Are the Rams trying to get bigger on the offensive line?

One of the biggest criticisms of the Los Angeles Rams offensive line over the past few years is how light of a group that they’ve been. Due to the zone-blocking scheme of the Sean McVay offense, the Rams have typically targeted lighter offensive linemen as it’s easier for these players to move in space.

Up until this past offseason, the Rams hadn’t drafted a single offensive lineman heavier than 320-pounds. The heaviest player that they drafted was Jamil Demby at 319-pounds and they selected him in 2018 in the sixth-round.

Now, Being a heavier offensive line, doesn’t guarantee success and being a light offensive line doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get pushed around.
