PrintNFL news is taking a back seat to March Madness this weekend, but with so many brackets now in shreds, so many spending orgies fueled by office pool winnings now on hold, we can get back to it.
First, some housekeeping. Big apologies for the spam comments lately. We're trying to get a handle on them. They're coming from an IP address in China, but at least you can get a deal on your next Ed Hardy t-shirt.
Please take a moment to complete this survey for SBN. This is all about making SBN and TST an even stronger community than we already are. It's not obtrusive and won't get you on any spammer's list.
One more thing before some links...a huge props to everybody that creates fan posts. We consistently have some of the best on any of the sports blogs, and I want to say thanks to our awesome community. Be sure to read the fan posts and recommend them so that others experience them as well. That said, here are a couple of recommended fan posts for your reading pleasure...
Clausen vs. Bradford
Clausen's name has really fallen out of the debate. In fact, I read somewhere the other day that the Rams now had S Eric Berry in their top four. Swatsky has a comparison.

So the Cardinals essentially swapt Dansbey for Joey Porter
I think Miami clearly got the better end of that.

BTW
Shutdown Corner released a 1-round mock; I suggest everyone check it out, not because it’s one of the 184,583 mocks that have us taking Bradford, but because of the picture. Great face.
You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In *St. Louis* his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well, *Steven Jackson* was the best.
That is
a pretty great picture. But only really if it’s accompanied by about 10 wins or so.
I also hate that China IP. Thanks, Van.
I almost feel like Clausen could be a steal and an under the radar signing pre-training camp if things go along according to RamsHerds’ pre-draft crush: here., but I’m also scared to think that in case things go according to plan.
It’s not that I don’t believe, it’s just that I’ve had little to believe in for ….5 years? 8 years? Ugh. It’s been a while.
THIS year's the year. I hope....
"I love having the ball in my hands in crucial situations"
Clausen says. I love that he says that. Really love it.

Yeah but just because you love somthing
doesn’t mean your good at it. I really like Suh and i really think he’s the sudden impact player we are looking for that will make a difference now and for years to come. Quarterbacks just scare me especially first round high investment ones. But if Bradford is drafted it wont be the end of the world I just really hope he’s worth the hype.

No, but there are a lot of players that don't love that
and my point is I want someone who does

If the March 29 pro day goes well
I think it’s all over but the shouting. I was listening to sports radio today and they talked about the recent meeting between the Rams and Bradford. They apparently sat him down to watch NFL game film. As every play started they asked him what the defense was going to do, how the receivers would react and which one should get the ball. They were blown away by how well he did in this. He could immediately identify the defense, knew what was going to happen, and where to throw the ball.
Of course, Devaney is still leaving it out there that he is open to a trade in the first round, but since the other teams now know Bradford is probably the pick, they know they have to make a big offer to have a chance to move up.
