Sam Is The Man

The St. Louis Rams did indeed select Sam Bradford with the first overall selection in the 2010 NFL Draft. I believe Sam Bradford was the correct selection for the St. Louis Rams. He will now become the face of the St. Louis Rams. Sam will need quite a lot of help to get the Rams where they need to be. The Rams will need to continue to be productive in rounds 2 through 7 of the remaining 2010 NFL Draft. The below scouting report on Sam Bradford is from DraftCountdown.

Strengths:

Prototypical height with a frame that is still filling out --- Very intelligent with a good feel for the game --- Extremely accurate --- Outstanding touch, timing and anticipation --- Quick delivery --- Consistently throws a pretty spiral --- Decent athleticism --- Nice footwork and moves well within in the pocket --- Shows great ball handling ability --- Makes good decisions and takes care of the ball --- Tough and will stand tall against the rush --- Calm and composed --- Very competitive --- A team leader both on and off of the field --- Excellent work ethic --- Super productive.

Weaknesses:

Durability is a huge concern --- Just average arm strength --- Mechanics are not textbook and drops down to three-quarters at times --- Will have to adjust to working from under center --- Must learn to read defenses and go through progressions in a pro style offense --- Does not have a good feel for pressure --- Won't make a lot of plays with his feet --- Limited  experience --- Stats were  inflated by a spread system.

2010 NFL Draft What To Watch For

There are some great story lines and trade possibilities leading up to the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. In addition to following the St. Louis Rams I am very interested in how the entire first round will play out. I am very interested in the items below:

Will the St. Louis Rams trade with either the Washington Redskins or Cleveland Browns prior to the draft or even after they make their selection?

Will the Pittsburgh Steelers really attempt to trade two time Super Bowl Champion Ben Ben Roethlisberger?

Will the top playmaker in the draft C.J. Spiller go in the top 10? I believe he is a perfect fit for the Seattle Seahawks.

I believe the Kansas City Chiefs really want out of the #5 slot but will they be forced to just take the BPA?

We have heard the experts but do the teams actually value Bradford over Clausen, Suh over McCoy, and Okung over Williams?

Will the Oakland Raiders once again reach and make a horrible top 10 selection?
Will the New York Jets create an insane secondary by selecting Taylor Mays?

Seattle and San Francisco have 4 picks within the top 17 selections in the draft. Both teams have an outstanding chance to greatly improve their roster. How much further ahead of the Rams will they pull with these selections?

Denver seems like a logical fit for Dez Bryant but will a team trade up and beat them to the punch?

Which top 10 talent will free fall, Berry, Spiller, Haden, Clausen?

Will Tim Tebow find himself selected in the first round?

What are you looking forward to watching, let us know.

Draft Day is here ENJOY!

Why Sam Bradford Should Be The #1 Pick

Well I still think that Sam Bradford is the pick the St. Louis Rams need to make to start the 2010 NFL Draft. During my radio interview with BlogTalkRadio on Friday I gave some reasons as to why I believe Bradford is the pick for the Rams. Below is a recap of the reasons I believe that make Bradford the pick:

To win in this NFL you need a accurate quarterback and Sam Bradford was deadly accurate in college. It is time to get a quarterback that can get the ball to the wideouts. Look at the quarterbacks of the 12 teams that made the playoffs in 2009 and you will see a lot of stars on that list.

The Super Bowl featured Drew Brees against Peyton Manning. Do you know the names of the defensive tackles in that game? Exactly we need a stud quarterback and that is Sam Bradford.

The St. Louis Rams were 29th in attendance last year and a big name quarterback could put some butts in the seats and spark some interest in a franchise which has been losing its fan base.

The Rams averaged 10.9 points per game in 2009. The Rams are in dire need of playmakers and some offensive weapons.

The Rams missed out on taking Cutler, Flacco, Ryan, Sanchez and Bradford how long can they wait to draft a top tier QB?

Steven Jackson will be 27 when the season starts it is time to get him some help and take some pressure off of him.

The Rams already have defensive tackles Adam Carriker, Clifton Ryan, Darell Scott and Fred Robbins on the roster do we truly need to spend 60 million dollars on a DT?

Is a defensive tackle that costs 60+ million really a good value? Albert Haynesworth who signed a 100 million dollar contract with the Washington Redskins is on the trading block. Haynesworth has averaged only 42 tackles a year over the last year years. Is that impact? Glenn Dorsey who had the same accolades in 2008 as Suh is getting now has averaged 50 tackles and one sack per year for the Chiefs who still have an awful defense.

People say if Bradford is a bust he will set the franchise back a decade. Why? The Rams gave Chris Long was given 29 million guaranteed and Jason Smith was given 33 million and we have not received much in a way of return from them yet. How come they don't set the franchise back a year? At some point you have to try. You have to pull the string and make the selection, why not now.

I am very worried with the Rams ownership in flux that Chip and Lucinda will continue to just save money and that means trading down. The Rams could trade down with either Washington or Cleveland and take Jimmy Clausen if they believe he is as talented as Bradford. The guaranteed money at #4 or $7 would be much less than at #1 plus he would be the second qb drafted. Would the Rams really trade down just to save money, I think they would.

