Could Les Snead’s Next Draft Steal Be Hiding in This Unlikely Navy DL?

Could Les Snead’s Next Draft Steal Be Hiding in This Unlikely Navy DL?

Few general managers in the modern NFL have built a reputation for uncovering hidden draft value quite like Les Snead. While the Los Angeles Rams have become synonymous with splashy trades and star acquisitions, Snead’s true genius often shows up later in the draft—on Day 2 and Day 3—where roster depth and long-term success are quietly forged.

Over the years, Snead has repeatedly turned mid-to-late round selections into meaningful contributors. Players like Cooper Kupp (third round), John Johnson III (third round), Kyren Williams (fifth round), Puka Nacua (fifth round) and Jordan Fuller (sixth round) developed into key starters. Even more impressively, Snead found rotational and situational value in players who weren’t expected to make immediate impacts. This ability to identify traits and trust the organization’s player development has kept the Rams competitive despite only using one first round pick in the last nine years.
