@@rooboo614because his value was a round later. So they picked him a round before. No sense picking him several rounds before where you could’ve gotten him.
"He tested really poorly" I'm glad that what he said wasn't the deciding factor of Rams not drafting Puka. Because clearly whatever that test was, it didn't matter lol.
This is one of the best drafts of all time considering the circumstances. Not one first round pick yet they have 4 guys going in the first round in re-drafts. Puka, Avila, Turner, Young
@@yl9941 yea not to take anything away from him but if he doesnt have coop to learn from and matthew throwing to him he doesnt have this season, also to be in the position to even start week 1. glad it all worked out the way it did, this offseason revitalized our team
@@YodaXIIII'm a Rams fan, and I couldn't agree with you more. I think he went to the PERFECT sspot. Having Cooper Kupp and Matthew Stafford to learn from each and every day absolutely helped. I think there were not many teams that he could have went to and had this kind of success. Perfect system. Especially with all the ways that they utilize him
@@yl9941 Only other teams I can think of is like, the Packers or Vikings. Neither Love or Cousins would have given him his crazy stats like Stafford though that’s for sure.
Met him in stl at a fan fest, he talked to me and my dad for about 5 minutes. I really appreciated him appreciating our passion and knowledge of the game as well.
Come on now Puka and Kyren in the 5th round kobie turner in the third round and i think i heard one of our tackles was undrafted!! we had 36 rookies this year. All i heard from friends (especially 49er fans) that we were going to be rebuilding and MAYBE get in the playoffs in the third year. that we would finish with 4 wins at MOST. I actually got laughed at when i called 10-7 for this year and i freely admit even i did not believe we would do 10-7 but i was bragging on my RAMS. what a great year!
I'm with you. I told the majority of my friends even when the Rams fell to 3-6 the Rams are still going to make the playoffs and go on to win the Super Bowl this year! They haven't won the Super Bowl but still people called me crazy but yet they made the playoffs. Go Rams! Love your post 😊!!!
As a BYU fan as well as a Rams fan, this whole video gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. The team had a clear vision of what they wanted and Puka worked to live up to that vision… and now look where we are.
The thing is many teams could have drafted Puka. But he wouldn't have the success that he does on the Rams. The reason he is so great is how the Rams use him. He is Kupps successor and the Rams use him like they use Kupp. I drafted Puka in most of my fantasy teams because I saw how similar he was to Kupp. Let's go Rams!
Seeing this, and then witnessing the outcome after a full regular season of football. For him to break the record. McVay called it. He saw something and boy did that pick pay off big time.
LesSnead, John McKay, James Gladstone and company pulled off some amazing acquisitions in the Draft Lab. Kobe Turner, Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams should be in the Pro Bowl next month.
Let me be the first to say I used to slander Les Snead A LOT. For most of his time as GM he simply just brought in big name players via trade. Which is fine, but homie never really showed he could build a team through the draft until NOW. Steve Avila, Byron Young, Kobie Turner, Puka Nacua in ONE draft? Maaaaan idk if people realize how crazy of a turnout that is for one draft class. Snead definitely did his homework
Les has drafted AD, Kupp, Higbee, Big Rob, Williams, Durant, E Jones, and I am sure others. yes he drafted some duds, but for the most part he has drafted some gems. Exec of the year IMO.
@@latwaunmccottrell3815 exactly. Sure, he got more famous due to the huge trades that got us the SB but he has been drafting very solid since he got to the team.
Underrated comment! GMs and coaches need to recruit more to their systems vs just raw numbers. They need to look at the whole package and match to their system/program
I just know a LA whiner fan liked this just to be “funny” But they just wanna be a rams fans they are just confused, they haven’t had a team to be proud of since TO and Jeff Garcia 🤣🤣🤌they stated Trent, Warner, ayuk, crybaby Samuel, and C ward Wentz did well but if that was Mathew.. we’re talking 5 tds And if that was Brock We’re talking 4 picks
And people are saying we are just lucky we stumbled on to him. They knew who and what they were drafting in Puka. Awesome young guy.
Sean mcvay went to UGA most of the rams defense went to UGA 💪🏿💨💨💨 you see where I’m going with this
@@beaminbeamin I actually don't lol. McVay went to college and so did Puka, albeit on different ends of the country and in different decades?
then why wait til pick 177 😛
@@rooboo614because his value was a round later. So they picked him a round before. No sense picking him several rounds before where you could’ve gotten him.
For sure, but I’d be willing to bet he exceeded expectations. Dude is already trending to stardom.
Demoff, Snead, and Coach get no love for what they've accomplished in 7 years together!!! Just extraordinary success together!
Oh they get a lot of love for sure only some dumb fans think they know better behind a keyboard.
❤indeed coming from a die hard St Louis Rams loyalty over location ❤
@@jamicoholmes6345stl fan as well. Still alot of us
"He tested really poorly" I'm glad that what he said wasn't the deciding factor of Rams not drafting Puka. Because clearly whatever that test was, it didn't matter lol.
They can't 'test' the size of a mans heart or how much he wants to succeed and work hard to get better.
Usually a Wonderlic test
@@headzonsight7009 I think it was about his 40 time
Yeah they were talking about his 40 time which is 4.6
Rams sure nailed it with this pick
This is one of the best drafts of all time considering the circumstances. Not one first round pick yet they have 4 guys going in the first round in re-drafts. Puka, Avila, Turner, Young
In terms of pure value it might be the best ever.
People always forget the punter Evans as well he has a leg.
@@DiegoSanchez-y2q Yeesh. After a season? The '74 Steelers would like a word.
The literal steal of the draft. I bet 31 teams would have liked to have done that one over.
I absolutely don't believe other teams could make him as successful if they drafted him.

