NFL draft thread w/ pre-pick LEAKS!?

1. It would make the Rams turning down the Browns offer for RG3 even more ridiculous.

2. Even after tradin Jackson I'd still believe they might be moving up for Blackmon.

3. If they take Richardson, I have to believe my Browns would trade down for someone who wants Kalil.

1) I don't believe the Browns one bit when they say they offered as much. I think that was Holmgren saving face, because if they did offer as much what benefit did the Rams have to move down further? I was at a season ticket holders draft preview hosted by the Rams and an audience member straight asked Snead (Rams GM) if Holmgren was being honest. Snead without directly saying no, said something along the lines that the Rams accepted the best offer that was on the table. Can't read into it too much, but I can't honestly believe the Rams would choose to move down further if the offers were the same.

2) If the Rams do trade Jackson the pick is Richardson. Here's why, other RBs on the roster: Quinn Porter and Chase Reynolds (guessing most people have never heard of either of those two). Career carries for the 2: 0. People always want to talk about how bad the WRs are, and they are incredibly bad, but behind Jackson there is no one. Literally, no one. There could not be less of a person behind Jackson right now. If Jackson is traded, the pick has to be Richardson. There is not another RB talent like him in this draft or maybe even the next one.

3) I do agree here. If the Rams trade back up to 4, have to imagine Kalil is sitting at 6 for the Browns who they could potentially auction off to anyone who wants him.
