    Just wondering.

    Who do you have your eyes on for next season that would be great for us to draft?

    Will we trade Kupp or Woods next year, so Van moves to the number two WR, and Tutu moves to the number three WR?

    Will we have an Offensive line in 2022? If so, what will look like, especially with the possibility of four guys leaving.

    Who will be our Center next season? Tremayne Anchrum has never played the position in his life, by the way

    Speaking only for myself, I will remain fixated on the offensive line until there isn’t a reason to be. I have no idea who the LOT of the future is. Similarly, I don’t know who the centre of the present or the future is. I can’t even wrap my head around what happens if some guys leave in free agency. Without a first round pick, I don’t see the Rams finding their LOT of the future in next year’s draft, but what do I know. The second round can be a good place to find guys for the interior offensive line though.

    It’s never too early to talk about the draft, BTW.

    They can trade up into round 1 in 2022. Think of the LOTs who have been picked in the 2nd half of round 1 in recent years. Guys like Duane Brown, Joe Staley, Nate Solder, Anthony Castonzo, Ryan Ramczyk (RR plays ROT w/ the Saints but I think he could play left OT). They can target a guy like that and get into the 2nd half of round 1, which I think is doable.

    But…you’re right that the hit rate for finding a college tackle who can play LOT in the NFL is not very good after round 1. I did the math on one 10 year period ending in 2017, and the hit rate was 5%.

    You can’t count in free agency either.
