He could anchor the line. All the better to protect Sam.

Depth without a huge contract is rarely a bad thing.http://espn.go.com/blog/st-louis-rams/post/_/id/6304/is-chris-williams-in-rams-2014-plans

But then again Coaches want everyone back this time of the year....Till they find someone better.
Just going to be brutally honest. He was our weak link on the line, but he was also our best option at LG. If not for his ability to spot start, or play some tackle, he wouldn't be here. I really hope that we upgrade that this year. That said, I'd be OK with him as a backup player--only at a cheap price.If they resign Chris Williams which IMO is a good decision due to the pathetic overall condition of our OL currently. CW would be our best starting OG today. Think about that.
Sorry say this but he was the Rams most ineffective starter... matter of fact he has never earned a starting position in all his years @ Chicago a team who was known for having real bad OL for many many years.
CW won his first starting position last season here as a Ram I would credit Boudreau for putting in overtime in CW. CW was the Rams healthiest Ram OL'er and started all 16 games. Your could not say that about Starters Scott Wells, Jake Long, Roger Saffold & Harvey Dahl. If the 2014 season started today CW would be our starting OLT. CW is a real good guy too.
I agree with most of what was said above it would be best if CW was our primary OG back up and our 4th OT.

Anchor, he buries us.Anchor is the perfect description. He certainly drags down the talent of our OL like an anchor.
If he's a backup OG, I'm ok with it. No thanks to him as a starter.
So a O guard in the draft or a tackle?
I rated, and compared him to Saffold, so to me, Guard might be a good position for him....IF he really wants to compete in the N>>>F>>>L>>>.I'm all for former tackles that can play guard...versatility is a great thing to have.
In fact, I know this won't be popular with a lot of folks on the board...but I'd be open to the idea of acquiring Jonathon Martin for the right price. He has experience at both tackle spots and I've heard many "experts" suggest he's probably best suited to play guard.
Unlike the Incognito poison, the worst you can get from Martin is his teammates aren't welcoming of him and he is released. I'd bet you could get him for a future conditional pick that goes no higher than a 6th rounder.
If they resign Chris Williams which IMO is a good decision due to the pathetic overall condition of our OL currently. CW would be our best starting OG today. Think about that.
I would rather not. But I sure as hell hope that Snisher does.
