Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is the consensus number one draft pick, but another tackle Gerald McCoy could steal his thunder and be number one. The St Louis Rams hold the number one pick and will get their pick of the two.

Suh is a more complete player. He can stop the pass. He can stop the run. He collapses pockets and beats double teams.

But McCoy can completely disrupt an opponent’s backfield and it makes sense for teams that run the right system to pick him ahead of Suh.

The St Louis Rams have the number one pick this year and a pass rusher like McCoy would suddenly make the Rams solid secondary look a whole lot better.

With a little more pressure on opposing quarterbacks, you’ll start to see some more interceptions from a Rams secondary that isn’t athletic enough to create those opportunities on its own.

Another concern about Suh is his injury history. He’s already had a couple of knee surgeries. Life in the trenches is only going to put more stress on those knees. Suh will definitely give whoever picks him a few good years, but McCoy is going to be productive for much longer.

As much as I like Suh and think he’s a more versatile player, McCoy fills a need for the Rams better than Suh.

Whoever they pick, the St Louis Rams are going to need more help. No team has longer odds to win the Super Bowl than St Louis who are at +20000.
