No. 11 "High floor": Los Angeles Rams
Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports
Projected starters: LT Joseph Noteboom, LG David Edwards, C Brian Allen, RG Logan Bruss, RT Rob Havenstein
The Rams have a big question mark — can Noteboom adequately replace the retired Andrew Whitworth?
They have new starters at two positions entering 2022.
No. 14 "high-end potential": San Francisco 49ers
Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports
Projected lineup: LT Trent Williams, LG Aaron Banks, C Jake Brendel, RG Daniel Brunskill, RT Mike McGlinchey
They must replace Alex Mack at center and Laken Tomlinson at left guard. They have a great situation at tackle.
No. 25 "uninspiring": Arizona Cardinals

Projected lineup: LT D.J. Humphries, LG Justin Pugh, C Rodney Hudson, RG Will Hernandez, RT Kelvin Beachum
Hernandez is the only newcomer and Humphries is coming off his first Pro Bowl appearance, albeit as a replacement. The Cardinals have the fewest questions when it comes to their lineup.
No. 32 "problematic": Seattle Seahawks
Projected lineup: LT Charles Cross, LG Damien Lewis, C Austin Blythe, RG Gabe Jackson, RT Abraham Lucas
They are expected to have two rookie starting tackles. They have a new center. This isn’t ideal for their messy QB competition of Geno Smith and Drew Lock.
