Fisher/Snead Presser + Tweets

Myles Simmons ‏@MylesASimmons

Fisher did provide update on @Bquick_SC, saying that he should be ready for training camp. Possibly could be in OTAs with restrictions, too.


Will have a longer write in a bit, but basically... 1) Draft board is pretty set 2) Any position is pretty much in play at 10—including DL


Snead at one point said they could move up, stand pat, or trade down. So…yeah, as I said, don’t expect much to come out of that.


As you’d expect, Fisher/Snead basically spent their presser saying that they were keeping their options open for No. 10.

St. Louis Rams @STLouisRams

Les Snead: "When you are picking 10th, there will be good football players available." #RamsDraft

Jeff Fisher said the team is still interested in re-signing offensive lineman Joe Barksdale.

Les Snead said he (and his team) has gone over 8,000 pages of NFL Draft information. #RamsDraft

Les Snead (On his Draft Board already being set): "Pretty much... The foundation is there." #RamsDraft

Fisher backed down a little on prior remarks (at NFL owners meetings) that he plans to take a quarterback.

Fisher said "it's very possible" team could take an edge rusher at No. 10. Both Shane Ray and Randy Gregory could be available there.

Fisher: Rams still interested in Barksdale and are in "constant contact" with him.

Snead: With only 6 picks, different feel to draft this year but preparation's the same.

Snead said Rams are receiving, making calls. Called it the "flirting stage" to try to figure out what everybody else is doing.

Snead said personnel dept. and coaches have gone through 8,000 pages of draft info over last three weeks.

Fisher likened it to Friday of game week: "The game plan's in; you're prepared to play."

At pre-draft press conference, Fisher & Snead said board is basically set other than a little fine tuning.
