Insanely Brilliant Mock Draft

PrintOk so like all my TST brethren out thereI have made reading mock drafts just as important as taking one more shot before taking that ugly girl from the bar home....And while some were Vanilla and repetitive others were really interesting but too far fetched... Alas I found one that's sooo Insane it just might work.So Before I start things get more interesting with some trades. St.Louis trades Sam Bradford to the Cleveland Browns for their two 1st round draft picks their 2nd and 7th round picks plus a 3rd rounder next year...Shocked? well there's more..St.Louis again with another shocking trade deals RB Steven Jackson to the New York Jets for their 2nd and 5th round pick of this years draft. Yes sir we are completely restructuring our beloved franchise for a new beginning. So to break it down we have 1,1,1,2,2,2,3,4,5,6,7,7 and a compensatory 7th round pick to a grand total of 13 picks and this is what we do with em. Here it is after the jump.
RD 1 pick 2. Rams select: ROBERT GRIFFIN III, QB Baylor
via I know its nuts but he is an absolute stud and can run and pass, with our line that helps, he will bring excitement to our team and sell tickets plus he will win games.
RD. 1 pick 4(from Browns). Rams select: TRENT RICHARDSON, RB Alabama
via With one of the most talented RB's to come out since Adrian Peterson, Richardson falls right on our laps. We continue to add playmakers and have a young strong foundation for years to come. Must needed pick here.
RD 1 pick 22(from Browns via Falcons). Rams select: KENDALL WRIGHT, WR Baylor
via Though he isn't Blackmon he is still dynamic in his own right. He has just as much upside as any wideout in the draft and as an added bonus he gets drafted to the team that has his college QB that help make him who he is now. That combo will completely take NFL defenses by storm.....can anyone say TOUCHDOWNS!!!!!
RD 2 pick 33. Rams select: JANORIS JENKINS, CB North Alabama
via Never in a million years would this have happened with the old regime but their gone so who cares. Coach Fisher has taken chances on "Troubled" but extremely talented players before and I'm sure he can do the same seeing how much talent this team needs. Top 5 pick easily until his uh issues but talent is there regardless and will show it.
RD 2 pick 37(from Browns). Rams select: MICHAEL ADAMS, OT Ohio St
via As the creator of this draft mentioned "He is no Orlando Pace" but he has talent and will fill a need right off the bat. He probably will be our LT so Saffy is kicked over to the right and we again have bookend tackles.
RD 2 pick 47(from Jets). Rams select: LAVONTE DAVID, LB Nebraska
via Big time defensive player who can set the tone on defense and by paring up with JL we make our defense that much better.Ultra athletic and far and away better then the bums we had at the position in years.
RD 3 pick 66. Rams select: MICHAEL BREWSTER, C Ohio ST. 
via cdn.bleacherreport.net
Again we focus on our pathetic offensive line. Brewster is the 2nd best OC in the draft and we nab him in the 3rd. Young and talented and will take the spot from Brown with a blink of an eye. Our team looks better already.
RD 4 pick 96. Rams select: CLIFF HARRIS, CB Oregon (kind of)
via Yes again and I know he has been in trouble too but with the choir boys we had the past 3 years I think we can look for some bad asses for help. Harris was a good corner and a great returner. Super athletic and fast and was an All American too boot. The only thing faster than Harris was the car he was driving...LOL
RD 5 pick 146(from Jets). Rams select: JEFF DEMPS, RB Florida
via ELECTRIC....ELECTRIC.....ELECTRIC. That's how you describe Demps time in Florida. He is a great returner and and explosive RB who can take it to the house at any time. He can give Richardson a break and still provide home run potential. Also lots of returners are better than none right?
RD 6 pick 160. Rams select: JANZEN JACKSON, S McNeese St. 
via cdn.bleacherreport.net
Has the talent just maybe doesn't have the brain cells to stay outta trouble. Was projected to be a 1st round guy before he got the boot from Tennessee. And with a pick this late its worth taking a flyer on a guy who has potential. Depth is need at the position and with such a young group of DB's coming in they can grow and learn together.
RD 7 pick 193. Rams select: JOSH OGLESBY, OT Wisconsin 
via farm7.static.flickr.com
Played RT for the Huskers and was voted the best college O-line last season. Has talent and with a late round flyer why not use it on another OL....oh BTW he had 6 knee surgeries in his career thats why he is so far down....I know I know but PS might do him well and could be a DX type of spot starter if need be.
RD 7 pick 195(from Browns). Rams select: TRAVIS BENJAMIN, WR Miami FL.
via A burner WR who explodes after the catch. Showed great flashes as a freshman but with so many issues at Miami never really put it all together like other Miami WR's, but like those same WR's he has talent and could find a niche as a returner or slot guy and lets face it we need speed at the skill positions.
RD 7 pick compensatory pick. Rams select: LAVASIER TUINEI, WR Oregon 
via cdn.bleacherreport.net
Remember him from the Rose bowl? Yup he lit it up against a very good Wisconsin team. has the length but not the speed of a top threat. Could be a redzone type guy who DX should have been except without all the knee troubles.
And there you have it Folks. The Crazy new 2012 mock NFL draft that will undoubtedly raise some questions. It's focus is primarily on offense but for good reason. When I read it I immediately thought "Where's the DT?" and well its not there so I'm guessing that will be addressed in FA along with maybe RB, DE, OLB. So whats your thoughts? and If you wanna see for yourself http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1024859-rams-7-round-mock-draft-with-trades.

Nice Draft
If you could draft all these guys you should be the next GM. TE, OLB and 2 DT in FA and we are a whole new team that other teams will dread playing.

