People keep forgetting Jeff Fisher had final say over personnel, not Snead. I'm not giving Snead a pass, but Fisher spoke about when they did a private workout with Quick at Appalachian State, they brought backup QB Kellen Clemens with them and after the workout, Clemens said to Fisher, "We have to get this guy." Again Quick wowed them, but his football IQ was low and he was raw in his route running.
Again one thing I like about McVay is, football IQ is rated high and with the picks like Quick & Robinson, that is where the Fisher regime fell short in some cases. Again Fisher had Vermeil power, the coach was hired before the GM and Fisher signed off on Snead. Rams lost out on a couple of other executives (George Paton Vikings) because the Head Coach had the final word in their structure under Fisher.
