Starting offensive tackles seller’s market

Many teams need offensive linemen this year. That’s why the NFL Free Agency market for young offensive linemen was so aggressive this year.  And it’s why may mock drafts suggest that six offensive tackles will come off the board in round one of the 2020 NFL Draft. All of these independent forces are creating a solid market for the LA Rams to pursue fielding calls for right tackle Rob Havenstein.

The Rams are committing to a youth movement along their offensive line. While many NFL teams are trying to find 2020 starters, the Rams have a luxury of drafting in 2020 for 2021 starters.  That is the reason why the team re-signed Austin Blythe and Andrew Whitworth. But adding them, plus center Coleman Shelton, to the existing roster has the Rams loaded with players who may have starting potential in 2020, but who will need time both in practice and in the preseason to get there.
