Rams GM Snead Meets Linebackers, Shaking Up Draft Strategy

0:00It's March 31st, this is NFL News Today, driven by AI following the league in real time. Los Angeles Rams General Manager Les Sneed is shaking things up, meeting with three top 100 linebacker prospects ahead of the 20, 26 NFL draft. They include Missouri's Jeremiah Trotter, Pittsburgh's Kyle Lewis, and Cincinnati's Jake Golday. This marks a fresh approach for the Rams at the position. For years since Sneed teamed up with coach Sean McVeigh back in 2017, linebackers have been low on the priority list, almost an afterthought, in their roster building. Fans are buzzing because this signals real intent to upgrade the linebacker room, especially with guys like Nate Lamin holding down one spot and Omar Spites at the Will Role. These prospects bring run-stopping grit and coverage skills that could fit the Rams's safety heavy schemes. Digging deeper, other round two talents like Georgia's CJ Allen, Texas's Anthony Hill, Texas Tex, Jacob Rodriguez, and Missouri's Josiah Trotter.

1:03Stand out too. Hill tops many boards with his all-around speed, blitzing, and zone coverage while Rodriguez flashes ball-hawking instincts from his safety days. All these players could slide right into early down packages, bulking up the front seven and adding edge versatility without major growing pains.
