Rams general manager Les Snead and coach Jeff Fisher Jari Kurri Jerseyare about to make the biggest choice of their careers, and they figure they can't go wrong. When the Rams make the top selection in the NFL draft on Thursday, either Jared Goff or Carson Wentz will become their franchise quarterback for their return season in Los Angeles. Although the Rams http://www.officialoilersteamshop.com/Womens_Youth_Jean-francois_Jacques_Jerseycertainly appeared to know their choice Tuesday, Snead claimed the Rams' bold trade to the top of the draft gave them two can't-miss options. ''I do think both of the players are very good, and both are going to have very good careers,'' Snead said. ''But I can tell you that we wanted to get to No. 1 so that we would have a choice, and be able to pick one of the two. But in terms of pressure, just because there's two (candidates), I don't think that's anything added. We wanted to get there to have that choice.'' The trade cost the Rams six picks while returning three. They don't currently have another pick this weekend until http://www.officialoilersteamshop.com/Womens_Youth_Jordan_Eberle_JerseySaturday's fourth round. But Snead and Fisher, who make the Rams' decisions together, have spent their four losing seasons building a franchise that was ready to take this leap, with its core of young talent now experienced enough to support a star rookie quarterback into a playoff race. With just two days to go, Andrew Ladd Jerseythe Rams appeared confident they've got their man. ''We've spent a great deal of time,'' Fisher said. ''Probably three visits with each quarterback, hours and hours and hours. We've done our research and studied and talked to dozens and dozens of people that are close to both candidates. We've done our work. They're both going to play in this league, and they're both going to be very good players.'' Fisher and Snead won't inform the quarterback they've chosen until http://www.officialjetsonlinestore.com/Womens_Youth_Blake_Wheeler_Jerseyright before head equipment manager Jim Lake takes the card to the commissioner in Chicago. ''There's only a few things better in life than this phone call,'' Fisher said. ''It's a great experience for them, so we don't want to deny our pick that opportunity to experience that.'' The Rams began a monumental week in franchise history with a news conference at the downtown hotel serving as their headquarters for both the draft and their reintroduction to the nation's second-largest media market.
