Schefter: "There's no way" the Rams won't pick Sam Bradford at No. 1

So if we are going to trade Campbell, what are we going to do for a QB now that our guy may go number 1? Is there a possibility that STL is bating us to trade up?

Who says we are trading Campbell? We couldn't get a second for him last year and that was before he was a human pinata for 16 games in 09.

Trading him for a 3rd or lower would be pretty dumb.

Schefter and others around here have been saying for a few days now they thought the Rams would take Bradford with their 1st pick...but he had given the impression that their 1st pick wouldn't be the #1 overall pick. Seems like he's saying first overall pick

Well, no, it's because they already have a line in place to protect him. What the Rams don't have is anyone he can throw to.

He'd probably struggle mightily there in his first year, but there's not a whole lot the Rams can do to avoid a losing 2010 anyway. With Washington, he'd struggle mightily AND he would get his ass kicked.

He'd certainly become the face of the Rams though.

Damn Tripp, you read my mind.

I wonder in what shape we had been if we had signed Jason Brown last offseason and drafted Michael Oher (if memory serves me right, there was some interest in Brown's part to come to Washington).

At least to the extent of the quality of the receivers.

I think Suh is going to be there at No. 4. And I think we probably won't take him.

Unless Suh was so awesome that he could play LT and DT. Then I think we'd pay him the combination of two starters salaries.

If Suh truly is the most dominant player in the draft, I think you take him. You can never have too many pass rushers.

Except when you have no one to throw the ball.

But on a 3-4, where would Suh fit? As a DE? Do was have a d-line of Haynesworth at DE, maybe Montgomery (or Justin Banan from Baltimore) at NT, and Suh at DE?

Except when you have no one to throw the ball.

Or if no one can throw the ball because they are flat on their asses due to the pudding of an offensive line.

I have no problem with Campbell starting, less comfortable if Brennan starts, but I would have a big problem with starting any College QB. There will also be some Free Agent QB's out there (although most sites say Campbell is the best FA QB) and mid to later round guys that could be drafted.

I am not convinced that QB is a huge priority at this moment.
