McShay's 2010 draft

PrintI have seen some post on here that stated that since we had the same record as TB that it would come down to strength of schedule, which is accurate but it is the team with the weaker schedule that goes first. That means due to the fact that our schedule was not as strong as TB's we get Suh...I mean the first pick. Here is what Todd McShay had to say:
"OK ... Let's try this again. Our first run at our first 2010 mock draft hit a little speed bump when our projected No. 1 overall pick -- Washington QB Jake Locker -- announced he is returning to school for his senior season. So after reviewing team needs, we once again bring out the 2010 mock first round.
We've ordered this first round according to current NFL standings, and ties between teams with identical records are broken based on 2009 strength of schedule, with the team with the weaker strength of schedule getting the higher pick.
The purpose of this early mock draft is to get a feel for the top players on the board and where they might fit into the first round. We include the top draft-eligible underclassmen in this, and while it might bite us occasionally (see Locker, Jake), it gives a better and more fair representation of what the first round might eventually look like, as opposed to if we were to do this with only the senior prospects.
As it stands right now, defensive players and offensive tackles rule the top 10, with a quarterback and safety thrown in the mix as well.
St. Louis Rams
Record: 1-12
Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Reach for a quarterback or take the top defensive lineman in the class? Tough call, but we think the Rams should take Suh. Anyone who saw the Big 12 championship game knows what kind of effect the explosive Suh can have on a game. He is a disruptive run defender with the arm strength to toss aside blockers and the quickness to make plays behind the line of scrimmage. Although he isn't the most polished pass-rusher, he clearly has great potential in this area."
I have a tough time disputing that, but I am still crossing my fingers on trading down and acquiring as many picks as possible. Let the thought process continue.

Keep Your Fingers Crossed
unless a team covets Suh has the picks to trade and has the $$$$ to pay a 1st overall pick, we aren’t going anywhere with the #1
I Want The Rams Back In LA....The More They Lose The More Of A Chance That It Will Happen....Sorry St Louis You Cant Keep A Team(Twice)...Rams Come Home....We'll Be Here For You When You Do
Leave it to the Rams...
they’ll probably win one of their last 3 games and screw up thier chance at a 1st round #1 pick or do something really stupid like r-e-a-c-h for a QB with their 1st pick when they could probably get a very good QB prospect in the 2nd round. When it comes to the Rams wonders never cease.
I don’t want to be negative…I ove my Rams, though lowly they are…I’m just saying nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to this team.
Go Rams!
"We can't run. We can't pass. We can't stop the run. We can't stop the pass. We can't kick. Other than that, we're just not a very good football team right now." --- Bruce Coslett, New York Jets Head Coach circa 1990s
You should take a look at the Raiders
If you aren’t surprised by the Rams moves, you should compare it to what’s going on in Oakland. Its a huge disaster, and it’s all about the personnel decisions, both players and coaches. The Raiders make the Rams look like genuises.
