what happens when mcvay and snead simply disagree about a player as often happens in real life? lets say snead ranks player A #1 and mcvay ranks the same player #10. they compromise on #5. when the draft occurs, player A is on the board and snead is ready to pull the trigger, but mcvay really wants player B because mcvay still thinks Player B is better than Player A. Who makes the choice? IMO someone needs to have ultimate authority to pull the trigger because disagreements over players are inevitable. I dont mean it needs to be acrimonious. just good- natured disagreements.
I love good-natured disagreements, PHD.
Honestly, I don’t think your scenario is possible because the Snead/McVay/ asst Coach, and scout braintrust has already stacked the board. Unless a trade opportunity presents itself or the Rams have already earlier taken that position, their course is pre-determined and they follow their board. And even if they’ve already taken a player at that position earlier, they might pull the trigger, anyway. Evans and Edwards illustrate that from just this last draft.
But if all else fails, I suspect that Snead now makes the final call.
