If ________ falls past pick #20, Devaney should start working the phones to trade up.

[AvengerRam]

Which player do you see as a guy who could drop to the final 10 picks of the first round that would tempt the Rams to trade up?

[Bar-bq]

A lot of it depends on who we pick at #2. If we go along the OL, you have to look at Heyward-Bey and to a lesser degree, IMO, Maualuga. I can't say I'd be 100% surprised if Maualuga were to fall fall out of the top 32, anyway. If we go with Curry at #2, an OT becomes important. I don't think I'd like to take the risk on Oher, but Eben Britton might be a safer, less spectacular pick. However, getting an OT at #20 in the first place is going to be very difficult if Detroit takes Stafford first overall. They have virtually nobody to protect him and I can't see them passing on Smith/Oher/Britton unless they want Maualuga or Laurinitis to lead their equally unpopulated defense at that pick.

The other thing to consider with Detroit is that they have a lot of ammo with three picks in the top 33. A trade up into the top fifteen (to get someone like Brian Cushing/Aaron Maybin), though unlikely, remains a distant possibility.

[Ramblin` Ram]

i went Heyward-bey...the others can fall some more.

[Shan the Ram Man]

I liked & voted Maualuga MLB. Brian Cushing would also be a great choice.
I don't want Rams to give up the picks to move up. Just take K. Britt , B. Robiski or the fan favorite in R. Brace in 2nd .

[39thebeast]

Sleeper is definately Sanchez, because Spags may want to bring in his own guy, because he really isn't married to Bulger. I want the Rams to Draft Monroe so I gave the slight edge to Mauluga over DHB. Mauluga gives the Rams a defensive enforcer in the middle that we desperately need. Our defense has been considered soft for a long time putting a big mean guy like Mags in the middle will change that. IMO DHB is fast, but he is to raw

[Rambunctious]

Trading up may actually be best for us in the long run but it would take more patience by the fans. I say this because doing so would have to cost us our 2nd, 3rd and probably 5th round picks. We would be trading...

1 elite, 2 quality and 1 project for 2 elites.

If this is the case, knowing the rebuilding will take two more drafts, I would trade up for Oher even if we take Smith/Monroe with the number 2. Sounds crazy but with Brown, Bell and Greco I think we could set our o-line for the next several years.

Get a NT in next years great crowd and either a wr or lb and handle the rest in free agency.

[bruce4life]

Has to be Percy Harvin. You cannot let playmakes drop that low.

[SJacks039]

Maclin could drop passed 20 and i would think most of us here at clanram would like to see us trade up to get him if he drops that far, assuming we get a Tackle first. If we go curry obviosuly we could trade up for one of the lineman (britton,beatty)if we have to.

[jackson3909]

if we got OT with pick #2, then we should get Maualuga.


If we get curry with pick #2 then we should get micheal Oher

[tonyray05]

I agree w/Jackson that would definitely fill two needs with quality picks IMO.

[serkicker32]

Assuming I am the GM and we take a tackle at 2 I would have to trade up for Ray Maualuga, and would seriously consider Mark Sanchez and Percy Harvin.

[BarronWade]

The pick is Rey Mauluaga by deafault

We wont waste a 1st round pick for Beanie Wells

Harvin is already not going in the top 20 and i dont think we are intrested in him

Most likely we are taking Monroe or Smith so we wont be in the market for Oher

There is value later for a QB so no marc sanchez

So it was down to Heyward-bey and Mauluaga and i dont the Rams will trade up for a WR but they will for a MLB so Mauluga is the choice.

[general counsel]

I like bey and manuguala and oher if we take curry, but most realistically, i like the idea of trading up a few spots to get laurienitis.

ramming speed to all

[#39 Fan]

if we got OT with pick #2, then we should get Maualuga.


If we get curry with pick #2 then we should get micheal Oher

This for me as well. (Like Britton as much as Oher here)


Assuming OT, I'll cast my vote for Mauluga
Harvin is intriguing
