Reverse the scenario and you are a middling team, possibly worse if you redshirted your rookie QB (a good choice for teams like the rams who have so little talent everywhere). But now you need a DT at 10-15. Much better shot at getting a really really good DT at 10-15. JMHO feel free to disagree, it's just my POV
I agree with that logic except that 'wanting a franchise QB' and 'actually drafting a franchise QB' are seperate issues.

If the Rams draft Bradford and he gets hurt again they are screwed even worse. Passing up on Suh, if he becomes an all-pro, is a fire able offense for a General Manager.
