Some Rams fans are understandably concerned that the franchise will never fully be out of this “hole” that general manager Les Snead has dug for himself in order to make the present-day rosters better at the time of certain decisions. Ever since trading up to select Jared Goff in 2016, then constantly reloading the team for head coach Sean McVay beginning in 2017, Snead hasn’t stopped selling the future to obtain better footing in the present.
With no first round picks since 2016 — and none on the schedule again until 2024 — plus dramatic dead money hits year after year, many fans feel uneasy with this method of roster construction.
