Jacksonville Jaguars general manager and former Los Angeles Rams director of college scouting James Gladstone is bringing a former coworker with him to his new job.
The Jaguars reportedly hired Jake Temme as the team's newest senior vice president of football analytics, according to ESPN's Seth Walder. Temme had previously been the Rams for the 10 seasons, most recently as the team's director of data and analytics.
Temme played a big role in the Rams' recent run of great draft picks, including receiver Puka Nacua, according to a feature from The Athletic's Jordan Rodrigue. Temme helped build and run programs that determined which players to target and — ultimately — what picks to make. He was also one of the few members of the front office who sat with the key decision-makers like head coach Sean McVay, general manager Les Snead, Gladstone and scouting strategist Nicole Blake during drafts.
It's always hard to gauge how much a front office loss will effect a team with the 2025 draft so close. But one would have to imagine that McVay, Snead and the rest of the Rams organization have learned enough from the successes brought on by Gladstone and Temme that they can make effective decisions without them in the war room this time around.
