Rams still looking for left tackle help
Two years ago, the Rams drafted Joseph Noteboom as a potential replacement for Andrew Whitworth, whenever he decided to retire. Noteboom rode the bench and learned as a rookie in 2018, but he was thrust into the starting lineup at left guard last season.
In the 2019 draft, the Rams selected Bobby Evans as another candidate to replace Whitworth sometime down the line. He played right tackle last season and could still take over for Whitworth at some point, but Whitworth just signed a three-year extension this offseason.
Even with Noteboom and Evans on the roster, the Rams could still draft another tackle this year.
“When you step into a draft and say, ‘You have to find your next left tackle.’ It doesn’t matter where you’re picking, that may be hard to do. I think just like in drafts past, if there’s a potential player that can maybe have a shot to replace ‘Big Whit’ in time,” Snead said. “We’ve done it with Joe Noteboom, we’ve drafted Bobby Evans, we can do it again this year. Goal would be, draft someone who can be versatile, not only a left tackle, but as many players that can play left tackle as possible is always good.”
