The Rams have done pretty good with the draft with him as director of scouting

we'll see how they do this year

James Gladstone does all the work ?

Les Snead gets all the credit ?
This kind of statement always cracks me up. Like the brad Holmes storyline.
Gladstone may have 5 areas of responsibility - Snead probably has 50.
ALL companies start at the top. Snead deserves the credit.

Great. I maintain, its completely ridiculous that teams don't get some compensation for their entire organization being gutted every offseason. It is fairly odd that if he was African American, we would get 2 3rd round picks, but since he is not we get zilch.

WORST - look at the niners!!

Robert Saleh

Mike McDaniel

I guess- just a joke though

you actually think Snead is the one spending thousands of hours looking through every player in a given years draft class ?

I'm not trying to down playing Snead as a GM , I'm just talking about who is in charge of the draft , from "start" to draft day

I’d think the guys Gladstone would want to bring with him know that. So how hard will they work for the Rams if they *wink wink* might be leaving?

That would be the GM. Sure, a lot of work is delegated but the GM oversees it all.

Entire NFL will just be a McVay tree if sticks around for another decade. It is getting nuts. NFL should start compensating franchises after a certain point. I don't know where that line should be drawn. But this is getting ridiculous!

Didn't say that, but neither is Gladstone.
But Snead knows what he and all the other scouts are doing.
Go take a peek at the Rams front office personnel -hell, the scouting department alone would keep him busy without all the other responsibilities.
And ironically, people (maybe not you), who are on Holmes' tip for how well Detroit is doing, proves the point, as he is the GM.

Again - it ALWAYS starts at the top - Kroenke being the perfect example.

Nicole Blake's been a scouting strategy analyst for three years with the Rams. I'm assuming that Jake Temme will get the job (he's been here for ten years and thus has seniority), but I wouldn't dismiss her.
I am not, just wanted to post that meme...
