Los Angeles Rams GM Les Snead to conduct NFL draft from home after testing positive for COVID-19

LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead has tested positive for COVID-19, is isolating in his garage and says that's where he will conduct the NFL draft instead of at the Rams' Malibu mansion draft headquarters.

"Can't make that up, right?" Snead asked, rhetorically, after the conclusion of the first round on Thursday. "You test positive on the first day of the draft, I mean not like two days before, the first day."

The Rams did not make a first-round pick Thursday night after trading the selection to the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2019 to acquire All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey.
