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

[skinsfaninok]

Maybe this is why we may trade down from number 4... Get Clausen around 7 or 8. This is why I really want Sam Bradford.. He's got such a good upside that he may go number 1, and he didn't even play last season!!

Uhhh don't they like, know about his shoulder. It's only been discussed like, I don't know, like uh 10,000 times.

Watch more people in our fan base suddenly lobbying for us to draft Bradford. People love what they can't have.

Personally though I don't blame the Rams at all. I mean they already have two first round D-Lineman and two first round O-Lineman (4 out of their last 5 first round picks). It's one thing to build from the lines out but at some point it becomes overkill. Bradford to the Rams makes a ton of sense. Of course that leaves us free to get Jimmy or Okung. Life is still good.

Schefter tends to be pretty accurate. I would love to see Suh fall
It won't happen though. Let's take Davis at 1 and then best available at 2.

[skinsfaninok]

His shoulder is apparently "Ready to go" And he is by far the best QB in this years draft. Clausen is pretty good but Bradford would have been number 1 last year

From the Rams standpoint Bradford probably makes sense.

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.

Exactly, they have nothing.. He would become their face of the franchise.. And why would some of you want to draft SuH? Yea he's amazing but obviously our 2 biggest needs are OT, and QB.

Agreed. They are in desperate need for a QB and for them this would make sense for them.

St. Louis has a very young offensive line, they spent some money on Jason Brown (center) and took Jason Smith in the first round last season. The oldest player in the line has been in the league for 6 years. Although they were in the top ten in giving up sacks (still better than Washington), that young line helped Steven Jackson finish second in rushing yards.

With a year under their belt, this offensive line could give Bradford the protection that he needs to be successful. The strong running game of Steven Jackson will also help, and it would be smart for St. Louis to pick up a couple of wideouts from free agency and later in the draft.

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.

Honestly, what does Schefter know? When you get right down to it, he knows just about as much as you or I do. My tea leaves say no one knows. After the first two picks everything goes out the window.

[skinsfaninok]

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.

[SmootSmack]

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

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).

We wouldn't have Orakpo, but the offense would have been productive this year.

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