Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread

Tonight I learned how much I dislike Jon Gruden.

Betcha the Rams will be spending most of the next 16 or whatever hours on the phone.

The Vikings have to take Claussen, but the Chiefs and Claussen could be interesting. Weiss as the OC.

Cassel isn't the guy?

Hindsight being 20/20...Suh + Clausen > Bradford + 2nd round pick for the Rams

He's the guy signed to a ridiculous contract, but I don't see him as "the guy."

that would have been interesting. I wonder if they "could have" done that....

I know that would have given the Rams a QB and Suh but I think if the Rams can block for Bradford and get him a shiny new WR, you could see why they didn't pick Suh, sure, Suh could be a great DT but Bradford could be a great QB. The Rams will get plenty of offer for the 33rd pick, if they don't like what they are offered, they'll either draft a DT, RB or WR. The Lions look like they had a good draft, though.

I think Clausen is going to disappoint. I think the Rams got the best QB in the draft.... by far. I'm just not entirely sure that Suh wouldn't have been the better pick.

So we released Bulger...and we have 2 back ups right now, right? So who starts the first game of the season?

Well, the Rams actually have 3 backups, you're forgetting Reilly. Anyways, I think Bradford will start Week 1. The situation may be similar to the Ravens' situation in 2008, when Flacco beat out Troy Smith in the preseason against the Rams because Smith was sick. Expect a training camp battle for the starting job.

If Cleveland really did offer "most of their picks" to trade up to the #1 spot as was rumored, IMO the Rams whiffed BIG time. With that, the Rams probably could have come away with a good OT, Claussen or McCoy, and two good receivers just in the first two rounds, vs. ending up with Bradford and one good receiver. Considering the holes on the Rams roster, that is a real head shaker.
