I guess what I'm saying is that I suspect that a GM has an operating strategy, and it is based on a developed and deeply internal philosophy about building and maintaining a team.
CEOs of companies might change tactics a bit over time, but the framework they make decisions in doesn't generally change. So when a team or a company wants to go in a different direction, it usually involves some major management changes to others that embrace a different philosophical approach to the job.
So I suppose my guess is that while Snead's approach to the draft might get a tweak here and there according some immediate situation, I doubt that it is much more than minor. Besides, I think it's a fool's errand EVER to draft a rookie with the idea that they are going to be an immediate hole filler. You simply do not know how a rookie is going to adapt to the NFL game, pressures, and environment. What I see is that for immediate needs the Rams pick up FAs, but choose to let rookies develop even when they are higher picks. Naturally, there could be that rookie that develops quicker than most (Akers) (Kupp), but counting on that immediate help I don't think is Snead's mindset. Sometimes you just kind of luck into it.
