Andrew Whitworth called it a career this offseason, retiring from the NFL after 16 years. Yet, despite losing one of the best left tackles in football, that’s not a position of need for the Rams.
They re-signed Joseph Noteboom to be Whitworth’s heir, and on the opposite side, they have Rob Havenstein manning the right tackle spot. It’s important to have a swing tackle, just as Noteboom was the last two years, but it’s hard to call that one of the Rams’ biggest needs.
In Draft Wire’s new three-round mock draft, Los Angeles adds a starting-caliber left tackle by selecting Nicholas Petit-Frere at No. 104 overall. Petit-Frere played both left and right tackle at Ohio State, which is a huge tackle if he were to get selected by the Rams this month.
