I also think the Rams will want a deal done pre-draft, if Bradford seriously wants to wait that could help him drop. Not necessarily to us though, because Mike Holmgrem might jump up for Bradford.

What would be crazy is if we end up drafting Bradford, trade or not, and then he holds out for big $ (the qb reasoning you mention). Wouldn't it be something if the skins actually refused to pay a big name player what he & his agent demanded & a long holdout ensued?
I don't see any holdouts being too long this year though. With the uncertainty of a CBA & a potential lockout in 2011, any half smart player & agent will get the biggest chunk of change they can this year, even at the expense of some unfavorable terms later in the deal.
