NFLN says Rams getting calls for thier second.

[CrazyHorse]

Does that mean we are getting calls? If so, I hope the Rams aren't willing to come off thier pick. NFLN says the rams didn't say whether they were willing to trade, only that they were getting calls. Also didn't say which teams they were.

[eazyb81]

I'm sure everyone is getting calls right now.

I think there is a good chance the rams get the sweet deal and not the chiefs

Why? Why in the hell would someone trade up to #2 when they could trade up to #3 and accomplish the same thing.

1. They actually want to move in front of KC to get Jackson

seriously doubt it.

2. They think they can get such a better trade deal from St. louis that it would make up for the higher contract they would have to pay at #2.

St. Louis would seriously have to be giving a great deal for that.

3. People actually think that KC might take Sanchez or already has a deal with another team to trade up for Sanchez.

This is the most likely.

Anyone can get calls. Dosen't mean they are serious it could just mean they are inquiring what it would take to move up.

I'm hoping though.

Well, it was apparently made public yesterday that St. Louis' asking price was lower than the Chiefs so that sound like a good enough reason to me.

The contract issue is huge, St. Louis would have be giving a serious discount for a team to go to #2 instead of #3. You are taking millions of dollars.

Taking a QB at #2 instead of #3 would mean a ton o' cash

last year's numbers:

1. Jake Long, Miami Dolphins - 5 years, $57.5 million ($30 million guaranteed)
2. Chris Long, St. Louis Rams - 6 years, $56.5 million ($29 million guaranteed)
3. Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons - 6 years, $72 million ($34 million guaranteed)
4. Darren McFadden, Oakland Raiders - 6 years, $60 million ($26 million guaranteed)
5. Glenn Dorsey, Kansas City Chiefs - 5 years, $51 million ($23 million guaranteed)

We are all speculating really

What good will it do them to attain the #3 pick if somebody else grabs the #2 from St. Louis and drafts Sanchez?

It's extremely rare for a team to trade up into the top 5 ever. Now we are supposed to believe that teams are climbing the ladder to get to a player in the top 2? Not likely.

It's much more likely that the Rams will take Sanchez than the Chiefs now...

I fear you're correct.

That would be really stupid. We want to trade and it would cost lots less to trade with us.

But that assumes that St Louie doesn't cockblock us.
