NFL Draft

With much forethought and wisdom, the NFL designed their league such that the worst team would draft first, and hopefully not be so pathetic the following year. The Rams draft first this year, and it's a virtual certainty that one week from today, they will have a new quarterback.

It could be Sam Bradford from Oklahoma. This is the likely selection should the Rams hold onto the #1 selection.

Bradford is probably the best quarterback in the draft, physically and intellectually, but he miised most of his senior season due to injury, and for that reason alone, is somewhat of a risk.

It could be Jimmy Clausen from Notre Dame. This is a possible scenario should the Rams do the smart thing and trade out of the #1 slot (which means a lot of money for one player!).

If Clausen were to be drafted by the Rams, I wonder if they'd also be interested in drafting Golden Tate, Clausen's favorite receiver?

It could be Colt McCoy from Texas, a very capable quarterback who may still be available in the early part of the second round.

The Rams are also desperate to upgrade at wide receiver and defense, and could use help everywhere else, too!

In a new format this year, the first round of the draft begins Thursday night. If you watch any of it, the first hour should be interesting.
