And just like that the interwebs are humming with excitement about potential deals just hours away from the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft. Let's take a look at the most recent talk making the rounds.
First and foremost, will the St. Louis Rams be trading their 33rd pick? It seems likely according to Rams GM Billy Devaney. That earlier report had the Bills and Browns interested in the pick, and now Michael Lombardi is saying they've received several offers.
Despite recent denials, Washington DT Albert Haynesworth is expected to be traded by the end of the day. Jason LaCanfora said that the Titans remain a logical stop, but remember that the Rams were once identified in the Haynesworth trade talk when the Redskins were said to be after Bradford. They could be just as eager for a shot at Clausen or McCoy with the 33rd pick.
There are some other well-known names said to be available including Patrick Crayton, Marcus Spears and Sam Hurd from the Cowboys; Jags DT John Henderson; Saints OT Jamaal Brown; and Titans RB LenDale White.
The Rams are on the clock in less than hour. We'll know soon whether or not they've made a swap. Adam Schefter also says they're receiving offers, but he also says they might keep the pick and draft a wide receiver.

What about Bowman and Price???
I think I would like those two picks. All about the defense this year!!!!!
Trade down for great picks!
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
I would think the pick would have been traded by now, right?
If the Bulls don’t make the playoffs I won’t need to watch basketball, its on to basketball.

protect Sam it is

Reach!
We’re going to scrape a D together with late round picks and hope Spags can work some magic out of nothing.
Drafting to our coaching strengths I suppose…
im pissed that we didnt trade down
Sam Bradford
Devaney said the best offer they got
was to trade down to #48 in 2nd round and get some late round garbage. Carolina wan’ted to get up to get Clausen, but they didn’t offer us much. Everyone kept saying the talent in the 2nd round was pretty even from top to bottom, so why would most teams trade up? We all thought there would be a race to take the QBs, but Clausen fell all the way to 48 and McCoy to the late 3rd round. Obviously we guessed wrong when we felt there would be lots of teams fighting to get to the top of the 2nd round. It didn’t happen, largely because no one wanted the QBs.
Saffold?
Really? Why in God’s name would we pick ANOTHER OFFENSIVE TACKLE????????????????????????????????????

i love how kiper
is convinced he will be playing Left Tackle
Don't leave the duck there thats totally irresponsible. Put it on the swing it'll have much more fun. - Sleep Talkin' Man

well we payed smith
a good amount of money to play Left Tackle so I would hope he would be playing there.

Here's a good idea...
Why don’t we get someone to throw the ball to? He can stand back there for an hour if he wants….but if he has NO ONE TO THROW THE BALL TO, THEN WHY DOES HE NEED ALL THAT TIME??

Barron is gonna be gone after this year
groom the next tackle opposite of J. Smith. I like our O-Line a lot
Sam Bradford
Yea whats wrong with having 2 good tackles for years to come?

Because we don't have anybody else good on our team!!!!

Correction
We have a 50 Million Dollar quarterback. If I could install bulletproof glass and kevlar around him I would.
So if we don’t have any thats good then it doesn’t matter who we pick cause they should be better than what we already have correct?

Lots of people were saying we should draft a tackle
and get rid of Barron. I heard “book-end tackles” a lot on here leading up to the draft. Well, we got what quite a few were hoping for.
Good pick!
This is a need for our O-line. We have Goldberg who is better suited at G. This pick will allow Smith to go to the left and Barron at the right. Saffold will be third and groomed to take over the right.
Saffold as third?
I’m all for developing a QB, but our 2 top picks appear projects.
Is a starter coming anytime soon?
Yeah...As I said before, we draft all our starters in the 6th and 7th round.

Don't mind the pick at all
Bradford got hurt with a porous O-line last year. With a $50 investment behind center, you got to protect him, right?

You need a QB at some point going forward

Here we go with the 'if not Bradford, who' arguments again.
It’s like half the worlds population is under the impression that Bradford was the only QB who could play for us. I understand hindsight is 20/20 but part of my reasoning for wanting Suh was flexibilty on who we drafted the other rounds.
This draft is bordering on failing
considering our draft position. I’m not commenting on the performance of any of our picks it’s justr not the way I’d go.
Thanks
We’ll take your analysis under more consideration when you get a GM job.
What is there to feel good about? Oh yeah, I forgot....The Rams philosophy is to draft a Linebacker in the 7th round and start him, just like we did a couple years ago. This is why we suck EVERY year.

