1. Offensive Line

This is technically five different positions, but the offensive line as a whole needs a major facelift. Rob Havenstein is likely locked into the right tackle position, but besides him, the other four spots are up for grabs. Greg Robinson has consistently proven that he cannot be the option at left tackle. He may slot into the left guard spot, but that is still a major question nonetheless.

Rodger Saffold has been playing guard but is likely the best as a tackle. Aside from that, their center and guard positions are filled with replacement level players or lower. There is a good chance that the Rams will bring in at least three new faces, and it could come at tackle, guard, and center.

At guard, the team should be looking for a big splash to boost the run game. Kevin Zeitler, T.J. Lang, and Ron Leary would be great additions and would give the interior a big boost. At tackle, they could be looking at Kelvin Beachum, and at center, J.C. Tretter may be the best option available.

They also should be looking to the draft to fill these holes. Unfortunately, they have lost a lot of draft equity, and there will only be so much they can do there. Offensive line is going to need a complete makeover this offseason. Whether it be the draft, free agency or a mix of both, expect the Rams to go all in when it comes to making adjustments and improvements along the line.
