Re: The Rams Are On The Clock !!!!!!
Per Clayton's blog on espn.com
Rams in a jam: The Rams are in an interesting spot. They know the Saints want to trade up to get defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey at the No. 2 spot, but that would force the Rams to drop back to the 10th pick. Even if a first-round pick from 2009 was thrown in, going all the way to No. 10 might be too far of a drop. That's why if the Rams are going to make a trade, they would have to look to deal with someone in the top five. Most scouts consider this a six- or seven-player draft at the top. Most teams also have the same six or seven players at the top, which is why dropping to No. 10 may save money. But it also could result in drafting a player who may not have the same impact. Regardless of the debate, the Rams haven't decided which direction they are going.
The draft choice of a second this year and a first next year were just my own additions. He had another snip saying the Saints were contacting the Rams but hadn't heard anything from the Rams. Could the Rams have been waiting on Jake Long to sign with the Dolphins? Effectively him signing with the phins means the Rams have the #1 pick for anyone who has a guy they absolutely must have. It opens it up negotiations for anyone not wanting Jake Long.
