The offensive line reigned supreme early in free agency for the Los Angeles Rams. Following the team’s Super Bowl victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, the Rams shifted their focus to re-signing Brian Allen, Joseph Noteboom, and Coleman Shelton.
Meanwhile, Andrew Whitworth announced his retirement from the NFL (hence the decision to sign Noteboom to a long-term deal), and Austin Corbett joined the Carolina Panthers. While the loss of Whitworth could loom large in a variety of ways, Corbett’s departure makes addressing the interior of the offensive line in the 2022 NFL draft a probable outcome for the Rams.
With everyone looking forward to the draft later this month, I’ve begun doing draft prospect profiles for players that Los Angeles could target in this year’s draft, beginning with interior offensive linemen. The first three guys I talked about were Cole Strange, Ed Ingram, and Luke Fortner.

The fourth interior offensive lineman on the list is Cade Mays out of Tennessee.
