Report: St. Louis Rams await Sam Bradford workout

It is widely believed that Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford will be the first selection in the 2010 NFL Draft come April. Bradford has been rising up boards and he will look to prove his shoulder is no longer a concern when he works out for NFL scouts today in Norman. This will be Bradford’s first public workout.

However, don’t expect Bradford’s first workout to be the determining factor for St. Louis. According to a report on ESPN.com:

"Bradford will have his first public workout on Monday in front of the Rams and other NFL teams at Oklahoma’s pro day in Norman. He has been working out with former NFL quarterback coach Terry Shea, who has scripted a 63-throw session that will include a wide variety of passes. The first 13 throws will be to stationary receivers.A team source said the Rams aren’t looking to be “wowed” by Bradford, knowing this is his first full-blown throwing session since he underwent right shoulder surgery to reconstruct the AC joint he damaged during his junior season. The team has analyzed Bradford’s college game video and team doctors are comfortable with his medical data, the source added.”"

It is highly unlikely that the Rams will wait that long to decide if Bradford will be their pick. Their willingness to go down to the wire tells me he will be the pick and they will be trying to negotiate with him leading up to the draft. When Bradford is in town three days before the draft for his private workout, his agent will probably be crunching numbers and trying to get his client’s signature on a contract with the Rams.
