Steelers to present Trade Package to Rams?

[sntlouisrams]

Below is a quote from Jason La Canfora..

"In particular, the Steelers are enamored with likely No. 1 overall draft pick Sam Bradford. They essentially view Bradford as a sure-thing franchise quarterback and have considered what it would take to move up to the No. 1 pick in a trade with the St. Louis Rams, according to a source. However, the Steelers know executing such a move would be highly difficult, and they figure the Rams have limited interest in Roethlisberger."

Although the Rams will not take Big Ben if the steelers are too offload him to another team what kind of package would they be getting? Also what kind of package would we require to do buisness with the steelers. (note this could be a blockbuster trade with them having to give multiple picks in good rounds for multiple years) any suggestions?

2010 picks: 1st 2nd 2011 picks: 2nd 4th
players: Dennis Dixon and Mewelde Moore

I would accept nothing less then that from the steelers for our 1st round pick.

[sntlouisrams]

They would be getting a trade for big ben so where was that in your package

[Bralidore(RAMMODE)]

Way too low. I'd need half of their draft and Ben. Their first rounder is too low for me to take anything less.

Big Ben,
1st & 3rd 2010
1st and 2nd 2011

[sntlouisrams]

Well here is what I would suggest far fetched maybe (presuming steeleres get an extra 1st this year from trading big ben)

2010 1st, 1st, 2nd, 3rd
2011 1st 2nd

I would need multiple first round picks ala the Jay Cutler deal. But even with their first this year and next year, still not sure I would do it... Maybe for both firsts and both seconds in the next two years. You can't expect those draft picks to be very high picks. Jumping up 18 spots is going to cost ya.

[HUbison]

Never gonna happen. I don't see anyway to work up an equitable trade.

Where in that quote does it say the Steelers are actually going to make an offer for the Rams' pick?

[TekeRam]

It's just too far fetched to happen. As annoyed as the Steelers might be with Big Ben, there's no way that they would spend the draft capital to move up that far for one player. They're a team that builds through the draft, so they need as many picks as possible, and especially high picks after giving up Holmes for so cheap. In my opinion this is a complete rumor and not even a good one.

I thought I was the only one that noticed a lack of that statement. Perhaps the title of the thread should be changed to reflect that this is merely speculation at this point.

[turbofargo]

Can't help but feel this is being drummed up by the Rams themselves to get interest for the top pick. Seems like this happens every year. The reports of a trade from "sources". Spags is constantly preaching character, so no way is ben coming, and to trade down that far, don't care how deep the draft is all the elite players gone?? Doesn't make sense. The steelers are good enough that even if we did get their No. 1 for next yr it still would be a mid to late round choice.

Its not been said, I am just speculating

[general counsel]

If we dont get jack lambert and mel blount in that deal, i dont see how it works for us.

This is speculation in its purest form. Nothing wrong with having fun with a thread like this, but its not going to happen.

ramming speed to all
