One of the best parts of the offseason each year is the rollout of “Behind the Grind”, which is the Los Angeles Rams’ video series where fans get an exclusive look inside the building – from free agency to the draft to training camp.
The Rams released Episode 2 of this season and it mostly centered around the 2025 NFL Draft. It started out with Jared Verse receiving his Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and then transitioned into preparing for the draft, setting up at the LAFD headquarters and then making the picks.
It’s fascinating to see how Les Snead and Sean McVay work in the war room, with the help of Tony Pastoors and Nicole Blake when it comes to making trades and moving around the board.
The Rams traded back from No. 26 to 46 in a deal with the Atlanta Falcons, and it’s clear they couldn’t have been more excited about getting a 2026 first-rounder in return.
“That was great. Couldn’t have worked out any better,” Snead said.

It’s also clear the Rams were targeting Terrance Ferguson all along after trading back.
“The question is, how do we get back up in here, while staying at 46 and 90, if at all possible. Let’s just say it’s Ferguson, we get him,” McVay said as Day 2 was getting underway.
The Rams always have complete buy-in when they draft a player, making that selection with conviction and a vision for how he’s going to contribute and fit in on the depth chart. That was the case with Ferguson, as well as every other player the Rams drafted.
There’s no question about that with Josaiah Stewart, who McVay loves.
“This is like (Braden) Fiske and (Jared) Verse. This guy transferred up, overachiever,” he said, before excitedly saying, “That’s right, Les!” and playfully shoving his partner in crime.
The Rams love the six players they came away with in this class and this behind-the-scenes footage only makes that more obvious.
