Snead drafts above-average athletes (avg 55th percentile)
The Rams front office under Les Snead remains one of the NFL's most aggressive roster-builders. The 2025 season (12-5, NFC Championship appearance) validated continued competitiveness despite the "F*** them picks" philosophy. John McKay (son of legendary Tampa Bay HC) handles contracts as AGM while Nicole Blake runs the unique combined scouting/strategy/analytics department. The Senior Personnel Executive group (Morton, Barrett, Driggers, Monago) provides deep evaluation experience. Taylor Morton's additional title as Deputy Chief of College Scouting Staff signals succession planning. Special Assistants include Kellen Clemens (former NFL QB with player perspective) and Andy Sugarman (analytics background). Matt Waugh leads pro personnel. Organization continues producing GM candidates - James Gladstone left for Jaguars GM job. Staff is notably lean but effective.
