Colt McCoy a viable alternative for the Rams
The general consensus is that the St Louis Rams will pick Sam Bradford with their number one pick in the draft. All of the denials coming out of St Louis were generally regarded as predictable smoke coming from their management.
Now news comes that the Rams are scheduling a private workout with Colt McCoy after McCoy’s pro-day improving the odds of the Rams picking Ndamukong Suh or Gerald McCoy with the first pick.
Currently you can some pretty good money betting on Suh (+170) if he does end up as the first pick.
Betting on Ndamukong Suh Going First at Draft
Ndamukong Suh is widely considered to be the top player in the draft, but he isn’t getting good odds to be the first selection in the draft.
Currently you get +145 if you bet on Suh to be the number one draft pick, while you get -185 if you bet against Suh being the number one pick.
The reason for this is quarterback Sam Bradford and the St Louis Rams.
The Rams have needed a quarterback prospect for years, but they keep picking the best player they can get at the draft. Finally their lack of a quality quarterback prospect has them desperate to draft one so they can start developing him.
The Case for Gerald McCoy: Number One Ahead of Ndamukong Suh
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.
I totally can&point-spreads.com39;t think of anything clever and sexist to say about this picture involving the word Rams.
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.
