2010 NFL Draft: Teams calling the Rams about their second round pick

by Ryan Van Bibber on Apr 23, 2010 12:03 PM CDT in 2010 NFL Draft

The first round of the 2010 NFL Draft was filled with surprises. Tim Tebow to the Broncos, Tyson Alualu to the Jaguars, take your pick for the biggest twist. Those surprise picks have put the St. Louis Rams in an even better position with their first pick in the second round than many could have imagined with plenty of coveted first round talents still available. It's barely past Noon on the East Coast and already the Rams have been contacted about trading their 33rd overall pick.

The list of suitors so far includes the Bills and the Browns, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Yesterday, the Browns made one last attempt to see if the Rams would trade the first overall pick in order for Cleveland to draft QB Sam Bradford. Today, they have their eyes on the Rams 33rd pick because of interest in Texas QB Colt McCoy and Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen.

I'm all for trading the pick if the offer is right. It will be interesting to see what kind of bounties team are willing to give the Rams for that pick. Could the Rams even unload a player like Alex Barron in a trade for that pick?

These probably won't be the only teams contacting the Rams about the 33rd pick. Stay tuned.

Many pick the Vikes to go Clausen

with the 34th. This is the best thing that could’ve happened to us. Cleveland and the chiefs will both drive the price up. We may wind up with several picks for this one. I’m still hurting from passing on Suh, (no knock on Bradford as he’s now my QB), but a slurpy of picks would be a nice pain killer.

Sounds like a good set up

But the trade we receive had better be heavily weighted in our favour.

If we go from originally picking at #1 and #33 overall (and with 4 in the top 100) to not having at least new 2 starters (Bradford sits so doesn’t count IMO) in week 1, I’ll be gutted.

The players available, such as Price, Kindle and Griffen, look like starters to me, so more than appropriate compensation is required in my eyes.

I wonder if the Vikes would take Mcoy if Clausen is gone?

I would love to see 4 picks today :-)

Trade out please. Unfortunately, I do not think we can use Barron for trades until he signs.
With 4 picks today, we have a higher probability of getting 4 starters in postitions of need.
Also, knowing the Rams have more picks other than 1st and middle today, it would be more exciting trying to figure out the 4 players the Rams would target ;-)

I still think were going to get a nice player with our 3rd rounder as well.

I just hope its defense defense, maybe a TE somewhere in rd. 3 or 4.

I know this is just speculation

but what about this trade proposal:

Bills get – our 2 and our 6

Rams get – Bills 2, 5 and Marshawn Lynch

They originally said they wanted a 2nd for Lynch. Teams are not going to value him that high. I think they could get a 4 or 5 for him straight up. With Spiller and Fred Jackson, they might prefer to use him in a trade to move up to get their QB of the future.

Of course, again, this is speculation, and I have no idea how the Rams or other teams value Lynch. It would give us a solid, two headed rushing attack. Maybe the best 1-2 punch in the game. Great insurance if Steven misses a couple games, like he has in most seasons.

I thought Lynch wanted to be a starter?

I don’t like his attitude much and don’t think he’d fit in.

How about we swap 2nd, we get their 3rd & we give them Barron?

why would we want lynch

jackson runs the same style… he’d be waste

I would like

Benn or Tate for offensive threats but if we go defense I hope dexter mccluster will be there at the top of the 3rd

In an interview with scott van pelt

I heard devanney say that he would be surprised if we didnt trade that pcik based on the amount of activity he has received. We are gonna be able to sell this pcik to the highest bidder. This is great news. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft10/news/story?id=5129354
