Snead needs to find his poker face
excerpts...
"I am utterly baffled by Snead’s position of telling everyone who wants to listen – including executives from other teams – that Bradford is the Rams’ locked-in starter and BFF and the team has no interest in using the No. 2 chip on a quarterback.
This makes no sense. Why show your hand? Goodness, you’d think Snead would know that. He was hired by Rams owner Silent Stanley Kroenke — who has never shown his hand on, well, anything."
"The Rams can even run a similar game with defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. Float some rumors about how Fisher has gone bananas in his secret desire to have a team consisting of 53 defensive players. (OK, that won’t happen. Make it only 51 defensive players; Fisher will need a punter and a kicker.)
That means Fisher is determined to draft Clowney at No. 2 overall because the Rams need as many locomotive pass rushers as they can get to chase down Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson in the NFC West.
But Snead has pretty much killed that buzz already by publicly down playing the chances of the Rams opting for Clowney.
Les, buddy … you’ve got to convince teams that you’re serious about using No. 2 for a top quarterback or the best defensive player in the draft."

Bernie, buddy... who cares what we are going to do. Snead has already made it clear he prefers to trade down. With four teams in the top five (every team but us), and five to six in the top eight (depending on TB) needing a QB, they don't just need to worry about whether we take a QB (or ATL about us taking a DE). Obviously, they need to worry about OTHER teams trading into our spot. We didn't say we were looking for a QB in 2012, contrary to Bernie's sage advice, and that turned out OK (which is why we are sitting on the WAS 1.2 as well as our own 1.13 today). This process isn't as complicated as a detonator, Bernie, it shouldn't need a diagram or schematic.
