Good article on how the Rams were built and how they changed after some draft busts:

Snead is a man who embraces his failures head-on. When Robinson flopped, he reevaluated the way he scouts tackles (he won’t divulge how), and that made him an asset when Kroenke replaced Fisher with McVay but kept Snead in the front office. Everyone agreed they needed an established left tackle to support Goff, who was entering his second season in 2017. Snead targeted free agent Andrew Whitworth, who had been with the Bengals for 11 seasons and was being seriously courted by three teams that March.
