I believe it was Greg Cosell who first suggested the Rams are designing their offense to recreate Oklahoma's old speed-spread attack. Jared Cook is Sam Bradford's new Jermaine Gresham. Brian Quick, or Austin Pettis, is Malcolm Kelly. Tavon Austin is Juaquin Iglesias/DeMarco Murray. Chris Givens is Manuel Johnson. The Rams likely hope Bradford's comfort level will improve in the new wide-open system. Bradford to this point in his career has been thoroughly mediocre, but he did set personal bests in touchdown passes (21), yards (3,702), and YPA (6.7) last season. Surrounded by the best supporting cast of his NFL service time, Bradford will be an intriguing QB2. ... While St. Louis' backfield pecking order will not crystallize until practices are live and preseason games kick off, I thought it would be worthwhile to include the Average Draft Positions of Rams running backs in this column. Daryl Richardson is most often the first back chosen, with a mid-seventh-round ADP as the RB33. Zac Stacy (ninth round, RB41) is next. Isaiah Pead (tenth round, RB44) comes in third. Pead has the most talent of the bunch and is easily the best value.

Interesting take. Could be right.
