Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread

I hope the rumors that I've been hearing about the Rams drafting Bradford aren't anywhere near true. He's not the best quarterback prospect imo, let alone the best prospect in the draft.

You like Claussen more? or someone else?

Phins has a mancrush on Clausen like popeyecard had on Rey Mauleagluaaudaa.

Yeah, but his mancrush could beat up my mancrush.

Bradford will be the pick. He's really good. I think Suh is awesome, but the Rams need a QB badly.

Does anyone have detailed info on Bradford's shoulder injury and surgery? Did he tear the labrum?

Yeah, I like Claussen's potential more than I do Bradford's, however I wouldn't take either with the top pick. If the Rams were sitting five or so spots lower (or able to trade down to that area) I'd have no issue with them taking Claussen or, to a lesser extent, Bradford. I just don't see either as top pick talent.

Bradford will be a great NFL QB as long as he has 8 seconds to throw every pass.

Bradford will be a great NFL QB as long as he has 8 seconds to throw every pass.

Which won't happen here. We shouldn't be looking for a top of the draft caliber QB, we need to get a decent QB through FA and draft the most talented player available (whether that is Suh or G. McCoy is debatable I guess).

I still like the idea of signing Vick and drafting Suh.

I was talking to a buddy of mine, and it kind of occurred to me that this could end up being a lot like the Alex Smith/Aaron Rodgers draft.

Smith came from a spread offense, and was said to be insanely accurate, nice athleticism, and a great frame for the QB position.

Rodgers came from the pro style offense, but had questions about his overall talent and tools.

The spread offense took years to develop, and still hasn't shown the ability to translate to NFL schemes.

Rodgers is one of the bright young stars at the QB position in the NFL.

Take Clausen, not the kid that has to be projected to the QB position in Bradford.

a far fetched comparison...if the rams pass on sam bradford b/c not all of his snaps were from under center they deserve another 1-15 record. that'd be dumb all the way around.

Explain to me how that isn't a spot on comparison.

It's close, but I think I'd take Clausen over Bradford. Claussen was very productive in a pro-style offense behind a pretty crummy offensive line that could not establish the run. Bradford's shoulder injury scares me a bit too.

OTOH, Clausen scored a 22 on the Wonderlich, and some off the field incidents make me question his maturity. Bradford scored a 36.

Neither guy makes me giddy, but I'd probably take Clausen ahead of Bradford.
