Hoorta answered your question for me.

Dan Snyder- but we already knew that. He overpaid by at least one first round pick.

We are both about as likely to get what we are looking for.

I heard the GM of the Rams today say he's looking for 3 #1's for the 2nd pick in the draft. If that's the case, there's no way we move up and I'd be willing to bet that they end up staying at the #2 and picking someone there, in which case RGIII will still be there when we pick 4.

With so many holes to fill, I think I'm good with staying put at 4 and calling the Rams bluff and see what happens.

If we wait until 22 to pick up a CB there will be slim picking to find an Elite one. However at 22 at WR there are supposed to be a few options still available that have outstanding potential and skills. In round two we may even be able to pick up Burfict to be an opposing force at the Linebacker position(considering his combine performance he may even be around in round 3).

It's so good to be back, my computer blew up last week and we were able to get a new one yesterday, and man is this one nice! The last one we bought used 5 years ago and it was slooow then but this new one is all like- "Welcome to the 21st Century!" LOL

Precisely.....I honestly don't think any move will be made until about 8:22 p.m. on April 26th.....when the Rams are on the Clock.

The ONLY way it can happen earlier is if the Colts reach an early contract agreement with Luck. Then and only then can any negotiations for RGIIIs services begin. After all, in theory, until and unless the Colts sign a deal with Luck, they would still be free to select whomever they want at about 8:15 that same day, including RGIII or anyone else.

Your if\then about Luck makes sense- but the Rams GM said they at least want to have a deal worked out "in principle" by the morning of the draft. They want to calmly sit down and look at all the offers- and decide which one is best. His quote was "15 minutes isn't enough time to get it done." Of course, some team could come in at the last second with a stupid offer, and blow that out of the water.

I'm not buying the Fisher smoke screen the Rams might just draft RGIII. That would leave them with an untenable situation with both him and Bradford on the roster. It would sure drive the trade value of Bradford into the dumpster.

Up, stay, down... another "all options are on the table" situation...

I do believe Heckert isn't tipping his hand any. Here is a rotoworld update from today that kind of support this, which is how I want the GM to be, not letting the world know what he wants per se.

Matt Flynn - QB - Packers

The Elyria Chronicle-Telegram and Lake County News-Herald both believe GM Tom Heckert implied Thursday that the Browns will not go after Matt Flynn in free agency.

The Akron Beacon-Journal also inferred that it's "doubtful" the Browns will acquire a "big-name, free-agent QB." Heckert made it clear that Peyton Manning wouldn't be a target, but he was tight-lipped on Flynn. Three beat writers walked away believing Flynn won't be a realistic option while the Canton Repository suggested the Browns may be the leaders in the clubhouse. At this point, Heckert's intentions are as clear as mud.

From ESPN "Heckert called all the speculation about a possible trade with St. Louis preliminary and labeled media reports as "crazy." He also said it's possible the Browns might hold on to their first pick."

In short, we still have all our options open- other than going after Peyton Manning.

This time of year you are going to see all sorts of reports and most of them will have some basis of truth. Teams are sending out all sorts of smoke signals.

@mike-h said:

It's funny though, the headline on ESPN is so pointed towards the opposite of that. So is the title of this post.

Sorry Mike that's wasn't my intent there- no doubt Heckert has called up the Rams to say "hey, we're interested in the second pick." IMO the "media reports" Heckert was referring to were the truckload of picks either the Browns or Redskins were reported to be willing to send to the Rams for the #2 pick.

I would love to see us sign some real quality free agents, but this regime seems to want to build through the draft. With that being said though the Browns can't be trading all there picks to move up for RGIII if they aren't going to sign players via free agency to fill there holes.

From ESPN "Heckert called all the speculation about a possible trade with St. Louis preliminary and labeled media reports as "crazy." He also said it's possible the Browns might hold on to their first pick."
