Les Snead and Sean McVay’s first draft together in 2017 provided the Los Angeles Rams with key pieces to a roster that would win 44 games in the next four years: Cooper Kupp with the 69th overall pick, John Johnson with the 91st, Gerald Everett with the 44th, Josh Reynolds with the 117th, and Samson Ebukam with the 125th picks of the draft.
That’s not just a good draft class. Without a first round pick, Snead and McVay helped turn third round selections on Kupp and Johnson into day one values and it can be hard to even find important reserves like Reynolds and Ebukam in the fourth round.
