th rounders.It just makes good football sense to build depth on the OLine !!
This is the season because of the gap. I’m not sold on everyone right now .
Crosby imhasnvalue with The Sams pick . I like the NC OT better though.
Dude from Humblot needs to to get bigger ! Might be worth the pick .
