Enjoy. Make sure you watch the whole video. Especially the part at the end where he says “This is Snead’s guy”.

And the Rams knew they’d be picking somewhere mid first round. They didn’t know the exact number until the first week of January but they had a really good idea the range they’d be picking in.

You don't think Snead's opinion was at least partially based on the feedback that McVay gave him on Simpson? I mean, if I am Snead, and someone asks me to analyze a QB, I am going right to McVay to get his thoughts. Don't you think that is pretty damn obvious?

How is Sean McVay giving Les Snead his opinion on college quarterbacks in December? I promise you McVay is not grinding tape on college prospects during the season.

Look, I’m not making the argument that McVay hates the pick. I’m just saying that this was Les Snead’s decision, and it was Sean’s job to get on board with it. And it sounds like he has. I also think there’s probably an understanding between McVay and Snead where they both know McVay will be taking a break and stepping away at some point. And it’s Les’ job to think about the long term post-McVay success of the team. There’s nothing wrong with that. But it is a trade off. The team has been *this close* to a SB in back to back seasons and they just used the 13th pick on someone who likely won’t see the field until 2028. That’s hard to swallow for a fan that wants to win a ring now.

The number of college starts for the kid is a concern for most, if not, all of us. History hasn't been so kind to these guys.

However, that concern is abated quite a bit for me because:
1) barring injury, Simpson gets to sit and learn behind a good QB, in a good offense, with a good offensive mind and won't be thrust into the starting lineup as a rookie before he is ready like most of the other guys selected to bad football teams.
2) Simpson isn't coming from a college offense that didn't have NFL concepts.
3) Simpson wasn't drafted moreso for his athletic abilities (mainly legs) but his mental processing.
4) And finally, Simpson doesn't have maturity issues.

If you take a look at most of the QB Busts, I don't think one can say the same.

Besides, I was just really impressed at how well he played with the 125th ranked rushing attack and his WRs dropping so many passes.

And many of them were 20 or 21 yr olds like Richardson and Darnold. Simpson is 23, turning 24 at the end of next season in December. So more mature and simply just an older guy.

Replying to Spider:
Are you f@$&! dumb?

You will be the first person in all my years that I will block on this forum!

Just epic level stupid!

This was 1000% Snead’s pick. Did McVay eventually get on board? Sure. But the notion that it was McVay that led the charge for this pick is LAUGHABLE. Snead’s had his mind made up on this guy for 5 months.

McVay doesn't know shit until Snead gives him a tape and tells him to have a hard look at this player so he can give feedback.

McVay doesn't tell Snead what players to look at.
