Chiefs NFLN says Rams getting calls for thier second. - Page 2

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.

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)

Getting our player and a better deal for us is FAR more important than keeping Sanchez away from Denver.

This has to be the first year I'm nervous about the draft. Excited and nervous at the same time. In past years, I knew CP would **** shit up.

We are all speculating really

that's very true but at the same time i really don't think there is one guy we can pick in the first round that is going to automatically make us better then the rest of teams in our division. so why not use a little strategy along with it is all im saying keep Denver from acquiring there new possible franchise QB and getting a good player that we can use at the same time. i think i would rather see us playing against a team with kyle Orton or Chris Sims rather than with Sanchez IMHO.

Agreed, but i would still trade the #3 pick to Denver for their two 1st round picks.

I fear you're correct.

Can someone go burn St. Louis down and salt the earth? They've had it coming for so long.

BigRock · 04-25-2009, 11:11 AM

The Rams are the ones saying they're getting calls. Which is code for "Other teams, please call us!!!"

They could be getting nothing at all.

Talk about smokescreen with Billy from the Rams in his interview

Mr. Krab · 04-25-2009, 11:15 AM

I can't imagine that the Rams want/need to trade down as much as we do. They can draft a LT at #2 and be pretty much fine on value and need. We are pretty much screwed on the other hand if we don't trade down unless we decide to grab Sanchez.

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.

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