Simpson claimed he never met head coach Sean McVey and only talked to Sneed that night. Turns out, it was all part of the plan to hide the Rams' interest and avoid other teams jumping in. Earlier this week on the Pat McAfee show, Sneed broke it down. The Rams always tell top prospects to keep private meetings under wraps for that classic draft gamesmanship.
