With the 250th pick in the NFL draft the Los Angeles Rams select Tremayne Anchrum G Clemson

[fearsomefour]

All the top teams with much better Oline than the Rams beefed up in the offseason.

Ravens- early draft picks
Saints - early draft
49ers - Williams

I predict this is Mcvays undoing honestly.

Could be.
Yet to be seen if it’s a blind spot or not.
The performance of the line this year will go a long way toward this being determined true or not.

Is he physical or soft?

I care less about that than can he be effective.
Run blockers that can be physically imposing in the running game are rare in the NFL.
But at the end of the day a shield, redirection block can be just as effective as locking on and driving someone.

Of 76 isn’t retired then I have no problem with the kid wearing it. Sorry big O you got nothing to complain about.

I think it's more that he didn't ask to wear it first. It's probably one of those traditional locker room rules where you should research a number and request permission from franchise greats if necessary.

It’s not retired he has no need to ask. If Pace feels it should be retired his beef is with the Rams not Tremayne.

I think that Corbett has the best chance to be a center on our roster - Blythe aside. But Anchrum could easily be a solid backup over, say, Shelton. Allen is up in the air; if he's lost weight due to Covid-19, he might struggle to make the roster...but I'd still put him on the practice squad, if I could (unless he's not eligible, and I'm wrong again, haha.)

You know my thoughts here on this I would go with what we built on over the last half of 2019 that what the OL learned from working together during that period of time in actual stressful games conditions is priceless value moving forward......and Austin Corbett was the blind side OG starter.

I do not see Brian Allen ever being considered as a PS candidate. BA was Kromer's pick to be his starter @ OC 2019, with Kromer having full knowledge that he was placing an enormous amount of weight & stress on Allen where he was surrounded with a total inexperienced LG & the smallest NFL RG in the NFL on the right. In hindsight, it was a master plan for failure!

That noted....RG starter David Edwards as a rookie really glowed for 3 games @ the LG post too. All of Edwards past play experience was @ RT. Edwards could yet be a better LG than RG over the next 3 yrs of his contract too. If by the end of this season rookie Tremayne Anchrum has made great strides & ends up being a 2020 steal (which @ the moment he may be) & is the kind of OL'er @ RG that he was @ RT in college then Edwards could be freed up for 2021 starter @ LG. Tremayne Anchrum challenge is to be better in TC & Preseason than Chandler Brewer, Brian Allen & Coleman Shelton @ several OL positions. Tremayne Anchrum @ this early time is sure to see cross-training @ RG/ RT & LG. That left side will be uncharted territory for him.

If indeed Corbett (is what you & many others believe he is) has the best skills & abilities of all current Ram OL'ers signed for 2021, then with the departure of this yrs projected starter Austin Blythe......Corbett might indeed earned (after 2 seasons as our starting LG) get his shot to be our young starting center in 2021 & beyond. Should I mention that Corbett came into the NFL as the same size as center John Sullivan was 6-4 310 in 2017. I am sure we all like to see that size introduced back in @ OC.
