... It went so well, in fact, Bradford now is considered the consensus first pick in the draft. Not so fast. While taking Bradford makes sense from the standpoint of getting your franchise quarterback now and getting him into the system, there are holes in that theory in regard to the number one overall pick. The Rams have to be very careful they aren't drawn into the Dog and Pony show that is pre-draft hype. Because if they take Bradford, they might be setting their franchise back another five years. While I'm not advocating the Rams ignore Bradford, it is prudent for the Rams' front office to take a step back and consider all scenarios, including the "worst case" ones.
