I have always held a outstanding opinion of our Les Snead since his arrival with the Rams. I have seldom found myself out of agreement with him from 2012 through the 2015 seasons. My lone very big problem with Snead was this 2016 trade for Goff. I still considered that to be a career ending decision for him. I hope I am totally wrong.
Outside this one trade, when you study & dig deep & investigate the overall work done here involving draft selections &
even better UDFA's discoveries since 2012 it would be very hard to point to many failures. Yes top 10 draft selections of OLT Greg Robinson & WR Tavon Austin are

alm: with 2nd day picks like Pead , Quick, Mason as being examples of very high draft selection fails along with a half dozen major FA signs like Cortland Finnegan, Scott Wells, Davin Joseph, Jared Cook, Rodger Saffold, Jake Long but Snead sure has many more on the positive side.
I am still of the belief that Les Snead has brought in some very good talent that was on 2014/2015 & 2016 player rosters with the talent to compete with other teams for some wild card playoffs but injuries & less than average coaching was Snead's teams Achilles Heel.
We will get a good chance to fully see just how great or bad Les Snead really is on how well Goff performs from this point on. When you trade away a total of six (2 first round selections, 2 second round selections & 2 third round selections) for one pick that's a very high huge cost to overcome in the near future seasons:notsure:.
