Suh to the Eagles?
The St. Louis Rams hold the key to the 2010 NFL draft. With the #1 pick, the Rams have the biggest bargaining chip available. St. Louis needs a quarterback, but drafting a QB with the #1 overall pick is a hit or miss proposition. JaMarcus Russell, Alex Smith, David Carr, and Tim Couch are recent #1 overall QB picks who have yet to pan out. Mixed in with those less-than-stellar careers are players like Carson Palmer, Eli Manning, and Michael Vick, all of whom were taken #1 in their respective drafts. Luckily for the Rams, the Philadelphia Eagles have three very capable quarterbacks who, for the right price, they'd be willing to trade to get into the #1 spot. Why the Eagles? They need an interior defensive lineman. Enter Ndamukong Suh, the most dominant player at his position to come through the college ranks in some time. The former Husker, fresh off a Heisman-like season, is a clear #1 overall draft pick for the right team. But the best player in a draft doesn't always go first. Teams choose players based on need and St. Louis needs a quarterback. The Eagles are stocked at that position, but are in need of an interior defensive lineman. Thus, a potential marriage made in heaven and a way for Ndamukong Suh to end up on a much better team than typical #1 drafts picks go to.
The first round of the 2010 NFL Draft begins at 6:30pm CST on Thursday, April 22nd. ESPN and the NFL Network will televise the event.
