Bradford statement

[richtree]

I think all Rams fans should be extremly happy today. Many Ram fans are saying, "Clausen and McCoy are both available and we should have taken Suh or traded out of the #1 slot."


I personal think that is not the right way to look at this.

I think all Rams fans should be even happier with their selection of Bradford. If no team wanted to trade up to get Clausen or McCoy at the end of round 1, it just greater confirmed the disparity between Bradford and the rest of the QB's.

I myself wanted Suh and Vick, Pike, or even McCoy but after seeing Clausen and McCoy not present in round 1 and that a team would actually take Teabow over the aforementioned just greater confirmed the franchise's selection in SAM BRADFORD.

I know if we took Clausen #1 overall there is no way he would have made it out of the first round or even past the top 12 picks. And definately Teabow wouldn't be selected over Bradford.

So, after greater analysis, I hope the Ram Nation can see that this is the best pick for our franchise.

Don't be the gambler that roots against his selections because he couldn't get his bets in to his bookie/vegas. You should want to win and we won with our selection and the #1 pick.

I myself understand this being a Suh fan, Vick promoter, and Tony Pike hyper....

But yet I know we made the best pick at #1 and hopefully go :

G. Tate / A. Benn Round #2 <---this is the pick we can fight over ..offensive, denfensive, trade....

but NOT Sam Bradford !!

thx

Good post richtree, and as one of those "We shoulda taken Suh because Clausen/McCoy are there at 33" people, I am glad that we took Bradford, because yes, it does show that he's by far the top QB in this draft. The fact that a QB developer like Holmgren wanted him badly shows that he's a good prospect. I just hope now that we give him the tools so that he can succeed.

Agreed. With Avery's, and the rest of our WR core, being injury plagued and inexperienced I think taking a WR in Round 2 is a must.

I think Tate or Benn. Tate can do it all and provided the athleticism that Billy D was talking about all off-season.

Don't discount Benn as he is super-phsical to compliement our running game as a blocker and bring some swagger that our offense is lacking.

We should also consider TE in round 3 as well. I know we could use a DE/CB but we have to give our 50 million dollar man help first with some weapons.
