Rams’ starting five along offensive line seem to lack pedigree

The starting five along the offensive line seem to be taking shape for the Los Angeles Rams.

Alaric Jackson is pulling ahead from Joe Noteboom in the battle for the starting role at left tackle. Coleman Shelton is running in front of Brian Allen at center. Steve Avila has been penciled in at left guard from the beginning, and Tremayne Anchrum has taken the majority of reps at right guard while Logan Bruss made a seemingly permanent position change from guard to tackle.

As of right now, and barring injuries, the starting offensive line in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks would be the following:

LT - Alaric Jackson

LG - Steve Avila

C - Coleman Shelton

RG - Tremayne Anchrum

RT - Rob Havenstein

One of my first takeaways when evaluating this group of linemen is the fact that two are former undrafted rookie free agents (Jackson, Shelton) and Anchrum is a former seventh round pick.