Rams Workout Bradford One Last Time

Friday the St. Louis Rams worked out Sam Bradford for the last time prior to the 2010 NFL Draft which will start on Thursday April 22nd. Only Pat Shurmur and quarterbacks coach Dick Curl of the Rams were at the session. The Rams worked out Bradford as if he was going through a practice. Unlike his pro day workout the Rams asked Bradford to perform different activities to check out his footwork, mobility and decision making. Also Bradford only threw to two different receivers tight end Jermaine Gresham and wideout Adron Tennell. I find it interesting that Billy Devaney and Steve Spagnuolo would not attend but they are probably busy stacking their board for the upcoming draft. Bradford seems to be able to do anything asks of him during his workouts and should be the #1 pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.

St. Louis Rams Pre-Draft Visits

The 22 players listed below will be in for pre-draft visits with the St. Louis Rams, some interesting choices in my opinion. If you are interested in Sam Bradford you need to be interested in Jermaine Gresham so I am curious about his absense from this list. I would like to see Ben Tate or some other running backs that will be available after the first round. Jerry Hughes or Devin McCourty could be nice pickup at #33 but I wish the Rams would also bring in Kareem Jackson CB from Alabama. I also like Dennis Pitta the mature 25 year old TE on Brigham Young.

Biggest Day In St. Louis Rams History

The offseason is the time to be optimistic and over the top so I am going to start
with the following statement; tomorrow could be the biggest day in St. Louis Rams history since February 3, 2002 when Adam Vinatieri made the game-winning 48-yard field goal as time expired in Super Bowl XXXVI. That's right I will say it, Sam Bradford's Pro Day workout on Monday March 29th could go down as a huge day in Rams history.

On his Pro Day Sam Bradford will throw for NFL team scouts and executives in Norman Oklahoma on Monday at 11AM. Sam will perform only throwing drills, no running or lifting will be included. The Rams recently met with Bradford in Florida and will take a very close look at him on Monday. All eyes will be on Bradford's surgically repaired throwing shoulder which cost him most of his season.

Sam Bradford is best known for his accuracy. Bradford now at 6'4" and 235 pounds completed almost 68 percent of his passes while at Oklahoma for 88 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. Bradford's accuracy and velocity on Monday could be worth millions. Experts have it 50/50 on the St. Louis Rams drafting either Sam Bradford or Ndamukong Suh with the first overall pick on April 22nd in the 2010 NFL Draft.

ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay says the top pick in this year's draft is Bradford's to lose

CBS - A good day from Bradford, and it makes sense for a team that needs both a face of the franchise and a legitimate starting quarterback to go with it to make Bradford the No. 1 choice

Michael Lombardi of the National Football Post agrees that the Rams will draft Sam Bradford with the first overall pick in next month's draft as long as his pro day goes well on Monday.

Fans as well seem to have Bradford and Suh in an ongoing toss up. People point to Bradford as an injury risk coming off shoulder surgery. This is just a case of what have you done for me lately. Ndamukong Suh also had season ending knee surgery back in 2005 but that is no longer mentioned. If the best doctors in the country say Bradford is fine than he is fine. Anyone can be hurt on any play in the NFL.

As a fan I want to see the franchise quarterback selected. I don't want to continue to watch the Rams average a pitiful 10.9 points per game. The New Orleans Saints led the league with 510 points scored and went on to win the Super Bowl. Back in 1999 the St. Louis Rams led the NFL in scoring and went on to win Super Bowl XXXIV. Give me the stud QB. Bradford has all the tools, he scored 36 on the Wonderlic test, has great size and athletic ability, and has deadly accuracy.

The Rams last three first round draft picks were Adam Carriker, Chris Long, and Jason Smith, so far we have received basically no production from these players. I do not understand the fear people talk about with picking Sam Bradford #1 overall. Teams draft players every year that do not pan out, don't be afraid just select the right players. I believe Sam Bradford is the right player.

St. Louis Rams Need A QB

I would like to thank MrTrojanRam for posting a funny yet disturbing video of Rams quarterback low-lights from the 2009 season. If anything screams Sam Bradford this video certainly does. Take a look and you will remember just how bad the Rams were in 2009. 6-42 in their last 48 games will a good/great defensive tackle change that?

Do St. Louis Rams Have A Poker Face?

The question is do the St. Louis Rams have a poker face? Sure the Rams signed free agent QB A.J. Feeley known for his solid backup play and teaching ability. Does this point to the clear fact that the Rams are going to draft Sam Bradford and play Feeley while Bradford prepares to take the reins? The Rams also signed 10 year veteran DT Fred Robbins. Will the Rams actually play Robbins at DT in a rotation with Clifton Ryan, Darell Scott and Adam Carriker or is he there to teach Ndamukong Suh a thing or two about the NFL? The big question is have the Rams improved their draft status with these moves or do other teams see through the Rams poker face? I still believe they are going to draft Sam Bradford first overall.
