Random Ramsdom: 3/15/2010

by Eric Nagel on Mar 15, 2010 1:50 AM CDT in St. Louis Rams news

The Rams were not involved in a big trade the other day. I can't believe they'd pass up the opportunity to snag Brady Quinn. I mean, he has a 52.1% career passing percentage, 10 touchdowns to 9 interceptions, shares a name with Tom Brady and has those amazing EAS commercials. It's a sad day for Rams fans indeed. These might cheer you up though:

The Rams came to terms with Hank Fraley. He seems like he'll be able to provide good depth at the offensive line. One thing that might (or might not) be obvious is that the Rams are picking up free agents for depth. Might not be flashy, but when the injury bug bites (is it wishful thinking to replace 'when' with 'if'?) it'll help out in the long run.
One trade I wouldn't have minded happening for the Rams however, is that of Shaun Hill being traded to the Lions. I know the 49ers are division rivals, so it's probably far-fetched, but for only a 2011 7th rounder? That's a pretty sweet deal for a somewhat-young QB with starting experience.
Mike Sando talks in his mailbag about a Glenn Dorsey, Adam Carriker trade. Can't say I disagree. It won't happen (I'm crossing my fingers anyway), but it's something for you to dream about at work.
This came out a couple of days ago, but a study found that Field Turf is more likely to increase injuries. Good thing the Rams now have the roll-up Magic Carpet II system!

Enjoy your Monday!

Hill for a 7th does seem like a bargain

but then again, this hints at the Ram’s being interested in Bradford (or pretending to be interested in Bradford so Tampa Bay tries to move up past Detroit to secure Suh?)

So Feely would be the starter until Bradford takes over. Feely becomes the reliable veteran back up QB. and Null stays as the developmental 3rd QB?

They must really like Null.

They probably have their eye on a few NFL

QB’s and are not interested in anyone else; if we don’t sign them I bet we’re moving on w/their plans. IMO, we’re drafting a QB #1 and trading our #2 for extra picks. We’re not going to get top rated DL prospects, but Spags will find talent to play for us. Very intrigued and less worried…

I was amazed at the trade proposed with the Chiefs.

Carriker for Dorsey makes sense, but not if we have to throw in our 2nd round pick at #33. I could see a late round pick, but not our second rounder.

I've been pushing the Carriker for Dorsey trade...

since last year, but theres no way he’s worth Carriker and the 33rd overall pick (which is essentially a glorified first-round pick). Carrkier and a seventh rounder for Dorsey would be more appropriate since neither player has shown much since being drafted. Both teams have something to gain by swapping these players yet neither has talked to the other despite being in the same state. Makes me sick…

Exactly!

AND 33rd pick?! My ass! Carriker and MAYBE our top 7th rounder. It ain’t like Dorsey has done a damn thing. Gamble for both teams.

Hilarity

Carriker & 33 for Dorsey? We could draft a better D-Lineman than both of them at 33. I like reading Sando because he writes often (and I have little else to do), but his Rams insight is beyond questionable. He also suggested that a trade of OJ for Vick would make a lot of sense and I went crazy on him.

You got recced son!

Utter stupidity. Carriker and a 7th for Dorsey, then maybe. I still like Carriker for the DE from Washington (Carter?). That would be a good trade especially if Little and/or Hall goes.
