The St. Louis Rams are on the clock after posting a league-worst 1-15 mark in 2009. With a dreadful 6-42 record over the last three years, St. Louis has been historically bad. With the exception of standout running back Seven Jackson, the club needs help in almost every other area. In addition to its seven regular selections, the Rams will have the 24th pick in the fifth round (from Philadelphia) and the 19th selection in the seventh round (from Atlanta).

St. Louis Rams 2010 NFL Draft Potential Quarterback Selections

The Rams haven’t used a first-round choice on an offensive skilled player since Jackson was chosen in 2004. While Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is generally viewed as the top overall prospect in the draft, St. Louis is also taking a close look at Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford. While he is coming off of shoulder surgery, the club is eager to get a franchise quarterback to build around in a mediocre NFC West division.

Rams incumbent starting quarterback Marc Bulger will be 33 when the 2010 season begins. His play has regressed in recent years for a team that has struggled badly. He doesn’t appear to be in the club’s long-term plans but Bulger has enough of a track record to still be a viable option for 2010. There is also speculation that the Rams might have some interest in adding Michael Vick to the quarterback mix. If the club does decide to take Bradford, St. Louis may try to work a trade for a team that is eager to get Suh.

St. Louis Rams 2010 NFL Draft Offensive line & Wide Receiver Needs

After the first round, the Rams will look to the middle rounds of the draft to improve the offense. Despite adding tackle Jason Smith with the second overall pick in last year’s draft, the St. Louis offensive line had trouble protecting Bulger in 2009. The Rams will need to continue to build its offensive line in the years to come. The club is still trying to replace receiving standouts Torry Holt and Issac Bruce. Donnie Avery led the squad in receptions last year with a modest total of just 47 catches.

The Rams could be in a position to land a solid receiver in the second round. While Oklahoma State wideout Dez Bryant is the top receiving prospect, he is not a lock to be a first round choice. With the 33rd overall pick to open the second round, the Rams may have a chance to select Brandon LaFell of LSU or Golden Tate of Notre Dame. If those two are gone, there are several other capable receiving prospects that could be tabbed in the second round or later.

St. Louis Rams 2010 NFL Draft Defense Pick Needs

After ranking 29th in the NFL in total defense in 2009, the Rams need plenty of help on this side of the ball. Even if Suh lands with the Rams, St. Louis will look for more help in the later rounds. DL Chris Long and LB James Laurinaitis have been added in the early rounds over the last two years. The secondary could be addressed this time around. The Rams (eight interceptions in 2009) need some impact players in this area.