Thanks...
I doubt all these guys will score for us…like many drafts not everyone plays to their potential but with top flight QB,RB and WR I think this would be an explosive offense as well as return team.

brilliant
is definitely the right word. I would love for this to happen. We would have a really exciting team for years to come. So let us just pull the trigger and get this done.
Janzen Jackson and Cliff Harris
Are solid choices. They add speed and take away abilty to the D; Janoris Jenkins is another fast defensive playmaker. Disagree with taking RGIII. The Rams are on the hook with Bradford salary wise. They drafted him before the new rookie wage scale was implemented. That would be a lot of wasted money for a position that is already filled. That money would be better served filling needs at LB, DT, and FA’s.
How much would it cost against the cap to trade Bradford? jw. I always hear that but never hear a price.

It Is My Understanding
That The Rams have paid Bradford 30 Million Dollars. That money is already paid. The Team has invested 30 Million in one player going into his 3rd season. With that type of money invested; it is tough to justify cutting the cord this soon.
Bradford is also guaranteed 21 Million Dollars over two years: 2012- 12 Million for 2013- 9 Million. A team that wanted Bradford would have to pick up that 21 Million guaranteed over two years and give up multiple draft picks. If I were an owner; I would not make that trade; too expensive IMO.
Don't the Rams have a poop load of money coming up in our cap?

Cap Space For 2012 is 10 Million.
Cap Space for 2013 is 45 Million.
RGIII
imo RGIII would make our OL look much better and he could start his NFL career learning 1 system, not 3. I like Bradford but this team needs a complete overhaul and extra picks would help. Most of our starters would be backups on other teams.

This actually fucking brilliant
Only thing, I wouldn’t draft two recievers or two corners change those to a center and a dt and this is really good

This is great
Most can guess why I’m saying this.

Binging up Harris and Tuinei
Was very smart. Tuinei is an emotional player. always wanting the ball. took a back seat to Thomas and LaMichael. I would like to see him compete for the last WR spot. Your right, he isn’t broken like DX but still a great size target. As for Harris, could be the steal of the draft. Just because he couldn’t drive 55, doesn’t mean he can’t play ball. Great return man. Very good in coverage. Someone just needs to get him driving lessons and help him get his license back.

Tuinei is supposed to be my sleeper of the draft
All you guys shut up and stop talking about him, or everyone will know, lol.

Jeff Demps
isn’t going to the NFL. Olympics, unless that was rainey, I do think it was Demps that said it thoug.
Is that great man formally known as Tevin T. Broner, also I'm on twitter Follow @T_Bron
you really think steven jackson is gonna get a 2nd and 5th round draft pick?
or that sam bradford is gonna get two firsts and a 2nd THIS year? i really think your grossly overestimating our assets. also, sam bradfords contract basically makes him untradeable.

The Jets are that close to having a superbowl team and well they paid LT right so SJax must be cheap to them.....
Also if people think the Browns will give that much away for 1 (unproven) draft pick what makes you think they wouldn’t spen that much for a proven winner at franchise QB especially with Shurmer as HC…..If CLE could swing it I bet they would take him in a heartbeat.

Yea, the main problems with this
Is that we CAN’T trade Sam because of the salary cap
AND
Neither of those two guys are worth nearly what you think we can get for them. Not even close.
Cool idea though
This is horrible.
And we’ve already beat the dead horse of trading Sam…..just $$36(?) million being thrown out; not happening. The SJax trade however, I could see happening; plus the only thing Jets fans have been doing the last 2 days is laughing at us signing Schotty and wanting SJax; so I hope the latter doesn’t happen.
Beating off the dog is never appropriate when we have company over...... I mean EVER!
Take this a little further and watch Indy take RGIII
Then we have the choice of trading Sam or Luck for picks. Imagine that, eh?
Wolf. Wolfgang Wolf
You guys are thinking like a Billy D and folding your arms and shaking your head saying out loud
“We can’t do this, That will never work, I just can’t imagine them on our team” well then fine think that way…..on Sundays watch Sam hand off to Sjax twice for a gain of 4 then have him pass to Gibson for a gain of 4 and then watch us punt again. While the rest of us pull for this to happen and watch RGIII hand off to T. Rich for a gain of 15 then have RGIII PA and take a keeper for a gain of 12 followed by a QB rollout to pass down field to Wright for a gain of 25 then up they middle run to T. Rich again for u guessed it TD!!! and thats just the offense Jenkins, Jackson and Harris can take any INT to the house and if they punt Demps is back there to bring it back. WOW imagine what the score board would look like.

The second part is all assumption and hope..

The entire draft is all assumption and hope...

Actually, alot of us are just saying
That you are nuts to think we could get such big hauls for those two players. Your ideas are swell, just totally unrealistic
by Rick Siegel on Jan 17, 2012 12:20 AM CST up reply actions
Yea I get it and I absolutely believe this would never happen
Just throwing out scenarios hence the “Insanely” title.
"Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no PLAYOFFS."

And I think we all would have to admit this option though mind boggling was at least thrown around once or twice.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but
this trade scenario and mock draft is DOA. Understand the man we just turned the franchise over to. Jeff Fisher is known as a defensive guy who likes to work from the inside out. You have him pegged here as an offensive guy who likes to work from the outside in. No way……………..
The most accurate flaw you caught was no attention paid to the DT position. Jeff Fisher won’t make that mistake. All he will do prior to the draft is watch film of Beanie Wells and DeMarco Murray run roughshod over our defense and you can bet your last dollar he will address that position in a big way. If we are able to gain extra picks in this draft in the 1rst and or 2nd round I assure you the DT position will be addressed no later than the 2nd round. After our early selection in the 1rst round you can bank on JF taking Brockers or Still with our next pick if they are still on the board.
