The Rams have a year-to-year arrangement with quarterback Matthew Stafford, meaning his tenure could end any year, and they could draft his successor at any time. During a pre-draft press conference, G.M. Les Snead acknowledged the complexity of drafting a quarterback, emphasizing the importance of preparation and communication, particularly with Stafford, should they choose to select a rookie. Coach Sean McVay noted their commitment to keeping Stafford informed, referencing their prior communication when they drafted Stetson Bennett, contrasting it with other teams that did not inform their quarterbacks about similar decisions.
