St. Louis Rams Draft options?

In an article on NFL.com http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d8270b0ec/article/should-st-louis-stick-with-bradford-or-turn-to-rg3?module=HP11_content_stream I just read that the Rams might be able to get two first rounders for Sam Bradford, and I wonder, if that is true why wouldn't you pull the trigger, you have the second pick of the draft, so you are sure to get Robert Griffin III (If not Andrew Luck) Bradford has not worked out, yet people seem to think he can be a franchise QB, he had horrible stats last year, but not very much talent around him either, but guess what neither had Browns Colt McCoy, and yet he managed to outplay Bradford. Broadford's salary is way too huge, and if you could send him to Cleveland or Washington, receive 2 first rounders (or a 1st and 2nd) cut 4 million of the cap and get a better QB why wouldn't you make the move, what do you think?

I hear that a lot of people feel that the talent around him is more of the problem, but that should then also hold true for Colt McCoy right, Cleveland has given him nobody to throw to, Bradford got Brandon Lloyd, so does that mean you also think QB isn't a need in Cleveland?

They should try to trade down with Washington to get more picks or draft Matt Kalil or Justin Blackmon. Bradford needs to be protected and needs targets. If they can't re-sign Brandon Lloyd, I would draft Justin Blackmon for sure, but if they can, they it becomes debatable because Bradford really needs a better o-line.

Trust me, that's not good. I have the Rams trading down to the 4th pick in the draft for maybe the Browns 2nd rounder, a first next year, and some other picks/players.

But with that 4th pick they get a TOP WR in Blackmon. Then you get a top pass rusher in the 2nd. Bradford is good, he jsut doesn't have much around him to prove himself. Like Stafford was.

They just need to take Justin Blackmon and give Bradford a target.

That would be dumb, Bradford showed he can get this team in playoff contention as a rookie, they can have ANYONE they want besides Luck, and Blackmon would be a big help for Bradford

it is going to ensue. no rely if we get Blackmon or no longer, who's conscious of yet while he's on the board on each and every occasion the rams are on the clock, they're going to take him without hesitation. basically relies upon on who they commerce with. i'm hoping they preserve Lloyd and draft blackmon. That'd be greater suitable than adequate for Bradford to throw for over 4,000 yds and over 30 TD's
