Same with the Jaguars after Mularkey gets a look at a full season's worth of tape on Blaine Gabbert?

Why not the Broncos if Elway decides that Tebow is not the long term answer?

The Chiefs?

And as real long-shots why not the Cowboys or the Jets once they realize the cold light of day that their starting QBs are probably at or near their peak peformance levels right about now?

I suspect the Rams will have more than one team interested in the price of that #2 pick even if the Redskins choose not to play the game. Now the Rams may hold out for such an exorbitant price that they cannot move the pick, but that is different from not getting any offers.

You could be right here, but if the Rams trade with any of those teams they are effectively removing themselves from the part of the draft where they can land an impact player at a need position. Having the Redskins pick keeps them positioned to do such a thing.

I think they have a considerable amount more leverage if they are willing to select Robert Griffin with the second overall pick, but if they don't have him graded as a top two player in the draft, I don't see how they can expect someone to pony up the market rate for their pick. They'll probably get stuck with it. The Browns aren't paying two first rounders to move up two spots, that's just not what the Browns will do.

Their only shot, it seems, would be to trade with the Redskins or Dolphins.
