Sure, they all played great at the end of the season, two seasons ago. But, the schedule was weak and there is no reason to take those five games as sure-fire evidence of what we have going. Past that we clearly have need for a young tackle. By my count that leaves us with a lot of uncertainty at starting tackle, center, left guard, and first-tackle off the bench.

I also don't think I'd rank our "worst starters" the same way you would. I do something like this on defense:

What is your point? Do you feel more comfortable evaluating players in this years draft coming into the NFL or guys who have NFL experience. I think the coaches know what kind of players they have on the OL.

You gave the OL credit for playing well and then decided the schedule was too weak to fully evaluate? WHAT???????

I believe the Rams know what kind of players they have on the line the only question the Rams and most of us fans have are they capable of playing a whole season together?
