Snead

Instead of coveting early round picks — particularly first-rounders, which have the best chance of providing a team with those crucial inexpensive young players — Snead has made a practice of trading them away.

Snead and the Rams have taken a different approach — one that’s fascinating in its divergence from NFL norms.

Snead has not been bad, but if you’re going to trade away your premium picks, you better have an ace up your sleeve — so long as building a long-term winner is the goal.

After trading away the Rams’ 2016 and 2017 first-round picks3 to move up 14 spots to draft Jared Goff first overall in 2016, Snead has dealt a first-round pick in each year since.

"I truly feel like he needed some kind of help as a child, and didn't get it," added Snead, 68, of Lenawee County.

“But some one must be in charge,” urged Blosser, or Irving Snead, as he seemed to prefer to be known.

Snead might turn out to be a TK as well as a hallucinator, and I wanted no more heart attacks.

Snead was then sold to pay the fees of his master's physician, who later sold him to a wholesale merchant for $500.

Upon the death of his first master he fell into the hands of one of the sons who died when Snead was about fifteen.
