Some Praise For Snead & Fisher On UDFAs

FIRST FOUR SNISHER UDFA WINNERS
Not counting the 2016 Draft, which I will get to later.....Fisher and Snead have averaged nearly 5 UDFAs making their annual squads in their 4 previous Drafts of 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015.

Present on the Rams Roster tonight (per therams.com) are the following UDFAs, in alphabetical order:
Malcolm Brown
Benny Cunningham
Cody Davis
Cory Harkey
Johnny Hekker
Zach Laskey
Matt Longacre
Cameron Lynch
Bradley Marquez
Chase Reynolds
Marcus Roberson
Ethan Westbrooks
Darrell Williams
Total of 13

Plus other Snisher UDFAs that made Roster status:
Ray Ray Armstrong
Daren Bates
Austin Davis
Rodney McLeod
Louis Trinca-Pasat
Trey Watts
Total of 6....and I probably missed some discarded Snisher UDFAs still active in the NFL....

BUT...
fellas, that's 19 Snisher UDFAs who made Los Ramos Roster in 4 Drafts.

SNISHER UDFA CANDIDATES IN 2016 DRAFT
This 2016 Draft.....I'm not sure if Snead & Fisher are getting better at their craft....
or whether the added allure living in Southern California over the Rust Belt Midwest has led to the plethora of fairly decently highly ranked (by most draftnik publications...but in this post I'll quote DraftScout.com rankings) 2016 NCAA candidates. Here's the 2016 crop of Snisher UDFAs along with the "Highest Round Predicted" per DraftScout draftniks:
Aaron Green...RB...5th Rounder
Marquez North...WR...6th Rounder
Nelson Spruce...WR...6th
Jordan Lomax....S....6th
Paul McRoberts...WR...6th
Ian Seau...DE/OLB....6th
Brandon Chubb...ILB...6th
Mike Jordan....CB/S...6th
Corey Littleton...OLB...7th
Brian Randolph...S...7th
Jordan Swindle...OT...7th
Total of 11 Snisher 2016 UDFAs ranked to be Drafted

Then on top of these 11 "Draft Ranked" Snisher 2016 UDFA picks, there were these additional 10 Ram picks ranked "PFA" to "FA" per DraftScout
Duke Williams ....WR
Rohan Gaines....S
Pace Murphy....OT
Morgan Fox.....DE
Taylor Bertolet...PK
Jabriel Washington....CB
Nicolas Grigsby...LB
Darreon Herring....LB
Benson Browne....TE
Jeff Overbaugh....LS

Now some may argue that it was only ONE draftnik publication I cited, and that I noted only the highest Round projected for each player.....but I have to think that with 21 UDFAs in Camp for 2016, Snead & Fisher may well do better than their 5 UDFAs On Roster Per Season Average in 2016.

But, how ever the 2016 Ram UDFAs turn out, Snead & Fisher's track record SO FAR for plucking starters like Rodney McLeod (probable 2017 Ram Compensatory Pick result) and ProBowl Punter Johnny Hekker et al, out of UDFA ranks has been pretty damm good, n'est-ce pas???

As always, JMO.
