I've mentioned this before and many others here are split on the biggest priority going into the 2015 draft and free angency so here goes.
For the most part the consensus is that Bradford will be back. So what does everyone want in the first round of the draft and what is the smartest move. Is the best move to move up and lose something else for a (unlikely) Mariotta, Winston or Hundley to compete or backup Bradford? Keep in mind that means finding at leat TWO starting interior OL next year.
Or is the smart move to solidify a very poor interior line and draft a top OL and look for a quality FA because both Wells and Joseph have to go and that still leaves questions about a quality backup for the line (I am not considering a second round OL as a choice because he will not be able to compete in the starting lineup inside this division especially his first year). And if the Rams prioritize the line does that mean they put all their eggs in one basket with Bradford and resign Hill or maybe look elsewhere for a backup or maybe a second or third round QB if there's one even out there.
IMO you go heavy on the line and pray they keep Bradford upright and hopefully a strong Oline allows for a true ground and pound team with Bradford able to pick his shots downfield. Its a tough choice any way you look at it. OR.... how about both QB and OL in the 1st round?
So gentlemen what do you do? And keep in mind what happened last game between the poor play of both Hill and the interior line because it showed the glaring weakness of both positions.
