Where to start?  Well the Rams have won a grand total of 6 games in the past 3 years.  Yes 6 game.  Having the #1 pick will help though.  The consensus #1 pick right now is Ndamukong Suh but DT is not an area that is really on the Rams priority list so it will be interesting to see what the Rams do.

#1: QB:  The Rams can and will not go through another season of Marc Bulger.  The sad part is that Marc was a good QB but one can only be sacked so many times before the confidence starts to go.  The big question the Rams will have is do they reach for one of the top QBs, try and wait until round 3 or 4 and find a diamond in the rough, or do they trade for Michael Vick.

Draft Board:  Sam Bradford (Oklahoma), Jimmy Clausen (Notre Dame),  Dan LeFevour (Central Michigan)

#2: WR:  A #1 WR is a huge key to if the Rams will ever return to prominence.  Gone are the days of Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt and a new era has begun.  Unfortunatly that era has started with Donnie Avery and Laurent Robinson.  Dez Bryant would be a great option if the Rams were in position to take him but they will not reach that high for him.  That is why I think they will use their 2 round pick on a WR.  I think they need a tall WR so that would leave Golden Tate out of the mix and their should be some nice WRs left in the 2nd Round

Draft Board: Brandon LeFell (LSU), Damian Williams (USC), Arrellious Benn (Illinois)

#3: LB: I feel the Rams are one good LB away from having an above average LB core.  James Lauranaitis was the Rams defensive player of the year at MLB last year after some people questioned the decision to draft him over Rey Maualuga.  On the strongside, Mr. Irrelavent David Vorbora has turned into a diamond in the rough after he was suspended for steroid use early in the 2009 season.  Weakside LB still needs to be addressed though.  After trading Will Witherspoon to the Eagles at the trading deadline, Paris Lenon just could not carry his load over there so the Rams need to address that issue.

Draft Board: Sean Weathespoon (Mizzou), Navarro Bowman (Penn St.), Pat Angerer (Iowa)

   The Lions


Needs:  Every position except for Quarterback. Even there, they need a capable backup... due to Matthew Stafford going into the offseason injured after missing the last few games after being put on I.R.

That should sum it up... They want to build from the trenches first.  They will take either Suh or McCoy with the #2 pick.... and then, look for OL help and then defense and more defense.... After all, Jim Schwarz is a defensive minded coach....

The Redskins

The Redskins have the #4 Pick in the first round, 5th pick in the second round, and used their 3rd rounder in the supplemental draft. (We are only doing three rounds).

Needs- Quarterback of the future should be high on the list. Jason Campbell probably has had enough of Washington, and Washington has had enough of him. the Redskins are more to blame for his failure...I don't think he's played in the same offense in consecutive years in Washington. So it may be time to move on for both parties, or at the very least plan for the future.

Possibilities 1st Round- Jimmy Clausen, Sam Bradford/Ndakumong Suh, Eric Berry
                  2nd Round- Tim Tebow, Colt McCoy, Jevan Snead/ Jahvid Best

It all depends on Bradford's rehab. If Jimmy Clausen is available (if the Rams don't eat him up), the n look for them to go after Clausen first. Bradford would be their 2nd choice. And if Clausen is gone, and Bradford's rehab is not promising, they will take the best player available...which Could be Suh or possibly Berry.

If they take Suh, they still may be looking for a quarterback. If Tebow or McCoy, look for the Redskins to take either one of them in the 2nd round. If they have satisfied their QB position in the first round, then expect the Redskins to go after a runningback. Potentially Jahvid Best, should he be around. Really, at this point the Redskins would be reaching to try to get an offensive tackle here. Strange things can happen in the draft, and things can change drastically in front of you...The Redskins maybe the team that cannot miss in the first and second round if they just take the next best available player.

The Chiefs

Well the Chiefs won't draft a QB in the 1st round I don't think.

The new regime is in place and I would think that things will be on the upswing in KCMO. The community was in need of ridding itself of King Carl and his 5 year plan.

The Chiefs really need OLine help in a bad way. It seems that Russell Okung is the favorite for their pick at #5. Don't look for them to go DLine or QB with the #5 pick, but everything else is up for grabs. Okung is a safe bet at this point unless he has a bad combine.

With the 36th pick it will likely be a best player available thing excluding QB's. Can't see them going QB, but literally any other position is a need for the Chiefs.
