2012 NFL Draft-QB Prospects (Chapter 5)

freddyg12

I get your overall logic of moving up to 3, but some of your points don't make sense to me. The Rams are in the power position simply because they pick ahead of us (& Browns). They will use that leverage to the very end I would imagine regardless of whether we trade up to 3 or not. If we're at 3 & they are still getting good offers for that pick, they'll trade it if it works for them.

If anything, us trading to 3 merely ups the price for Cleveland or others & makes the pick more valuable. The Rams are in a good position, they can get the player they want or land a lot of high round picks. That doesn't change that much if we trade up to 3 IMO.

Don't think they would turn that down. They are going to publically play the draft game though.

Someone mentioned trading up to 3 before the draft. Another team could leapfrog us on draft day to #2 and draft a QB, leaving us w/ no Luck or Griffin and the #3 pick.

Last I heard, the Rams want at least this year's 1st and 2nd plus next year's 1st and possibly 3rd

My source told me they are prepared to give up whatever is necessary to get RG3, and are prepared to give up two firsts and (don't quote me on this part) a third (or he said second and third; I don't remember).

He also said Shanahan is looking at it like this, whats the point of saving all these future picks, if his future here is donzo for next year, should he fail with a less quality player (Tannehill for example), than with a high energy-high quality player like RG3 who could bring your team to a winning record. Shanny also knows that snyder likes the big name. If us fans are going ''ahh tannehill'' snyder will here and agree and put Shanahan on a tighter lesh. If its RG3 the fans will like it based on potential, and snyder will like it because its a big name that will put fans in the seats, and it will certainly buy shanahan longer time here in DC. The High quality/potential guy will buy him time, the low quality guy won't.


As for other tid-bits he told me.

I asked him about Matt Flynn, he said he hasn't heard much about him.

Asked about Andrew Luck, he said we all like him, but we all know he's Indy bound.

I asked if we can trade or cut Dhall, he gave me a tight-lipped politically correct answer.

2012 Senior Bowl: Ranking Every Prospect Who Will Be Attending | Bleacher Report

Some great prospects will be at the game. Brian Quick WR App St.

Bobby Wagner ILB Utah (Compared to London Fletcher)

The Iowa State CB, said to be a great overall corner.

All the Big Ten and SEC Lineman are also intriguing to me at Guard, Tackle, and Center (also the FSU guy and the UAB guy has a lot of potential it sounds like)

This year's 1st and 2nd and next year's 1st and 3rd? I'd be OK with that as long as they can land a true #1 in free agency and some O-line help. The RBs and TEs are plenty talented.... at least enough to make the Offense productive with good QB play.

They'd still have 6 picks this year and I believe 7 next year. They've shown they can find some solid players in the mid to late rounds. They could still bring Rex back and draft another QB late or bring in an undrafted guy.

But couldn't Cleveland trump our offer with 2 first round picks THIS year? We'd need them to make a run at Flynn.

With the price that high I actually see both us and Cleveland as less of a threat to trade up for RG3 and see Miami and Seattle suddenly as major players. Anyway at Smoots reported Rams price I'd rather sign Flynn. My price was a 1st and 2nd this year and a conditional 3rd that could turn into a 2nd next year.

I can understand where Shanny is comming from, if he doesn't make the right move for the right guy it will be his last year in Washington the stakes are very high.
