After watching the Rams first two games of the season, it seems pretty obvious that we need to bring in some personnel on the O-line. Free agency is always an option, but it's one the Rams haven't really explored much in recent years. Yes, I know McMichael and Witherspoon and Bell and Becht, etc., but we don't make a splash in free agency.
With that in mind, I'll run through some of the best linemen in college so we can keep an eye on them throughout the rest of the college season.
O-line prospects after the fold.

Obviously, you have to gravitate towards the tackles, and those top three are serious NFL prospects. Andre Smith, being a junior, has less experience and less field time on which we could judge him, so I guess there's a bit more risk in picking him which is why I had him at #2 behind Oher.
