NFL Combine: Spagnuolo talks McCoy, Bradford

Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo is a defensive guy. Coordinated the Giants’ Super Bowl-champion defense before jumping aboard the St. Louis ship of misery.

But Spagnuolo says that doesn’t mean he’ll campaign for St. Louis to draft a defensive tackle (Ndamokung Suh or Gerald McCoy) over a quarterback (Sam Bradford).

“I know we all get labeled,” Spagnuolo said. “You gotta look at it as what’s best for the team.”

Spagnuolo did offer the following thoughts:

On the differences between OU’s McCoy and Nebraska’s Suh. “I’m always the type of person to say you haven’t watched enough tape. But it’s two great football players that are going to be great in this league. Dominant defensive tackles, somebody who’s going to change the game. Give offensive coordinators around the league headaches.”

On whether the beleaguered Rams, 1-15 last year and undergoing an ownership change, will feel pressure to take a quarterback: “I don’t know that we’ll get wrapped up in that. Any picks takes a risk.”
