And always remember it was Al Gore that invented running backs.

From nfl.com Charlie Casserly
Los Angeles Rams: Les Snead
Year hired: 2012
Number of players drafted: 70
List of Pro Bowlers: 5. KR Pharoh Cooper, DT Aaron Donald, QB Jared Goff, RB Todd Gurley, K Greg Zuerlein.
BEST PICK: DT Aaron Donald, 2004 (Round 1, No. 13 overall). He's been one of the best defensive linemen in the NFL for most of his career, earning Defensive Rookie of the Year honors in 2014 and back-to-back DPOY awards in '17 and '18. Donald is best as a pass rusher, with excellent quickness and penetration to routinely win one-on-one -- and even one-on-two -- matchups.
BEST VALUE PICK: K Greg Zuerlein, 2012 (Round 6, No. 171). Zuerlein is a very accurate kicker with a strong leg, which is where he got his nickname, "Greg The Leg." He's missed a mere six PATs in eight seasons.
DEFINITIVE TRAIT/STYLE: Snead and his staff have a clear vision of what they are looking for at each position, and they value building a true team, not collecting talent. It's imperative that coaches communicate what type of players are useful, so scouts can identify them leading up to the draft. Snead is flexible and able to adapt his method when necessary; he often stays ahead of the curve when the NFL changes or the Rams change coordinators and/or schemes. He has also been aggressive when necessary (e.g. trading up for the first overall pick to get Goff).

The WR class is interesting. A lot of teams seem poised to grab a WR early.
It’s one of those positions to watch “go on a run”.
