Rams Need Offensive Line Help at Combine

0:00On March 1st, the Los Angeles Rams are heading into the 2026 NFL Combine with all five starting offensive lineman returning, a strong, group overall. But depth is a real concern, especially behind them, with just 10 lineman under contract right now. They need to add at least five more before training camp to shore things up, and day four of the Combine focuses on these big guys. At center, veteran Coleman Shelton is back after a year away with 60 straight starts under his belt, though he turns 31 this summer on a deal that's winding down. The back up has barely seen action, scouts like Michigan State's Matt Goldman as a versatile option with solid run blocking and experience at multiple interior spots from his college, days at Wake Forest and Michigan State. Guards look steadier up front, but backups have limited snaps. Arkansas's Fernando Carmona stands out here, a tall athletic former tight-in who started 49 straight college games across two schools.

1:01His quick feet and power make him a fit for both run schemes and pass protection with some tackle experience too. Tackle depth is the thinnest, with veterans who haven't stood out much. Texas A&M's Trey Zoom brings elite pass blocking skills from 50 college starts, though he might need strength gains and could slide inside if. Arm length is an issue. His smarts and picking up rushes give him starter potential down the line. Meanwhile, Goldman's nursing a minor injury from his final college game, so no drills for him today, but his tapes still intrigues. These prospects could help plug gaps fast, setting the rams up better for competitive draft and can't push.
