Sarina is to Jourdan what a hot dog is to a Porterhouse. But Baldinger pulls it out of the fire by diverting her inarticulate questions to rather good answers.
I think one of the biggest take aways that matches exactly with what Demoff recently explained to Jourdan and Rich is that the Rams' team building philosophy is based on the star system. A few stars-superstars surrounded with role players. They really haven't had a star-superstar on offense since Gurley, or at QB since Warner. Now they have one in Stafford (and its mainly the disgruntled Goff fans that disagree with that characterization). As good as Kupp and Woods are, I don't think they can be defined as in the star-superstar category, although they are in the upper level of all WRs (I happen to think Kupp is near to elite).
Thus the Rams are always ready to trade away1st and 2nd rounders to get proven NFL stars-superstars. That they seriously looked into the Julio Jones possibility accentuates that philosophy.
The downside is that when a superstar is out or diminished, it is very hard for the team to cover for that. AD in the GB game is an example.
It also why the Rams do 1 year deals for former early round picks whose teams didn't pick up the 5th year option, and then let the star player go after a year and retrieve a 3rd or 4th round pick in return (Fowler, JJ). It's these level of picks that the Rams actually target. The players they target in those mid-rounds are (generally) heavy on a trait or two that is complimentary, but they aren't usually complete players (of course one can debate what "complete" amounts to). Example: Tutu. Mid-late 2nd round. Extremely fast. A playmaker Good hands. Decent route runner/gains separation. Takes the top of D's. Instinctive/smart player. WAY too little and if a DB can get their hands on him, he's done. Example: Jacob Harris. 4th round. Extremely fast. Tall and long. Highly athletic. A tweener WR/TE. Doesn't really run routes. Much too light for an NFL TE. Not much football experience compared to others.
One can disagree with this approach. But this is the Rams philosophy that is at the heart of the Snead-McVay way of thinking. They are on the same page, and also with Demoff. And, add to that an impatience that doesn't allow poor team results or sub-par player performances to remedy themselves, they'll make bold (some would say unwise or impulsive) moves to fix the issues.
The star system as well as the impatience to field a winner every year is also a tip of the hat to the SoCal culture and demands. And, that is why Kroenke likes who he has running things because he believes that in the LA market this philosophy is a given requirement to succeed.
