Rams Are Open to Trading Number Two Overall Pick in 2012 Draft
The St. Louis Rams currently hold the second overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Considering the fact that they already have a franchise passer in Sam Bradford, it’s pretty clear they won’t be spending that pick on Baylor’s Robert Griffin III.
The Rams could stand pat and grab the guy they want. Or they could trade down for extra compensation, and still get the prospect they covet. According to the St. Louis-Dispatch, it’s not just a possibility anymore, but Jeff Fisher and the Rams are openly admitting they’re considering all of their options involving the selection.
“There are going to be teams that have some interest in that pick,” Fisher said. “What we do will define the future of this franchise moving forward.”
We’ve been guessing for months that the Cleveland Browns, who own the number four and 22nd overall picks in the first round, appear on paper to be the perfect trade partners. Cleveland is also expected to be in the market for a quarterback, and if they deem Griffin III to be worth the price-tag of two first-rounders, they could pull the trigger.
Other teams surely to be at least in rumors to be interested going forward are the Miami Dolphins, Washington Redskins, and the Seattle Seahawks.
If and when the Rams do trade down, the hot names they’ll be targeting continue to be wide receiver Justin Blackmon or offensive tackle prospects, Riley Reiff and Matt Kalil.
If rams fans are looking forward to those two first rounders youre gonna b disappointed. Browns have to rebuild, qb is not their #1 need. The redskins on the other hand have a solif defense thats only gonna get better and returning star TE’S as well as a wr that was on the verge of a breakout but had an acl injury. They are looking at playoff contention with rg3 who perfectly fits the scheme, fixes severl problems, and will match the atmosphere and evironment from the washington area and fan base. But dont worry considering the owner is dan snyder youll get alot of draft picks. Most likely this and next years 1-3 round picks.
Seahawks need to grab this pick!!!!!! RGIII !
I can see that, but how do they get it? what are they trading?