I don't mind the pick
There are 7-8 WR’s projected for the 2nd-3rd rounds – none as good as Tate or Benn but we can get someone in the 3rd that can contribute immediately. Not too excited though
We don't need one. We have all 4 out of our last 5 top round picks tied up in the trenches. We will just field and offensive line and defensive line and hope they don't get past either one. SMH

what about it?
we drafted a franchise quarterback in the 1st round – he has to be protected. you can’t have it all – i don’t disagree with you but look, we need everything. until we have everything, we won’t agree on anything
i don’t think that made any sense
WE WILL PROTECT HIM WITH OUR $40 Million dollar LT FROM LAST YEAR!!!

Hope they pick a receiver soon
Best moment I've ever seen at a Cards game in person
Felipe Lopez for closer!
wow, what about Billy D
Stating we need game changers???? Im not sure about this pick at all, but last year I was pissed with the 2nd round pick, so in all honestly what do I know.
Conservative...
We are just being conservative… we are not taking any risks. I am OK with the move but we need to get a TE and a WR… It is a good start to solidify our OL for Bradford but a TE is going to be key in our WCO.
They took a QB
and plan on giving him $50 million. How is that not a risk?
Most of the recievers that are gonna be avaliable are probably good to average receivers
The Rams already have some young good to average receivers.
They need a guy who can command a double team
Not necessarily
I think there’s a good chance that we do – but we have so many needs. OLB, RB, CB, DE…to name a few.
I don't mind the pick
Need O-Line depth to protect the QB. Very deep defensive draft – there are still going to be some good players there when we pick in the 3rd.
It’s still possible that we trade Barron, too.
It might be a deep draft
But the best players will still be gone early.
Are we going to get great starters in the 3rd, 4th and 5th rounds to address DE, OLB and TE? Not unless they unearth some gems, and we still have other needs.
I agree.
we haven’t even thought about another RB or WR….

What about trading up our 3rd
We could make sure of Asamoah and make sure that Bradford is totally safe when handing off to SJax
Deveany loves that idea! He's fielding phone calls now!

Don't worry, they wont....

No, if I was there would be a fight because I would punch Devaney in the neck for picking another Left Tackle.,,

Do you see this highlight reel?? That kid has some skills

-- Lou Holtz
Nah, we are going to pick up a center in the 3rd round. Even though we just signed a free agent last year, it only makes sense to get another one to protect Bradford. Right?

If charlie weis isn't picking clausen
then who will
Sam Bradford
This just proves Kiper has lost it
Sam Bradford
I hope he does...
McCoy is the winningest college QB of all time. What more needs to be said?
On this team, we are all united in a common goal: to keep my job.
-- Lou Holtz
that he played with a lot more talent than anybody else
against lesser talented college football teams.
Sam Bradford
Not true...
While he was there, he never won a National Championship. So obviously there were better teams out there….

Oh so then he wasn’t a bad pick. Why is everyone frowning on this crap? Saffold will challenge Barron for playing time and probably win the starting position at the end of training camp.
I’m sure the coaches were tired of Alex “Jump Back” Barron constantly costing us 5 yards in penalties and killing drives.
I like it
Bradford’s greatest strength is surgically ripping a team apart given 4 -5 seconds and Voila! He has a good chance of having that everytime he passes. WR’s were all reaches to become #1’s, DE’s pretty much all had personality concerns, TE’s were all reaches (given Gronkowski’s injury history), and the OLB’s were good but maybe not the best fit (and a reach if Bowman was their favorite). Bradford going to the pro bowl in year 1?
Doubt it....
No matter how good a QB is, you need receivers to catch. Look at McNabb, this guy is a great QB. He only made it when he had T.O.

Really, an aneurysm?
Is D’Marco Farr and Carter in the room?
My mistake, he’d be in a fetal position if that was the case and there would be a janitor mopping up piss.
I think the WR is coming early next year
when all the #! talent will be there. After Bay-Bay and Bryant there wasn’t much at WR this year. No use adding another #2 WR to the collection we already have.
