yep - most likely...
I for see a lot of running plays Left, behind our 2 best run blockers

Your forgetting Saffold looked like a probowler playing RG last year? Man this line has the potential to be the best in the league in pass blocking and run blocking.
As long as those picks are LATER if the Rams don't think current depth is adequate.Runblockers = Fisher's favorite thing.
Long - Robinson - Wells - Saffold - Barksdale
I would like two more solid line picks to fill in for inevitable injuries so that we have Robinson able to play RT/LT, Saffold RT/LT and then add Guards from there.
So are we going to have 4 Tackles starting on the line for us next year with Long at LT, Robinson at LG, Saffold at RG and Barsdale at RT? is that what they are projecting right now?
I'm not going to be surprised if we also add another Guard. This is something I've felt we needed to address for some time. We need a beastly O-line in this division.
I'm all for getting more depth... at appropriate draft slots to draft depth. Not with our 2nd rounder and hopefully not with our 3rd rounder either.They are doing the right thing. Getting the guys now to prepare for the future. long and Wells are not getting any younger. They are setting themselves up to not miss a beat in the depth dept. in case of injury and good to go when the older guys are finally done. As THIS team well knows .... you can NEVER have enough depth.
Yeah - I'd be more expecting them to take a Guard for real depth and as you say, maybe a multi-dimensional O-lineman is the reality. I'm not saying it is their next pick or anything but I really think they are going to take a guard/OL at some point over the weekend.We will know soon enough here what their desires are...if they draft stickily a OG like a Gabe Jackson or a Xavier Su'a-Filo then we know who be our swing OT is .....Barrett Jones. I do not see Boudreau using the second overall draft selection in the 2014 draft as the back up swing OT. I do not see them bouncing GR from spot to spot as a rookie. Best to insert and cement Robinson where you want and leave him there if possible. Of course Jake Long rehabbing event will have some say so on that. But using a current Ram OL'er who won the Outland Trophy in 2011 playing & starting @ Left OT for the NCAA championship team till Jake Long is fully recovered & in full football playing shape is not all that bad of an option if they fail to draft a OT.
IMO the Snead need to look more in the direction of an OT/OG type player tonight like Joel Bitonio, David Yankey or a Billy Turner.
