The Rams lost a significant piece from their offense around the middle of the regular season when wide receiver Cooper Kupp tore his ACL in a November win over the Seahawks.Kupp’s loss didn’t stop the Rams from making it to the Super Bowl Aqib Talib Jersey , but the unit was a more prolific one before Kupp’s injury than it was over the back end of the schedule. That makes head coach Sean McVay’s update about Kupp’s status a positive one.McVay said on Thursday that the Rams “feel really good” about how Kupp will rebound as things have been moving forward at a good rate this offseason.“He’s making great progress. He’s one of the most conscientious players that I’ve ever seen. He’s already worried about, ‘Am I going to miss some things in OTAs?’ — things like that,” McVay said. “But talking to Dr. [Neal] ElAttrache and [trainer] Reggie Scott Marcus Peters Jersey , he’s in great shape and right on pace to be ready to go, especially with training camp.”Kupp had 40 catches for 566 yards and six touchdowns in eight games last year. Could the Rams pick an offensive lineman early?"Options. Plenty of options.Options seem to be the theme of the Los Angeles Rams’ offensive line moving forward. As we sit today, the projected starters across the offensive line goes:LT Andrew WhitworthLG Joe NoteboomC Brian AllenRG Austin BlytheRT Rob HavensteinObviously Brandin Cooks Jersey , both 2018 NFL Draft picks Joe Noteboom and Brian Allen are projected to be inserted in the starting lineup due to the loss of LG Rodger Saffold in free agency, and the cutting of veteran C John Sullivan.So what does this mean for the 2019 NFL Draft?Well, it brings us back to the “options” portion of this article.The Rams currently sit at pick #31 in the first round Ndamukong Suh Jersey , and though most probably expect a trade down, the Rams are in a prime spot to land a plug-and-play offensive lineman (even with a trade down). My big board had multiple offensive lineman such as centers Erik McCoy and Garret Bradbury, and guards Chris Lindstrom and Dalton Risner as potential options with the top pick. All four prospects could step in and start day one. What separates them though Dante Fowler Jersey , could be the Rams’ plans for the future.Andrew Whitworth is likely to retire post-2019. Austin Blythe only has one year remaining on his contract. And Noteboom and Allen have yet to really be cemented into a certain position. If the Rams view Allen as the surefire future at center, they may opt to select a guard with the top pick. If they view Noteboom as a quality starting guard and Blythe a long-term solution at right guard, they could opt to select the top center on the board. Or they could throw a total curveball and plan on moving Blythe to center and replacing him with a guard.The options are truly endless. What is certain is that the Rams have plenty of options between quality players that span multiple positions across the offensive line. So for a team that lost two veteran offensive lineman (one of tremendous quality) in one offseason C.J. Anderson Jersey , they could remain in a great position across the offensive line.
