When all is said and done, what do you "hope" happens this weekend?

if i had my way, campbell and haynesworth would have been a part of the trade with the redskins. the skins really wanted carriker and clearly do NOT want campbell nor haynesworth. it obviously would have taken carriker plus a pick or two, but i think it could have been done. maybe carriker and the first pick of the 3rd rd? i think they would have been in a great position if they could have traded carriker for campbell straight up. that didn’t happen, so anyhow…
i am still holding out hope that the rams make a trade for campbell, with the reported price tag being a 4th or 5th. in addition, it seems that spags is interested in osi umenyiora, who would also command a 4th or so. if the rams used their 1st pick to draft suh, then their second pick to take arrelious benn, and their third to take the best TE available, with osi and campbell added using 4th/5th rd picks, i think the rams would have had a VERY successful draft.
can you imagine, though, if the rams could have ended up after the draft with suh, haynesworth and osi to add to chris long? now that would have been something special!

assuming no trades for veterans…
take bradford with the 1st pick. when cleveland is getting close to being on the clock, have them draft either clausen or—in my ideal world—eric berry with their pick and trade bradford for their player plus a 2nd and 4th. if the rams got berry from cleveland, then take colt mccoy with 2nd rd pick; if clausen, hopefully demaryius thomas is still on the board. with clevelands 2nd rd pick daryl washington-OLB- would be a great complement to laurinaitis. with the rams 3rd rd pick hopefully aaron hernandez is on the board to be an impact/explosive TE. with the rams 4th rd pick, javier arenas and with the browns 4th rd pick select myron rolle—this might be a reach, but i think that you can’t go wrong with a player/person like myron rolle on the team. 5th rd picks: joe mcknight, clifton geathers, geno atkins. 6th/7th rd: best player available.

This is pure fantasy and never going to happen, but your question allowed my mind to wander…

I’d firstly trade with Clevedon, for a 1st, 2nd and two 3rds (picks 7, 38, 71 & 92).

Then trade the #7 pick for Denver’s 2 second rounders and third (picks 43, 45 & 80).

I’d trade our second 5th round pick to trade with the Skins for Jason Campbell and pick 163 (they owe us something already out of the Carriker trade).

Then package pick #92 from Cleveland with our two 5ths, 6th and two 7th round picks to trade up for the Colts 2rd rounder (pick #63).

We then have picks 33, 38, 43, 45, 63, 65, 71, 80 and 92 in rounds 2 and 3 and the first pick in the 4th round (pick 99), plus a QB capable of starting this year.

We’d be down on the value using traditional draft pick values, but with picks between #33 and #99, we should be able to address OT, OG, TE, RB, OLB x2, DT, DE, CB & S. Some (4 or 5 at least) of these could surely start and upgrade our current starters. We then get a QB in 2011, even if we have to mortgage the farm for our top choice, and we have saved a putt load of salary to dip into FA after the draft.

This would never happen, but it was a chance to dream for a bit…

A more realistic hope would be a round one trade with Cleveland and take Morgan, Spiller or Clausen at #7. Then accept a monster trade for the #33 (I’d look for a 1st next year and pick(s) this year to help address franchise QB and #1 WR in the 2011 draft).

1st round – Sam Bradford

2nd round – trade back with Cleveland or Buffalo who will make a move for either Colt McCoy or Tim Teboy for their 2nd round pick plus a 3rd rounder. Take the best WR available at that spt – Arrellious Benn, Demarius Thomas or Damian Williams.

3rd round – Now we have 2 picks. First pick take Navarro Bowman OLB from Penn St. (first round talent with pretty minor character flaw). Trade second pick along with late rounder to Washington for Albert Haynesworth.

4th round – Best TE available

5th round – First pick, trade to NY Giants for Osi Umenyiora. Second pick, a change of pace back for SJax – possibly Montario Hardesty (if he falls) or Lonyae Miller from Fresno St.

6th and 7th round – may have traded some picks for Haynesworth but just pick up best available in defensive secondary and o-line.

Colts took Manning with #1 pick and were still bad the next year. Now Colts are one of top NFL teams. It was those picks in later rd’s that made them great.
Here’s to good choices in rd’s 2 on.

BPA in order of need – OLB/DE/TE/S/WR
1st – Suh
2nd – McCoy (may need to trade back into the 1st before Minnesota selects)
3rd – RB from Stanford (kid’s a beast)
4th – Trade for Osi (Giants will give him up for no less than a 4th)
5th – BPA
2nd 5th – BPA
6th – BPA
2nd 6th – BPA
7th – Traded to Wash with Null for Campbell
2nd 7th – BPA
3rd 7th – BPA
