Rams general manager Les Snead famously wore a T-shirt with a photo of himself on the front and text that read “F--- them picks” while his team celebrated its Super Bowl LVI championship with a parade around Los Angeles in February 2022. The expletive-laden line was in reference to the handful of blockbuster deals they made over the previous offseasons, sending multiple first-round picks out the door in exchange for the likes of quarterback Matthew Stafford and cornerback Jalen Ramsey, two cornerstone pieces of their championship run.
While Snead has since backtracked on the statement, saying he knows he might “eat those words at some point,” the longtime executive not only used this strategy before their Super Bowl run in 2021, but also has continued to do so—with the latest move being the acquisition of cornerback Trent McDuffie.
