Schefter: "There's no way" the Rams won't pick Sam Bradford at No. 1

7) Mike Iupati (the best guard to come out since Steve Hutchinson, has a mean streak, and I believe he could play in any offense)


10) Rolando McClain (didn't really do much at the combine, and people are saying he was good just because Saban's system makes him look good, I don't buy it, I also think 3-4 MLB is one of the last things we should worry about)

11) Maurkice Pouncey (the best center in the draft, big and mobile, but we'll probably get a later round center or just rely on Rabach with a later round rookie to groom; and don't sleep on Edwin Williams or Kory Lichtenstreiger)

Cult my friend, again with the all of a sudden about Bradford? Remember it was the media that kept saying the Rams were going to take Suh, now that the media has had a chance to get a better feeling for what the Rams are thinking they're going with the guy they should have picked to begin with.

As far as Iupati, I hope you're not one of the guys that complains about the penalties against Rabach. Iupati is a notorious holder and would be more the type of guy you'd keep around, not the type of guy you go out and get (sort of like Dockery for us right now, emphasis on the "sort of" part)

I don't think anyones really saying that McClain was good because of Sabans system in fact just the opposite. McClain is being touted as easily one of the best in terms of football IQ. He was basically the college defensive equivalent of Peyton Manning.

Quarterback of the defense and can be seen getting teammates aligned on film. Coaches rave about his understanding of the team's defensive scheme and work ethic in the film room. Locates the ball quickly and practices sound gap discipline. Can take a step towards the line of scrimmage against play action but recovers quickly. Quickly recognizes screens.

Personally I would love Pouncey. If we went two OL with our first and second round pick then he would be a steal. I get the feeling that he will eventually be the type of player that could be on par with Randy Thomas in his prime. Maybe not a pro bowler but definitely a beast. Then again if Thomas had played for the Eagles all these years he would easily have been a pro bowler.
