your draft pick

[Schmoopy1000]

from the redskins just got a little bit better

 

[Red_Chaos]

the rams nation greatly appreciate your guys winning today

 

[Retroram52]

I second that.

 

[bluepigpen]

Thank you Tony Romo on 4th and goal to Murray TD, Redskins lose again. That's nice.

Did Romo use his brain and win a game late? Didn't see it. Watched part of Rams game.

 

[Red_Chaos]

i guess the question is...is there anyway we can trade the pick and still get matthews?

 

[SJ76]

No but we could get the LT from Bama or Florida St....

 

[Schmoopy1000]

if you guys get the #2 pick in the draft. What do you think your chances of trading back with it is?
What scenario do you think that pick will produce?

The 5 consensus elite guys are Clowney, Bridgewater, Matthews, Barr and Watkins. I think Clowney and Bridgewater have enough status that people will want to trade up for them so I could see the Rams #1 priority being a trade down.

 

[SJ76]

Unless Marriota comes out.

There is still a small possibility that Bridgewater falls to #2 as well. Clowney is a better prospect than Suh at a more valuable position. Bridgewater could get picked apart because of his lack of competition. There is an outside shot that it could happen

Absolutely could happen.

I agree they will try to trade down and it would seem they are in a great spot if they stay at 2. I don't see an RG3 type r*pe but still should be really nice.

I think its very possible. 1. houston- Bridgewater 2. Atlanta Clowney 3. Oakland QB OR Barr 4. Jacksonville QB 5. Rams Matthews

 

[Retroram52]

Well all this talk of taking a QB is going to be negated by Fisher himself who has reiterated again right before today's game that the Rams are not going after a QB in the first if indeed we end up with the 2nd overall pick. Now whether that is haberdash talk to deflect attention away from the Rams true intentions remains to be seen. But Billick today stated as much that the Rams are going with Sammie into the foreseeable future. I surmise that means we will either be trading down or we will select Matthews with the 2 pick.

 

[Retroram52]

Cougar, Houston may take Wadkins or Matthews with the first overall pick. They have been dispelling rumors they are interested in a QB with overall number one pick.

Houston has to say that with no andrew luck type sure franchise QB's in this draft. They would probably love to trade back and get picks but i don't see a team going up to #1. they will be forced to gamble on one of these QB's or take Clowney to pair up with JJ. I don't see a WR going #1?? especially one thats 6' tall. I can't see Matthews #1 on their board ahead of Clowney or Barr.

retro.... that my friend is what is called a SMOKESCREEN. They are gonna take Bridgewater, have Keenum as the backup and trade Schaub to somewhere like Cleveland or Jacksonville for him to get a fresh start.

As for the Rams drafting a QB, I do not want them drafting a QB until day 3. I am a fan of David Fales from San Jose St, Stephen Morris from Miami and AJ McCarron from Bama. I think one of those 3 will be on the Rams roster come week 1 next year.

Yeah, we are going to be seeing those for awhile. We will know nothing about the top picks until the top QBs show off at the combine.

Jake Long going down is kind of a big deal. The turnaround for the Rams has been mostly due to the oline and dline playing at a high level. Everyone is going to be mocking Matthews to the Rams even on a Jeff Fisher team.

 

[ksudodger]

Long going down proved one thing... we need to bring back Saffold. He has shown he can start at RG effectively and brings depth at OT as well. Saffold and Smith both played their butts off today. Can't believe I am saying that about Saffold, but truth is truth
