If you haven’t heard by now, Sean McVay had quite the reaction to the New England Patriots drafting Cole Strange with the 29th overall pick on Thursday night. After seeing the pick come across live during his press conference, McVay was stunned to see Strange drafted that early and laughed about the Rams wasting their time studying him, thinking he’d be available at No. 104.
McVay didn’t intend to come across as disrespectful toward Bill Belichick as a GM or Strange as a player, so he wanted to clear things up. Les Snead told reporters Friday night that McVay called Belichick and Strange to let them know that he didn’t mean any disrespect towards them.
“Because of how that video went viral in fun, that was the chemistry between us and us going through this process trying to evaluate, but I know Sean talked to Cole this morning, did talk to Coach Belichick just to say, ‘Hey, there was nothing – we really like that player.’ Sean was just jest at myself for ‘Hey, why did we waste our time on him again?’ Snead said.
