NFL mock drafts across the Internet are constantly shifting back and forth between who is going where and when he'll be drafted, but it seems as though there is now a new consensus number one pick. It is no longer the heavily prized defensive tackle out of Nebraska, Ndamukong Suh, but the Heisman trophy winning quarterback out of Oklahoma, Sam Bradford.
Now first one must look at why the St. Louis Rams would pass on Suh. The guy is an absolute beast and has been compared to Reggie White. He has the least bust potential of any player in this draft. So why not take the safe pick? Well, that's what the Rams have done the past few years and it has not worked out. Drafting players on the defensive line like Chris Long has not worked for the Rams, and they have passed on some solid quarterbacks such as Matt Ryan and Mark Sanchez. They cannot afford to pass on a great quarterback, especially given their need at the position.
Just recently, Sam Bradford solidified his status as the number one overall pick in the 2010 NFL draft. Bradford has an amazing Pro Day. He completed 62 of 63 passes, with the only incompletion being a dropped pass. He showed no ill effects of his shoulder surgery that kept him out of most of his final season at Oklahoma. Bradford is proving to everyone out there that he is the real deal. Barring any contract negotiation problems, it is practically written in stone that he will go number one in this year's NFL draft.