More like 31x5 = 155 teams.
These draft behind the scenes and phone calls are THE BEST!! Puka is a star, well done RAMS!
Rams patting themselves on the back with this video, and RIGHTLY SO! Love you Puka
The steal of the draft IMO
Breaking two rookie records. If he aint, I don't know who is.
McVay is a visionary
it will not be much ?
@@grupocolosalgrupocolosal856Que? Mas explique por favor.
and vision is scary.
Wow, seeing Les Snead in action, awesome!

He has instantly become one of my favorite players to watch.

Legends at work.
History int he making .... drafts. behind the seen. Go RAMS

Les and Sean, they are the dynamic duo with the picks. Les said it, Sean has a vision.
Puka always be sounding high lol. Love that dude!!!
This is so cool to watch
RECORD BREAKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... chills ...
i cant wait for this next draft
Love this team no matter what, been a fan since them rough St louis days, to live and die in LA 🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏
So proud of this dude! Go Rams!!
Let’s make a deep playoff run🤑
INCREDIBLE
Unbelievable that he was the 20th receiver taken in his class
Were looking at possibly the greatest OC/Coach weve ever seen. And as a GM to have the faith to in his coach and go with it...man impressive
Hey rams. I really like these inside looks on how the draft process plays out. Please post more if you’re able.
Thanks!
i’m a philly fan and i love this dude great pick LA you got yourselves a future HOF in my eyes
This makes me smile
Might be asking too much here but can y'all release the Byron Young and Kobie Turner drafting tapes as well? Huge fan of them both tbh
Yes please
Y’all should watch behind the grind episode 2, they have these clips for both of them.
How to not love this guys and the brain that they put on it ❤
Talk about being spot on with a pick
Biggest steal in the draft
Yes sir !
Not hyperbole, he really is.
You guys all look the same 😂😂😂 looks like a family reunion more than a draft room 😂😂
Let’s goooo!!!!
seeing him live jst made it evn better 😮💨 kupp a dawg too!
This was an awesome video
I love how fluid this kid is no wasted movements kid just has no hesitation.
What a great player, way to go RAMS....

Rams with another steal in the draft. Love our team 🤙🏽
Historic and monumental moment
Thats my GM and Coach right there!!! 🐏
Fkn love this 💯💯💯💙💛
Les and McVay are the best in the business.
Nice to show this before the playoffs start
"You know what it takes!"
Love it
I told my football buddies we had 34 rookies in camp they laughed they ain’t laughing anymore
Man what a pick.
Puka is fire 💪👑
Pukaaaa!!!!
lovee this teaaam
Anybody whos gone to a football camp or tryout knows that tests can't tell who will ball.
OROY!
You can't measure passion on a draft board, you can see many players have talent, but measuring passion is hard!
Amazing title
they really nailed that pick
Wish I could've bought his jersey on draft day
bro predicted the future
LETS GO RAMS
See with receivers like Kupp & Puka they aint gonna be that X or Y receivers on any other team! Its the system fit
Underrated comment! GMs and coaches need to recruit more to their systems vs just raw numbers. They need to look at the whole package and match to their system/program
Yesir great coach builds great teams like Bill and NE
Ok Les with the Travis Scott 1 I see you
Rams nailed that pick! Go Cougs!
Go Rams
I didn't know Sean McVay was bald on top.😂
And the rest is history on NFL Days.
Trust the process
In my opinion he’s the best player in that years draft
Puuuuka

You more than likely will too. Not sure why it needs to be pointed out.
