How many will be premier performers in 2024? According to Dave Brugler, there is a LOT of talent in this season's draft ... I can see many of the "1st's" dropping down into the 2nd round. All of this talent available means there will be some very good vets on waivers and as FA's ... Do the Rams go for a solid FA? or do they wait for a very good OT to fall to them in the mid rounds of the draft? What the hell, why not go for blue chip at #19?I'd love to know what the Rams strategy is at this position.1. JOE ALT Notre Dame 1st 2. OLU FASHANU Penn State 1st3. JC LATHAM Alabama 1st 4.

But there are a few others that are very good. Only a couple project to high level LT. But who really knows. The Rams only have 2 LTs under contract through this season unless McClendon can play on the left side. I think he and Bruss are strictly RTs. So there is a need for sure. 1 by ramsww 3 weeks 15 hours ago Total posts: 475 Joined: Aug 11 2022 LA Coliseum Starter State of the Union: ... er State of the OT's POST #5 ramsman34 wrote:I think they might be targeting Alt in a trade up. a Jax is on a 1-year deal.
