Ok...I think it is more than fair to say this is (other than QB) our most urgent need.
I don't think I can go through another season of high snaps from Scott Wells without getting ulcers. I really think we need to improve starting at the center moving to the right.
I think Barksdale is good enough to be a starter as long as he is our weakest lineman...but when he is our most durable and 3rd best blocker I think that is a problem. I think this season has proved he is a capable starter but would probably be great as a swing tackle/3rd tackle. I wonder if he has the body and skills that perhaps he could move inside to guard...knowing that he seems to struggle with pass rushers I just wonder if he'd be a better option inside.
I really hope the Rams sign a player (and not just some aging veteran) and use the draft as well.
Thoughts?
