The Rams are on the clock with the 1st Pick in the 2010 Draft.
Defensive Tackles Ndamukong Suh (Nebraska) and Gerald McCoy (Oklahoma) can provide the pressure up the middle teams covet, but the rebuild on the offense begins with this pick. The release of Marc Bulger all but seals the deal that Sam Bradford will be the first pick in the draft. The last few years the Rams have pinned their hopes on a resurgance of Bulger, but it hasn't materialized.
The trade of McNabb from the Eagles to the Redskins also eliminated a possible trade partner to move down to acquire more picks and possibly take Jimmy Clausen from Notre Dame. No one else may have the picks necessary to move up or be so inclined to trade up knowing that Clausen may fall back to them.
1st Pick: QB Sam Bradford (Oklahoma)
Bradford should rejuvinate an offense that's sputtered for the past few years. He's an accurate quarterback that fits well in the Rams passing game. The pressure this season shouldn't fall on Bradford, but more so on the offensive line to keep him on his feet and provide Jackson the running lanes he needs to take the pressure off their new QB. Expectations of Ryan or Flacco may be unrealistic as a first year quarterback, but a new direction is in order for St. Louis on offense to stabalize the long term future at QB.

This has gotta be it, unless they think Jason Campbell is of great value or they don't see Bradford as a "franchise QB". Good for us Redskins fans!
