Much was made of the Los Angeles Rams 2023 draft. Again for the sixth straight year, L.A. didn’t have a Round 1 pick, but General Manager Les Snead was able to parlay what capital they did possess into 14 selections. That number was the second-most in NFL history, at least since going to seven rounds in 1994, bested only by the Minnesota Vikings 15 in 2020.
Snead’s been around for 12 Rams drafts now. long enough to see if any major patterns show. The fact is, over his tenure, nothing really stands out to tip off what he and the rest of the scouts might consider their “go to” areas or college programs.
