Rams select Bradford with top draft pick

Oklahoma quarterback expected to at least sign a $40 million contract

NEW YORK - Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Sam Bradford looked like he had gambled and lost when he injured his throwing shoulder in the first game of the 2009 season.

Bradford, however, emerged as the big winner of Thursday's NFL Draft when the St Louis Rams named the University of Oklahoma signal caller as top overall pick at a slick ceremony at the Radio City Music Hall on Thursday.
