With McVay at the helm, Les has been very good at finding WR talent. The Snead/Fisher tandem was not so great. To me that points to Fisher as the primary problem for the WR's drafted under him. Part of it was Fisher's scheme and coaching but part of it was identifying traits that make for a successful WR in the NFL. I think Fisher sought out the great athlete, where McVay strongly values football IQ, character, and route running.
Imho from what out of the Snead/Fisher was Fish was much more involved on the D side and Snead, whoever was a the OC or position Coach....Imho it was Snead/Schoot that mainly wanted Austin with Fish sayi.ng Ok
Another example Bou wanted Greg Rob, Fish gave the Ok and Snead agreed..
Snead is more about knowing where a pick is gonna go, 1st rd 22 overall etc etc and getting that player for McVay or whoever..I'm sure he has input on all players brought here..
And KD he's the Guy that knows the Value/Worth and tell McVay Snead, hey this imho is what the contact is if re/sign X...
Now hell McVay or one of his O guy Coaches my be hiTting on WRs or a Snead scout..
Rams have been since the JZ/Martz days, very quiet for the most part have very quiet about picks,always say it was a Team thing.
