Snead’s been with the Rams quite a while now. Close to 15 years or so.
Just glancing at Snead’s first 3 drafts, with Fisher.
There were some solid players in the first 3 years, but really only Aaron Donald was a game-changer. I cant say Snead’s first three years were anything other than…oh…’average’, maybe ‘mediocre.’
===========
Kronke finalized full ownership in 2011. Spags was fired in Jan of 2012. Rams had gone 2-14. Bill Devaney the GM was also fired.
2012 was Les Snead’s first draft with the Rams. It was Jeff Fisher’s first year. (7-8-1 record)
Brian Shottenheimer was the OC.
The Rams executed a total of three trades involving their early-round picks during the 2012 draft process:
Trade 1 (Pre-draft blockbuster): The Rams traded the 2nd overall pick (used by Wash. on Robert Griffin III) to Washington in exchange for Washington’s 2012 first-round pick (6th overall), their 2012 second-round pick (39th overall), and their first-round picks in 2013 and 2014.
Trade 2 (Draft Day 1): The Rams traded the 6th overall pick to the Dallas Cowboys for the 14th overall pick and a 2012 second-round pick (45th overall).
Trade 3 (Draft Day 2): The Rams traded the 45th overall pick to the Chicago Bears for the 50th overall pick and a 2012 fifth-round pick (150th overall
