I Think The Rams Just Have Different Metrics Than Most Teams

July 07, 2026 02:34AM
They prefer different kinds of players. Not super fast or super big or super strong. Like, most teams covet those traits, but the Rams don't. They never have really.

It's possible that they value other traits like versatility or coachability instead. They don't draft the Jamar Chases or Nick Emmanworis.

Now, they will sometimes pursue those types of players as free agents. So, maybe they are just not that great at identifying them upfront.

I'd be really interested to hear from Les Snead what factors go into choosing certain players over others, like Terrance Ferguson instead of moving up to draft Nick Emmanwori.
