Los Angeles Rams 2021 draft preview: Center of attention Finding an anchor of the offensive line a draft priority for L.A. Author: Apr 21, 2021 With Austin Blythe moving on in free agency, center is the most obvious need for the Los Angeles Rams with a little over a week before the start of this year’s draft. Of course, the Rams do not have a first-round selection. Brian Allen is penciled in as the starter for the Rams at center heading into the draft, but he has not played in two years due to a knee injury that required surgery. The Rams don’t necessarily have to select a center with their top pick in the second round because the draft is deep at interior offensive line, according to NFL draft analysts. But they likely should get a young developmental prospect in the fold by Day 2 of the draft.
