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

[Defensewins]

IF Okung is gone and Suh or McCoy are steill there you take one of them. No question.
Bradford is over rated.

Heck I'd be tempted to take CJ Spiller. Would hate to be the team that passes on the next Chris Johnson

If it was between Berry, Suh, and McCoy...who would you take SS?

Assuming our roster stays as is (as in we don't trade Landry) I give the edge to Suh. I think Suh has the chance to be Haynesworth at his best, a dominating game changing DT. McCoy to me is another Renaldo Wynn type, a solid run-stopping DT/DE who you can count on to do the dirty work for years to come. I want more than that at #4

Why get someone we already have (i.e. the haynesworth comparison) If we didnt have Hanyesworth i could picture it. And we will be using more of a 3-4 then a 4-3 so we dont need a dominating game changing DT. we'd need a NT. Suh is not a NT, n neither is McCoy. So now we use the #4 pick on a DT that we'd be sliding out to DE in a 3-4? So ill repeat, take a DLineman high in a defense based on DE's eating up blocks so the LBs can make plays? Berry would be the more "game changing" player for the redskins and their new scheme. Id like to reiterate tho, that Okung should be the pick if hes not swept up by the lions.

And how Bruce Allen keeps saying "we're gonna take the best player for the REDSKINS" makes it sound like hes bracing the Redskins nation for him to not grab an OT with that #4 pick

Suh or McCoy can play nose tackle, just like Jay Ratliff can.

You'll feel better in one or two years when Chris Johnson starts to break down. Running back early is the type of pick you make when you're close to a Super Bowl. For a team like us struggling in the trenches I'd say we need more grunt players. In fact I'd take Rolando McClain before I'd take Spiller. Heck I'd take McClain over Berry and McCoy.

The thing is if they don't like Clausen as you say and Okung is selected by the Chiefs at 2 via a trade then I think I'd like us to either be super cool and trade down, or draft Buluga. The only thing though that worries me about Buluga is his injury history with the thyroid condition and the shoulder problems. However from a talent perspective he's easily worth a top 10 pick. Maybe a small reach in this draft given the defensive talent at the top but I feel like he could quite possibly emerge as the best tackle of this draft, though Okung is obviously the most likely.

As much as I'd be tempted, truthfully I'd prefer Best...and I wouldn't take him at #4

Who said Okung was going to the Chiefs via a trade?

THAT WAS YOU YA BASTARD! Either way I guess your strategy is "Best" player available ha ha ha....oh that was lame.

How do you know that? The only people saying that the Rams were taking Suh were the mock draft experts. Todd McShay also told me that Anthony Davis was going to blow the combine wide open, that didn't happen either.

I hear that, but I don't think that Spiller is the only possibility of being the next CJ in the draft.

[skinsfaninok]

if Rams trde the number 1 pick for mcnabb they would be insane. And why would Philly trade him to an NFC team? That also makes no sense. Honestly I still think he stays in Philly and stl drafts Bradford. As much as I want to draft him my gut feeling (I do live in the same city as Sam) is he is a ram.

It's very unlikely that theres another CJ in this draft. And besides even if Spiller was, by the time we'd be ready to compete for a championship Spiller would most likely start to break down. I personally think he's going to be Reggie Bush 2.0. Very talented and dynamic but in order for him to be effective you're going to have to go our of your way to design stuff for him.

another CJ maybe not.. same you can argue another darren sproles in FA, but you may have someone that does well enough

obviously each had an impact without carrying their team

with your argument about him maybe becoming another bush or someone that breaks down I'd be way more likely to take that possibility in the 4-5th round range even if it meant one less year

I love it how Sam Bradford puts on 13lbs and all of a sudden now he's a lock to go first to the rams, and that we won't get him...Amazing what one mans opinion(schefter) does to the draft.

It's not just that. From a talent perspective he's easily worth the #1 pick. However aside from the shoulder injury that size makes people wonder how well he would take a beating at this level. Getting up to 236 makes him a tank by QB standards. In fact I think he put on a little more then the 14 pounds thats getting reported, given that he was listed as 214 during the season. Thats 22 pounds he's gained since the season most of it being muscle.

Basically Bradford took a concern and effectively neutralized it. Once they see him throw on his pro day then it will be very difficult for the Rams to pass on him.
