Report: Rams scouts leaning towards Ndamukong Suh

Ndamukong Suh is looked at as one of the top two prospects in this year’s draft class. The defensive tackle out of Nebraska was widely believed to be the consensus number one pick in April’s draft, so it was a surprise when the report of Sam Bradford possibly topping the Rams draft board came out.

Now there are new reports coming out as to who the Rams could be favoring.

According to Len Pasquarelli of ESPN, some of the St. Louis Rams scouts are “becoming increasingly convinced that that Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is the best player available.” Oklahoma defensive tackle Gerald McCoy comes in at second on the list.

A few teams are hesitant to shell out the money a top pick receives, unless it is at one of the premier positions. That is what fuels reports of St. Louis looking at Bradford. Quarterbacks are worthy of the top dollar, but in this draft it could be a mistake to reach for one of the top QBs.

St. Louis needs help everywhere on their roster — or else they wouldn’t have had the number one pick in the draft. They would be wise to put position aside and just draft the best player available, which in this case is Suh. Suh would bring a dominant presence to the defensive line and create a pass rush up the middle that the Rams have lacked.
