With the First Pick in the NFL Draft the St. Louis Rams Select:

Ndamukong Suh - Defensive Tackle - Nebraska

After long debate and tossing around the idea of taking a QB we decided to help our struggling defense first. We think we can address the QB situation later in the draft or maybe in free agency. To be honest had there been a legit #1 QB in this draft class we would have went that route but there is not one.

With the 2nd pick in the NFL Draft the Detroit Lions select:

Gerald McCoy, DT - Oklahoma

The Lions pass rush has been lacking for the past few, well um decades. Unless the Rams shock the world and not let Suh fall into the Lions' lap they will go to the next best option. Gerald McCoy is a run-stopping mammoth who can fight through double teams and put serious pressure on the QB while clogging up the middle.

I can not remember when there were so many defensive ends projected to go this high. Its also amazing to me with all the 3-4 schemes in the NFL that this would be one of the top positions. The more I think about it the more I think there will be surprises.

With 3-4 schemes you really need a dominant DT to really survive in the scheme because the DT primarily has 2 gaps he has to defend. The 3-4 schemes that are most successful because their DT is a stud ala Haloti Ngata in Baltimore.

What scheme does Oklahoma play?

With the 3rd pick in the NFL draft the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select:

Eric Berry, S, Tennessee

The Bucs would love to land Suh or McCoy here. With both off the board, they change gears an go with saftey Eric Berry. From what I've read, he's billed as an Ed Reed clone. Berry is a natural leader and has been the best college player at his position the past couple of years. He's a huge/immediate upgrade to the Bucs secondary and the type of player the franchise can build the team around.

1.04 Washington Redskins select Sam Bradford QB Oklahoma

The Shanahan era begins with a young QB prospect for Shanny and his son to develop. Bradford will be the man in WAS and Jason Campbell will be traded to the Raidahs to sit behind J Russell. It will happen, mark my words. Campbell is not the biggest issue but like the rest of his career he will bear the brunt of the blame as he is pushed out the door and the Skins finally get their Franchise QB.

With the 5th pick in the draft the Kansas City Chiefs select:

- 5. Kansas City (4-12) (Mike) - Russell Okung - OT Oklahoma St.



In an ideal world (I dont think it will fall like this because this guy would be a steal here) this is what the Chiefs are hoping for is Okung to slide to them. I think he goes earlier because I think in this scenario Bradford and McCoy are being selected way to early. Chiefs need to block the moat down for Cassell and Okung can do that for them.
