John Czarnecki of FOXSports.com writes that Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo would take Oklahoma defensive tackle Gerald McCoy with the No. 1 overall pick if the draft were today.
If the draft was today, the Rams would select Oklahoma defensive tackle Gerald McCoy because he is the player that head coach Steve Spagnuolo likes better. Fortunately for Rams fans who want a quarterback after passing on Matt Ryan and Mark Sanchez the past two Aprils, the team has seven weeks to change Spags’ mind. McCoy’s OU teammate, quarterback Sam Bradford, plans to throw and show off his surgically repaired right shoulder on March 25. A year ago, Bradford was the consensus top quarterback, ahead of Matthew Stafford, but he opted to return to play college football.
Right, and last week the Rams were all set on Sam Bradford. Next week, someone will report that the Rams are desperate to trade out of the top spot and the week after that they’ll be set on Dez Bryant.
I’m not ragging on Czarnecki’s report, but it is that time of year (i.e. the time of year in which all information must be taken with a grain of salt). There’s a very good chance that the Rams don’t know who they’re going to take and why should they? The draft is still roughly two months away and I’m sure Spagnuolo and GM Billy Devaney are pondering all of their options – as they should.
