St. Louis Rams team needs

Having the #1 overall pick can sometimes be more of a curse than a blessing. The St. Louis Rams face a tough choice with that pick. Do they select a sure fire prospect like Ndamukon Suh or focus on need and select one of the top rated quarterbacks? We often hear about different draft strategies like "drafting for need" and "drafting the best available", what will the Rams do?

1. Quarterback

- Marc Bulger is no longer a NFL starting caliber quarterback and Keith Null never was. It has been proven time and time again that you need a good quarterback to be successful in the NFL. The Rams have a dilemma, is either Sam Bradford or Jimmy Clausen worthy of the #1 overall pick?

2. Cornerback

- There are issues at every level of this defense but the cornerback position has to be the weakest, or the least addressed. Adding a top flight cornerback can help stimulate the pass rush and maybe allow some safety help for the weaker cornerback.

3. Wide Receiver

- Donnie Avery and Brandon Gibson show some promise but if you’re thinking about adding a new quarterback you have to give him so weapons to play with. I am sure Steven Jackson wouldn’t mind having someone that can pull a safety out of the box, providing more running room.
