The NFL Draft is approaching quickly, and we still aren't sure who'll be taken #1 overall. The Rams have the pick and they, well, suck. Their offensive line is like swiss cheese, Bulger is broken down, a shell of his former self, since Holt and Bruce left, they haven't had anyone spectacular to catch the football, Steven Jackson is busy assaulting chicks with weird names, and their defense certainly didn't win them any games last year. They're a mess.
Where do you start? Nda-whatever Suh isn't going to make them a winner, but he's probably the surest pick in the draft and will be a playmaker. Sam Bradford is the best quarterback in the draft, and quarterback is the most important position, but with nothing around him, how will he perform? Any other options?
I think the Rams should take Suh, and start to rebuild slowly. Start to put pieces in place, particularly in the trenches, and you'll improve as a team. Bradford isn't going to turn the ship around by himself, and if you draft him now you're going to be throwing him into the lion's den. Besides, you're going to be in the same position next year regardless, so just take the best available player and get some O-linemen this year, and next year take Jake Locker. Problem solved.
