The Rams 2nd overall pick is worth 2600 points
The Falcons 3rd overall pick is worth 2200 points
The Falcons 2nd round picks are all in the 400s

The Rams are going to dangle Dorsey as trade bait, if we can get a second rounder or even more, I'll take it.
starfoxx,

i know the draft chart......here's the thing. I know you and most of the other Rams fans want to pull a "draft coup" and of course if you could squeeze the Falcons that would make you happy.

Just be the Falcons GM for a minute........if you are the Falcons GM, you know that the Rams probably don't want to take Dorsey or maybe its 50/50 - you also know your own team - the Falcons - needs to come out of this draft with 6 new starters - are you giving up a potential starter/impact player in round 2 to move up one spot when its 50/50 the player you would move up one spot for will fall to you anyway?

its such common sense that the Falcons won't trade up - don't know why you can't see it - unless its just your bias showing.....try to be as objective as you can..
