And I think that this Ram strategy can be declared an overall success.

Snead/McVay have demonstrated uncanny ability to find good talent in rounds 2-7 plus UDFA. That’s the key, because without those many successes this strategy simply wouldn’t work.

And let’s remember that we’re talking about trading away late 1sts here, players that are more or less equally rated with others late into the 2nd round.

Mix in some shrewd FA transactions and some superior coaching and player development and here we are with an annually loaded roster.

I love it. And I already see some copycat moves by other teams.
