Rams Fans United - Los Angeles Rams Fan Discussion Forum

Good Morning guys/gals. I recently got an email to attend the Behind The Draft at the rams practice Facilities next friday. Here is a verbatim:

“Congratulations!

You have been selected to join us for our newest Season Ticket Member experience Behind the Draft!

We invite you to the Rams practice facility at Cal Lu University on Friday, May 31 for a behind the scenes look at the draft with General Manager Les Snead and Rams Player Personnel staff. In addition to the breakdown session, enjoy a catered lunch and guided tours of the Rams practice facility.”

Anyone else thats going to this have more details? I am curious to see what time it ends because my son has his “1 year” photoshoot thing.

Turns out @gareth and I will be going to this tomorrow, will let everybody know how it went afterwards...

It was pretty cool.

Snead talked for about an hour, mostly taking questions in the team meeting room which was full of McVay-isms on the walls. Snead said a few things that might be considered newsworthy but nothing big and we were asked not to talk about it on social media so i'm not gonna say anything here.

Though, of course, they would never tell us anything they really didn't want to get out, i mean we were a room of basically 50 strangers.

Today was an off day for the players so the place was pretty much empty.

We got a tour which was awesome, especially the locker room which was super fucking cool. We also saw the draft war room, the press room, the training room, we ate lunch where the players eat.

The hallways were full of posters of current and former players, the Coliseum full of fans.

I did see one of the trainers who was on Behind the Grind helping Kupp rehab. And when we arrived there was, presumably, a player pulling up in a black Charger with Oregon plates in case anyone might know who that would be.

very, very cool gents! any photos (or was that against the rules)?

No photos except for in the press room. But the Rams had a photographer and those photos should be available to us at some point.

On a side note, i've memorized the wifi password for the Rams press room...

Les Snead on ESPN (starts at 45 minutes):

(Edit: Turns out not all pics were cleared for sharing so i made a couple changes.)

All right here are some pics taken by the Rams and cleared for sharing:

Les Snead explaining the Rams draft strategy to us:


That's me thinking, "maybe i should be a GM." (back right)


Rams locker room:


This may or may not have been James Laurinitis in front of Aaron Donald's locker. It was kind of hard to tell:

Damn that’s sick man so jealous.

Btw it’s pretty cool of the Rams to give access like that to the fans.

great stuff! so did you smuggle out one of those helmets?

I really wanted to and considered it for a brief moment. I’m way too much of a wimp though.
