Rams meet with Bradford leading up to pro day

by Dan Kadar on Mar 19, 2010 9:30 AM EDT in 2010 NFL Draft

Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting that Rams officials met with Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford in Florida this week.

Sources told the paper's Brian Burwell that general manager Billy Devaney and offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur met Bradford where he's working out.

There has been speculation for some time that St. Louis will target Bradford with the first overall pick. He will hold a personal pro day on March 29. Don't be surprised if he has a private session set up with the Rams shortly thereafter.

Rams Need a Franchise QB but...

Is Sam Bradford the guy??? Cincinnati thought Akili Smith was and he wasn’t.. The Raiders thaought that Jamarcus Russell was… that obviously is not the case…

Sam Braqdford may be that Franchise QB that the Rams need.. The safe pick though would be to take Suh with #1 Overall and take a QB later in the Draft, or trade for someone that can be your Franchise QB like Kolb.

You point out 2 bad ones, but there’s some good ones too….Peyton Manning, Matt Ryan…

Yes there are good ones too

but I would bet there are far more disappointments than there are success stories.

Then offer a block buster deal..

another option would be to trade for Jason Cambell and take a project to develop in the 3rd or 4th round.

Really?

A running game that can not get short yardage, an O Line with huge holes and a recieving corps with little or no experience…

Yes he was only in for 3 games 1 vs the Saints and the other 2 were against very poor teams, so there is not a whole lot to go off of… but it is still a hell of a lot more than what you have on Bradford or any other Rookie. Would it not make more sense to gamble less on someone who has at least had a few years learning under one of the best QB coaches in the league, than it would be to invest so much in someone who in reality has shown nothing.
