I would say there are more teams in need of a starting RT like Havenstein than teams needing a starting center. The 9ers had five centers under contract & still managed to break four of them in 2020.

Well maybe LOGIC is just drafting a Center ?? The Rams have NEW OLINE coaches,so the evaluation is going to be a little different.
Havienstien was like Brockers rumors we predicted. The thing is as the season was ending his name never came up as TRADE-ABLE.His contract is actually Ram friendly?
SILLY thinking is Complaining about The Offensive Line, & then getting rid of One of The Top RT in The NFL.not saying that’s your opinion.
—Right now I don’t see Big Rob being traded ? Isn’t he signed through 2022
with 4 Free Agents after 2021.

Now we here @ ROD know the OL strategy for this upcoming season does not include Austin Blythe our starting OC the last two seasons.

I still believe that IF one or two NFL teams came out of the draft next month still badly in need of a very good starting RT & are willing to trade off their veteran starting OC it will be strongly considered by Snead.

Snead will go into the draft knowing that he has three OL'ers who will be UFA's in 11 months. All three could be considered starters in 2021 RG Austin Corbett, LT Joseph Noteboom & OC Brian Allen. Snead already has several replacements in line for RG & OC (Corbett & Allen) whereas Noteboom (if not resigned) is more of an issue.

Sneads is going to draft two Ol'ers in this upcoming draft. Center is sure to be the priority targetted position. Even with the possible departures in 2022, this Ol cadre should remain strong. It sure appears that 40 yr old Whitworth plans to be here next season even if Noteboom supplants him later this season.

The only question to be answered is who will come out of the Training Camp battle for Blythe's post...either Allen or Shelton are the main 2 starting prospects @ OC. Both have been banging around now entering their 4th season. I would presume there is sure to be a drafted highly prized rookie right in there with them fighting it out too. Not a bad position to be in.

The other four OL posts that surround the OC post remain the same now for two seasons. There's your continuity Snead was speaking of. Both Allen & Shelton have been here together since 2019. Snead Mcvay knows their capabilities.

LT-Whitworth/Noteboom
LG-Edwards/Brewer/Demby
OC-Shelton/Allen/Rookie
RG-Corbett/Anchrum
RT-Havenstein/Evans

Just only need to say WRONG!! Brian Allen took over for John Sullivan 2 years ago.Blythe only took over for him after Allen got hurt.
—Just saying...... so we are now saying he is worse than in 2019??
—BTW we can still talk about Brian Allen as a Guard. Will NEVER HAPPEN in a RAMS JERSEY!!!
