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.

Bodies tend to heal and stuff like that. It's really weird.

CultBrennan59 no offense mAn but you don't know much about Sam bradfords capabilities. You watch "highlights" I watched his actual games on every snap. He has a cannon of an arm, is deadly accurate and is a great athlete. Did it ever cross your mind why this guy could be the number 1 player picked after he basically sat out a yr? There is a reason why most experts compare him to the likes of drew brees and Peyton manning. He has that "it" factor . I like clausen too and I wouldn't mind drafting him only if Sam is gone at 4.

When I watch this guy I see two QB's that he's capable of being:

Kurt Warner (Good)

and

Alex Smith (Bad)

And aren't highlights supposed to be all of his good plays/the best plays he's had? Isn't that the point of highlights? So you're saying I should watch game film, because I need to see how bad he can be as well? Thats not being very defensive of your QB in this argument.

Didn't Ryan Leaf get compared to Dan Marino? Did Joey Harrington get considered to be the best QB of that draft? Wasn't Big Ben considered overrated because of the easy conference he played in? You, nor I can definitively say what Sam Bradford will become in the NFL.

Do you know how many times I've heard some QB has the IT factor? A lot. I remember hearing Joe Theismann and Mike Patrick up in the both saying that our very own back up QB, Colt Brennan, has the IT factor. I believe that Clausen also has the IT factor, and hey maybe Tebow has IT as well.

Also I very very much disagree with the whole Bradford has a Cannon arm thing. I believe Peyton has a cannon arm, Matt Stafford has a cannon arm, McNabb, Favre, Cutler, Jamarcus Russell, Josh Freeman, and Flacco have Cannon arms. I don't understand how you can say that Bradford has a cannon arm, especially Right Now, after having shoulder surgery. But back to my point, even before he messed up his shoulder, the balls were coming out wobbly and somewhat slow at times. I'm watching Clausen throw a slant as well as a hitch route and that ball gets slung and gets there so fast, I watch Bradford do the same thing and the ball gets there, but slightly later than Clausen's. Bradford does have great awareness of when to get rid of the ball and move, which is far greater than Jason Campbell's, thats for sure. But the thing that I really want to see is how these QB's play against NFL defense, and audibling out of plays or certain protections. Clausen I know has gone against at least one definite NFL type Defense, and thats USC's. Bradford's defenses he has gone against are mostly college type defenses, maybe Texas's is considered a NFL defense but other than that, no not really any other schools. I would have really of wished that Sam had not of gotten injured because I wanted to see how he would do behind such a bad OL, much like ours.

Great post and I agree every year it is some QB that is the next best thing and then they fizzle out into nothing.

Bradford did face an NFL level defense, Florida in the NCAA Championship.

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.

Are you serious? You really think we should take Davis with the number 4 pick overall?

[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

[The Goat]

From the Rams standpoint Bradford probably makes sense.

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.

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).

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.
