Rams tweets etc. … 4/11 – 4/20

#Rams are 3rd I wonder if you only factored in the McVay era if they would be 1st. Either way this is incredible considering its with only 2 first round picks https://t.co/z2hAbdnOpL

The Rams have only had 3 first round picks in the last 10 years. This is insanely impressive. “Finding Rams” is real. Front office deserves endless credit for perfecting the re-tool.

Los Angeles Rams: Les Snead

You have to give it to Les “**** Them Picks” Snead. He does things his way. And his way has worked.

Over seven consecutive seasons from 2017 to 2023, the Rams didn’t have a first-round draft pick—Snead traded them away for veteran players like cornerback Jalen Ramsey and quarterback Matthew Stafford. But you can’t argue with results, and in 2021 the Rams won Super Bowl LVI—their first in Los Angeles.

This doesn’t mean Snead can’t draft, though. In 2014 he picked one of the best defensive players of all time in Aaron Donald, and with his first first-rounder in eight years in 2024, Snead took edge-rusher Jared Verse, who went on to be named Defensive Rookie of the Year.

8. Los Angeles Rams

Out goes Cooper Kupp and in comes Davante Adams to keep the Rams set at the offensive skill positions. The offensive line is average, so that’s not an immediate need, though a dominant offensive tackle could go a long way to helping this offense take another step toward elite. For as much progress as the defense made last season, it still needs some work. The defensive line made strides last year with rookies Jared Verse and Braden Fiske, but they’re still lacking playmakers on that side of the ball, especially at linebacker where they project to have one of the worst units in the league.
