In 2015, the Los Angeles Rams did something that they haven’t done again in any of the seven years since: General manager Les Snead held tight with his first round pick and selected running back Todd Gurley with the 10th overall selection.
Over the next four years, Gurley won Offensive Rookie of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, made three Pro Bowl and All-Pro rosters, led the NFL in touchdowns, and helped the Rams reach the Super Bowl.
That’s what happened the last time Snead simply kept his first round pick and then used it on a prospect.
