Rounds 6 and 7, the Les Snead zone?

L.A. has four draft picks in the final two rounds

There’s a school of thought that says Los Angeles Rams General Manager has never met a 6th or 7th round draft pick he didn’t like. This year, L.A. has four in this area of the draft. Since the pairing of Snead and Head coach Sean McVay eight drafts ago, the Rams have accumulated 33 picks (including today) in the final two rounds.

They haven’t been all throw-in’s or camp bodies. Sebastian Joseph-Day, Nick Scott, Jordan Fuller, Ben Skowronek, Quintin Lake, Russ Yeast, Derion Kendrick, and Ethan Evans have all contributed starts and value. Others have made their bones on special teams.

What does Snead and the Rams braintrust have up their sleeve for 2024? Here’s a list of remaining prospects to consider for Rounds 6 and 7.

Can the Rams finish strong?

The Rams braintrust has done a solid job of filling roster needs, they have done more than pay lip service to upgrading the pass rush. They have bolstered the defense as a whole, acquring high floor players with a physical bent. They found a mirror RB#2, good vision, quick cuts and strong contact balance.

What remains unsatiated?

I’d like to see a true kickoff/punt returner and in general and overall special teams upgrade. An athletic linebacker to pair with Ernest Jones. I would still dip into the deep wide reciever and cornerback pools, even this late in the process. What do fans think?
