Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post Dispatch reports with the NFL draft less than three weeks away, general manager Billy Devaney says the phone lines are open at Rams Park. In other words, the team is willing to listen to any trade proposals from clubs interested in moving up to the Rams’ No. 2 overall spot.
“Yeah, in the position we’re in, we’ll consider everything,” Devaney said. “It’s a little early. We kind of play with scenarios in our mind right now. But we haven’t gotten down to the nitty-gritty, if you will, to say: ‘OK, how far back would we trade?’ “
With the Rams in a rebuilding mode, this is a good year to stockpile extra picks. However, finding someone willing to move up to No. 2 — where the player will get a potential contract of $50 million-plus — is another matter.
I think the NFL needs to have some kind of salary range for these picks. The $$ these unproven players are getting is a bit out of hand imo. Nobody can afford the top few picks.
