Shelley Smith G STL visiting NYG todayGuy is s MAULER and has GREAT run blocking grades.

The Rams picked up Smith off the scrap heap in 2012, a former sixth-round pick whose early career was limited because of injuries. He was depth, and ended up starting six games in 2012. Last year, he only made two starts but played in 10 games, usually the run-blocking half of a rotation with Chris Williams. His play was enough of a revelation to make teams look ... just not the Rams apparently.
Shelley earned a 12.3 run blocking grade from Pro Football Focus, the second-best mark on the team behind Jake Long. The Rams also have an offense that leans heavily on the running game ... it might be wise to try and hang onto to Smith, especially if keeping Saffold is unlikely.
Could potentially be a very good Guard who can maul a bit in a goal line package or sub package.
He's scheduled to meet with the Patriots Thursday... so let's hope things go great with us.
