2010 Draft

Alright we officially suck!! Looking forward, though, I see some glimmers of hope. We have a 1st round tackle, Smith, 1st round DE Chris Long, and a 2nd round LB in James Laurinaitis, Adam Carriker, Leonard Little, and James Butler. Combine all those guys with Coach Spags, and I can see our D really coming around. It's not going to happen this year, but maybe next.
The offense, however, is flat out atrocious!! Granted we drafted Smith in the first, which should help, but other than Jackson what else do we have. I'm not sold on any of our WR's yet. Bulger is not the answer. He isn't and I don't care what "improvement" he's made.
So, I'm trying to decide what we need to do in 2010. Obviously we're going to be picking in the top 5, maybe top 3. What I'm trying to decide is whether we should pick a QB in the 1st round, a WR, or maybe some more O-Line help. If we go QB I would like to think we could get our hands on Sam Bradford. I'm skiddish about picking WR's in the first due to their high bust factor. If we go O-Line, there should be a quality QB available in later rounds. I'm leaning towards QB simply because I look at guys like Ryan, Sanchez, Flaco, etc that do well in their first years. Obviously they went into situations that would allow them to succeed, i.e- good ground game and good defense. If our D steps up, and S-Jax stays healthy, then a QB would be the right choice.
What do ya'll think?

QB first.
Then augment the team with proven free agents at both WR and DL.

You betcha
I agree with getting a WR in free agency. Plenty of good talent can be had that way. I just don’t know about the DL. I’m still holding out hope for them. Maybe I’m just a sucker!

Especially with the talent that won't resign
due to feuds with their current teams. Namely, Braylon Edwards and Brandon Marshall, although Marshall may stay if the Broncos keep winning like this. But Edwards could be had. Is next year officially uncapped or not?

Only if Denver
doesn’t make playoffs, otherwise he’ll probably re-sign

Only thing I disagree with...

i'm not sold on bradford
I’d prefer McCoy (even though he’s slated middle of the first)
or even Jake Locker.

We have Steven Jackson,
so I say build around him and take a quarterback first and sign a receiver and some offensive lineman. Then build up the defense in 2011 offseason.
S-St. Louis, R-Rams, D-Dallas, M-Mavericks, A-Arizona, D-Diamondbacks.

SJ39 should leave the rams. Im a huge rams fan but think about it by the time we bebuild jackson will be over his prime. He should leave and go somewhere where he can prove to the people on AP’s jock who the real best running back in the nfl is
I feel the same way for Namdi

Thats what I think too
Trade him while he has value because right now the Rams having him is useless. Draft picks and young talent for Jackson

Can't say I disagree.
And I love the dude. But I think he might be more valuable to the team in trade. But….we really don’t have anyone ready to step in for him so trading him would just create another damn hole to fill.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

I totally agree to trade Jax now for the best deal we can for some quality young players, that way the team isn’t rebuilt and ready to make a run with a wheelchair ridden runningback

To some extent
it depends upon what you can get for him. Remember we got Faulk for a 2nd and a 5th. If that’s all we would get, we should keep him because that isn’t going to get the job done. If we could get a couple of 1st rounders, then great, but it isn’t going to happen.

Keep S Jax!
I can’t get a grasp on the notion of trading off our one sure thing for an unknown in the draft. If we let Jackson go, then we’re filling a hole a RB on top of all the other glaring needs at so many different positions.
Why not draft a QB 1st that forces the opposing defense to respect the pass and open up some running lanes for Steven? A perfect example is New Orleans. Pierre Thomas comes out of obscurity and is now a beast out of the backfield due to the other team not stacking the line of scrimmage. Just think of what Jackson could do in a situation like that! You think he’s a beast now?! Good lord he would absolutely explode!
He was drafted for his running and receiving abilities. It’s not too often that you can find a genuine replacement for one dual-purpose back.
Don’t let the Rams become the Royals of the NFL. The minute you get some quality talent you let them go.

No one wants to trade Jackson because of his skills,
The concept is moot if we weren’t offered rediculous value. It probably won’t happen, but, as I mentioned before, someone has to take advantage of the raiders,(or a team willing to make a raiderlike trade). Why not us?

If we trade anyone trade...
Bulger all teams know he’s good but the reasons they’re doing bad is that the OL is horrible Avery is dropping passes like crazy Laurent Robinson is gone for the year. the person getting better is jason smith. Keep SJ39 as long as he won’t later on complain about how bad the Rams are. I have a scenario in mind
Bulger for a low cost WR and start Null or Boller

I've got a secret.
Teams don’t think much of Bulger. I don’t know this for certain, but I’m willing to take a shot and make that statement. He’s always been held in much higher regards with Rams fans (even considering the Warner fans who never even accepted Bulger).
With his contract and performance the past 3 years, he’s gonna be real tough to trade and get anything valuable in return. Plus, he has an injured shoulder right now. Why would you trade for a shell-shocked, old, QB who has a bum flipper and really hasn’t shown any real evidence he’s close to regaining his Pro-Bowl form and is signed through 2013?

what I mean by good is..
that a couple of years ago bulger put up Fantasy stats then the trouble began. Bruce left Pace and Holt left OL as strong as a toothpick and a couple of so so 1st round draft picks

please...
just get us a wide receiver that can actually catch the ball…or one that has had a decent amount of starts…its killing me watching sjax do decent against an 8 stacked box think how good he would be if teams had to respect the pass my god this rams team was crazy in the beggining for thinking they could get it done with these receivers

Does anyone think
that Dez Bryant will fall to the second round now? If we could get McCoy/Bradford first round and Bryant in the second round, that would be very nice.

Not me
I can’t imagine he falls to the 2nd cause of this. If he was doing lines off of a hooker paid for by an agent with an unregistered machine gun by his side…..maybe. But not for talking to Sanders.

Is Kevin Stevens in this year's draft?

I'm just now getting to the point
that now when I read the name “Dez Bryant” I don’t automatically think of “Dez White”……
