āFormer Rams quarterback Jim Everett has another spot in mind for the Rams at No. 13 overall: offensive line.
In an interview with Action Network, Everett pointed out that four of the Ramsā five offensive linemen are only under contract through the 2026 season. Coleman Shelton, Steve Avila, Kevin Dotson and Warren McClendon Jr. are all set to be free agents in 2027 if they donāt re-sign with the Rams beforehand, which is a slight problem for Los Angeles.ā
āBoston & Rodriguez would be an incredible outcome in my opinion. But Iād probably take any combo of players at 28 & 38 vs 13.
I like lemon. I think heāll be a real good player. I just think adding 28 & 38 is better for our short & long term roster than just adding 13. The exception would be if the rams feel like a foundational type of player slips to usā¦
