Rams will receiver visits of draft quarterbacks

With the first overall draft pick in hand, the St. Louis Rams is getting prepared for the April 22nd draft picking. As a preliminary collection of the possible best rookies’ information, they are going to host two college quarterbacks this week. The two are the No. 1 overall pick Sam Bradford and No. 13 overall pick Colt McCoy.

According to reports from the NFL.com, Bradford from Oklahoma will best the first to make the visit. He is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday and stay until Wednesday, and the next day the Rams are scheduled to receiver visit of Texas’ McCoy, who will stay until Thursday. Each quarterback has his own advantages and disadvantages. Bradford has ideal height and good mobility and won the Heisman Trophy as a redshirt sophomore in 2008, but he is just coming off a shoulder injury on his throwing arm and in need of adding weight to withstand the pounding in professional games. By comparison, McCoy has less strength with his arm. He is accurate in short passing game but needs to improve the accuracy in long passes down the field and toward the sideline. However, McCoy is a natural leader with high character and can control the game with his intelligence.

As the Rams released veteran quarterback Marc Bulger earlier this month, they seem determined to get a best replacement from the draft, and by so far it seems that Bradford is more likely to have the chance of putting on Rams jersey as the No. 1 overall quarterback, but McCoy is also having big chance as he gave pretty good impression to the team during last week’s private workout with the Rams.

Talk show host Limbaugh and NHL owner Checketts plan to buy Rams

Although the St. Louis Rams is off to a 0-4 start in the National Football League season with a league-low 24 points and has lost 14 games in streak over two seasons, the team still has an estimated value of 929 million dollars. Both Conservative political radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh and National Hockey League club owner Dave Checketts are on a bid to buy the American football team.

After former owner Georgia Frontiere, who moved the Rams to her hometown, died last year, her children shared the Rams with billionaire Stan Kroenke, who also owns the NHL Colorado Avalance and NBA Denver Nuggets.

According to NFL rules, owner of other sport teams can own an NFL team in the same market as long as the owner does not own team in other markets, and that is why Kroenke can only held 40 percent of the Rams. Checkets would be able to take a majority stake because his Blues are based in St. Louis and the cross-ownership policy has not applied to soccer teams. What is more, if Checketts is to own the Rams, St. Louis fans who love rams jerseys all the same despite the losses, could stop worrying that the Rams could leave for Los Angeles, which is the Rams’ birthplace and has no NFL team now.

Redskins won over Rams, each having on player injured

Sunday’s game between the Washington Redskins and the St. Louis Rams ended with Redskins’ winning and one player injured in each team.

The Redskins may have to see their right guard Randy Thomas done for the season with a right triceps injury. Thomas was injured in the first half of the Sunday’s game and would be evaluated today. But before that, the team had taken it as they have lost Thomas for the season and had third-year player Will Montgomery taking the place of the 11-year veteran.

And the Rams lost their right tackle Jason Smith in the second quarter for a knee injury. According to Rams Coach Steve Spagnuolo, Smith would undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury, and it was uncertain how long the injury would keep Smith out.
