Most likely Jrry 32 you may do not know that you & I have been in full agreement dL'er Jadeveon Clowney as our 1.2 selection. I also agree that Snead may be able to regroup on the OL with draft picks 1.13, 2.44, 3.75 & 4.#103. It would make Snead work extrahard to find a self ready OT/OG but possible the best prospect IMO would be Zack Martin @ 1.13 or maybe Taylor Lewan. Both have never played OG. I not all that please with Lewan & his past body of work. They could perform a reach for OLT Cyrus Koundjio or Morgan Moses NOT a good thing. Looks he would be forced to select Martin cuz Lewan would not be able to start @ an OG post early in the season.
This jrry32 off the hip mock 2014 OL is not probable its more like
highly unlikely 2014 Ram OL. The 2014 OL as it is today is a great example of TURNSTILE OL!

David Yankey is the top rated OG by most mock drafts if not the first OG off the boards he will certainly be the second. That 2nd rounder @ #44 where you claim Yankey will be there??
very wishful thinking jrry not your normal way of operation
both Yankey & Xavier Su Filo will be gone. I am hoping DB Joyner will be the pick.

Jake Long is not even began his long draw out rehabbing effect on a reconstructed right knee & we are drinking all the Ram Org. PC koolaid that Long's right knee will be as good as before without any setbacks, plus he will jump off the training table & start the first regular season game with little or none prep time. Yep I sure all our 2014 RDE's are shaking in their Nike's right now in fear.

Rodger Saffold returning to StLouis? the same team who has had to deal with Saffold's history? This same team that has had to move OL'ers around & sign several high priced UFA OL'ers just to play & start @ Saffold's OLT post....
that Saffold resulted from his
very short list of injuries..... (See below the
short list of his
few injuries & try to find a real reason why the Rams org. will overpay for many yrs to come in cap funds for more of that injury drama.) Add to that you may want to throw in that Snead has current injury concerns & worry with other 3 other high $$ cost UFA' OL'ers. Saffold is certainly no turnstile but the Ol'ers that have to replace him would be !
2010 rookie season missed parts of two games
9/17/10-Back Injury missed many practices
11/14/10-Ankle Sprain missed rest of game
11/21/10-Shoulder Bruise missed rest of game
2011 second year missed 7 full games & parts of two other total 9 games
10/16/11-Ankle Sprain missed rest of game
11/13/11-#1 Head Concussion missed rest of game
11/18/11-Pectorial tears missed rest of the 2011 season
2012 third season missed 6 full games & parts of 2 other total 8 games
9/9/12-#2 Head Concussion/Neck Sprain first preseason game missed the next two games
9-16-12-Knee grade 3 sprain to MCL missed 6 games
12-10-12-Back Injury missed rest of game.
2013 4th season Saffold only finished 8 games that he started.
8/8/13- Shoulder Dislocation 1st preseason game missed rest of preseason.
9/15/13- Beginning of the 2nd quarter of the 2nd game injured Knee Sprain to MCL lost his starting post @ ORT to Barksdale when Saffold walked on the field 5 weeks later Saffold was a reserve OL'er & rotated in on some of 3 games series. When Dahl was injured reserve Saffold filled in & started 7 games for Harvey Dahl until Saffold was injured with his 3rd Head Concussion in the last game.
Looks to me the 3rd & 4th round picks would have to be Ol'ers targeted like Gabe Jackson,
Joel Bitonio or with the 3rd pick & then follow up in the 4th @103 looking for
Brandon Thomas, Billy Turner, James Hurst or Jawuan James in the 4th, to build up that OL with so many missing pieces.
