Lets be realistic, when your starting a franchise, what should you draft? QB OR DT? Let me think.... O yea QB. Hell we have the best DT in the league and you saw what it got us (4-12). Point is everything starts with a QB, yes even Oline. If you don't have a QB (Vikings before Favre), you won't be real successful.

I don't think Tripp was saying that we should draft Suh, merely stating that he is not as dominant as someone made him out to be.

And your Vikings example is horrible. Minny had everything (elite defense, very good offensive line, good running game, and decent receivers), EXCEPT a QB to be successful. While Favre was the icing on the cake, one of the reasons they were successful, was because that offensive line kept Favre upright.

We are far from being just a QB away from being successful.

I don't think I'd build my O-Line around a player like Colt Brennan, but I'm open to the idea that this is only because he wasn't drafted high enough.

Suh, I believe is way more talented than Ngata. Suh is equally talented as a pass rushing end as well as run stopper. the guy will be an instant force for which ever team he plays for. Can you imagine how much better Chris Long would be with Suh on the other side in a spags defense... Pretty scary

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

And I can truly say with confidence that between now and April 22nd, So many draft analysts will predict this guy definitely going here and that guy definitely not going there. Sam Bradford hasn't even had his pro day people/schefter. He could go out there and throw wobbly balls or not be able to make all the throws, or his shoulder may wear down in workouts, whatever, I don't know, what I'm saying is anything can happen, plus theres also a guy named Jimmy Clausen who could do way better than Bradford, and have the Rams going hey lets take him, also maybe the rams want people to think that their going to take Bradford at number 1, and get teams like us or the seahawks, browns, or bills going "Hey lets swap picks with them before its too late."

By the way, if we were to get Bradford, have any of you thought that maybe thats a good thing from a different standpoint, the fact that he's part native american, and us being the Redskins, who go to court with Native Americans over the team name, wouldn't getting Bradford be like a resistance from us going to court away from the Native Americans for a while? Just a thought.

I just want offensive help with our first pick.

If the Rams take Bradford they would be like the the portland trailblazers pasing on Jordan for Sam Bowie. Then later pasing on Kevin Durant for Greg Oden. Suh is the closest player to Rev. White. This must be a smoke screen!

You can't say that, Bradford is considered the best QB in the draft and has been for 2 years now.. Suh is a beast but who says he is going to be worth the number 1 pick? I remember when ppl thought Dan Wilkinson was worth the pick...

[diehardskin2982]

I disagree with you Inok because a team has a higher likelihood to hit than miss with a Dend like Suh. It's like when the Texans took Mario...time has proven that they made the right decision. As good as Bradford could be, he still would have no one if drafted by the Rams up front good enough to protect him; therefore he is likely to run the risk of reinjuring the shoulder.

I can't argue about Suh he is amazing, but Bradford could become an elite QB within 2-3 years. Like Brees did in SD

I think the Rams may actually have a better line than ours...I do know that they are pretty young, with almost all of the starters under 30. It seems that Jason Smith had injury problems this season (concussion), but if he's healthy, that could improve their line. I'm sure they could use a veteran in that offensive line.

The Rams do need a QB, and they also need receivers, they have no one to throw the ball to. Fortunately for them, they don't need to pick up a WR in the first round, so they could go ahead and pick up Bradford in the first round.
