Los Angeles Rams General Manager Les Snead and Head Coach Sean McVay have proven adept at mining the later rounds for unpolished gems. Sebastian Joseph-Day and Travin Howard in 2018, Nick Scott in 2019, Jordan Fuller in 2020, and Bennett Skowronek in 2021 have all provided good return on investment.
It needs to be mentioned that these draft articles imply that draftees are simply ready to be plugged in and the Rams scouting department has done all the yeoman’s work. The truth is, the coaching staff and strength/conditioning workforce deserve just as many accolades for the cutting and polishing that turn these stones into jewels.
