Les Snead's Toughest Trade: Sliding from 2 to 6

0:00On April 3rd, Les Need has wheeled and dealed for 15 years as the Los Angeles Rams General Manager, landing stars like Stafford and Ramsey. But in a recent chat, he called out his toughest trade ever, sliding back from number 2 to number 6 overall in the 2012 draft. That deal led Washington Grab-Rover Griff in the third, while the Rams scored three first-round picks and the second-rounder just four spots down the bay. Ford, as a rookie GM barely a month in, Sneed had to pick up the phone and shut down veteran bosses chasing that spot, picking Washington instead. He even pushed back on the old Jimmy Johnson points chart, saying franchise quarterbacks do not fit neat math. The Rams turned some of those picks into solid starters like Michael Brockers, Janores Jenkins, and Alec Ogletree, though the rest fizzled out without. Much splash. Sneed lets back on it as a wild ride that sharpened his edge for all the bold moves that followed.
