Are Sean McVay and Les Snead still a top coach and general manager tandem in the NFL? Regardless of whatever you think of the 2026 NFL Draft, the answer is likely yes. McVay and Snead have done fantastic work for the Los Angeles Rams ever since they joined forces.<\/p>\n
The latest draft doesn\u2019t change what the pair have done, and who knows? Maybe this latest draft class for the Rams is a strong one. Time will tell.<\/p>\n

Another Super Bowl for the pair would certainly cement them as two of the best to ever do it (maybe they already are), but either way, they\u2019ve worked wonders for the Rams. They have the chance to do it again in 2026.<\/p>\n
Please comment on whatever you want and happy Friday! We made it.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a result,\u00a0NBC Sports\u2019 Patrick Daugherty ranked the duo<\/a>\u00a0third on his list of the best general managers in the NFL. While Snead is the actual general manager, both have gone on record to say that any roster move made has to be done with both men in agreement.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Is it just too easy for Sean McVay and Les Snead? The Rams\u2019 franchise cornerstone, Aaron Donald<\/a>, retired after the 2023 campaign. How have they done in the two seasons since? Divisional Round loss and NFC Championship Game loss. Replacing Donald was a test the Rams passed without even studying. Maybe that\u2019s why they insisted on upping the difficulty level this offseason. After finishing one game shy of the Super Bowl with a 38-year-old quarterback, the Rams should be all in on 2026. It seemed like they were when they traded a first-round pick for Chiefs CB Trent McDuffie<\/a>. Then it came time to make their other pick and \u2026 yeah. Staring the Lombardi in the face, McVay and company selected Ty Simpson<\/a>, someone who won\u2019t play until 2027\u00a0at the earliest\u00a0absent injury. It\u2019s bad enough the Rams passed on immediate help. It\u2019s even worse when you remember McVay changes his mind quickly on offense. Will Simpson even still be his ideal quarterback two years from now? The Rams are too smart for the rest of the league. Occasionally, they are too smart for even their own good.\u201c<\/p>\n \u201cAnd when he said it, you could almost feel yourself in his shoes.<\/p>\n This week, McVay sat down with Will Compton<\/a> and Taylor Lewan<\/a> on\u00a0Bussin With the Boys<\/a>\u00a0for what turned into one of the most genuinely honest coaching interviews I\u2019ve heard in a long time. No talking points. No carefully worded non-answers. Just a football coach sitting down and actually telling the truth about where his head was at when things got dark.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n If you\u2019re a\u00a0Rams<\/a>\u00a0fan and especially if you watched that 2022 season, this one is going to hit you somewhere in your gut.\u201c<\/p>\n \u201cThe NFL has a player-coaching issue. There are many former players who are interested in extending their time in the NFL through coaching. The problem is that those opportunities rarely come about, especially for non-quarterbacks.<\/p>\n
