In you opinion dr, any reason in particular that stands out as to why the rams can't seem to build a respectable line?
With all of the money and draft picks used on this line you would have thought we would have found a few nuts by now.

Several reasons...yes.
I didn't think much of Loney, and I already have seen improvement in Saffold, and the departed Smith. J. Brown majorly regressed under Loney, as did most of our lineman, including Saffold, and Dahl. I thought Bell played pretty well, he graded out about the same as Dahl. If players aren't developing, they are regressing.
J. Smith just ended up being a bad pick in a bad draft at the top. I don't even know if it really anyone's fault, but a better coach to begin with, and who knows the kind of player he could have been. Saffold should be fine, not perfect, but fine.
I think we found a nut with Rok Watkins, and Mattison is serviceable. I really like Turner, so we have decent guard depth, IMO. We made a mistake by not drafting a tackle in this draft. I think that mistake is evident, and I know that you can't fix everything, but Fisher's mission statement was that they would protect Bradford first and foremost. Getting a offensive tackle will be our #1 priority from now until next season. Obviously, we are working the phones.
Why we didn't pick up Jared Gaither last year, I will never understand.
Too many blind squirrels, not enough nuts.
