Unless Suh was so awesome that he could play LT and DT. Then I think we'd pay him the combination of two starters salaries.

If Suh truly is the most dominant player in the draft, I think you take him. You can never have too many pass rushers.

Except when you have no one to throw the ball.

But on a 3-4, where would Suh fit? As a DE? Do was have a d-line of Haynesworth at DE, maybe Montgomery (or Justin Banan from Baltimore) at NT, and Suh at DE?

Or if no one can throw the ball because they are flat on their asses due to the pudding of an offensive line.

I have no problem with Campbell starting, less comfortable if Brennan starts, but I would have a big problem with starting any College QB. There will also be some Free Agent QB's out there (although most sites say Campbell is the best FA QB) and mid to later round guys that could be drafted.

I am not convinced that QB is a huge priority at this moment.

And I can truly say with confidence that between now and April 22nd, So many draft analysts will predict this guy definitely going here and that guy definitely not going there. Sam Bradford hasn't even had his pro day people/schefter. He could go out there and throw wobbly balls or not be able to make all the throws, or his shoulder may wear down in workouts, whatever, I don't know, what I'm saying is anything can happen, plus theres also a guy named Jimmy Clausen who could do way better than Bradford, and have the Rams going hey lets take him, also maybe the rams want people to think that their going to take Bradford at number 1, and get teams like us or the seahawks, browns, or bills going "Hey lets swap picks with them before its too late."

By the way, if we were to get Bradford, have any of you thought that maybe thats a good thing from a different standpoint, the fact that he's part native american, and us being the Redskins, who go to court with Native Americans over the team name, wouldn't getting Bradford be like a resistance from us going to court away from the Native Americans for a while? Just a thought.

BLASPHEMY!!! :FIREdevil

In reality, I don't see Suh falling past Tampa Bay though. Although, I wonder if any team would be willing to trade up to pick up Suh?

Yeah but in this case you're look at the situation as a Redskin fan. In terms of the Rams they've spent the last 4 out of 5 first round picks on lineman. Which is only slightly less worse then drafting recievers 3 years in a row, alright maybe not nearly as bad but it's still overkill. And when you don't have a QB your team can only go so far.

If they get Suh they'll just be a less expensive version of us in terms of their record. I want options at the #4 pick but I can't fault the Rams for taking him if they do.

Of course lets not forget the Rams were looking to possibly trade back with the Bucs so I guess Smootsmack is on to something here about elaborating on the possibility that Bradford will be their first pick, not first overall.

I just want offensive help with our first pick.

If the Rams take Bradford they would be like the the portland trailblazers pasing on Jordan for Sam Bowie. Then later pasing on Kevin Durant for Greg Oden. Suh is the closest player to Rev. White. This must be a smoke screen!

Yeah my sources are just as good as his.

The Rams, we're talking about the Rams. The team with two first round OT's. I mean I want us to take Bradford but right now we're talking about The Rams taking Bradford and why it makes sense.

My bad, yeah they should take Bradford, makes sense for them.

Unlike us though, they figure to be picking in the top five or six next year, so their big question should be whether or not Bradford is the best quarterback in the next two drafts. And the answer, at least in terms of underclassmen, is probably yes. I'm guessing Locker isn't going to post a 67% completion season out of nowhere.

With that said, I'm not confident that he's actually a better pick for the Rams than is Jimmy Clausen. But without a doubt, the Rams should trade down if it's at all possible (it's not).
