Rams pick for RGIII this year could easily be top 5, maybe #2

[ponyboy]

The Rams may be in a position to entertain offers for their pick again if Washington implodes and loses out down the stretch.  They have 49ers, NYG(2), Dallas, KC, and Atl remaining.  I could see the Falcons, Texans, and maybe the Bucs leap frogging the Skins.  That would leave the Skins, Vikings, and Jags at the bottom.

 

However there are currently 9 teams with 4 wins.  Skins have 3.  Falcons, Texans, Bucs, Vikings 2.  Jax 1.

Can't be.

 

RGIII won rookie of the year last season.....he is awesome and so are the Redskins and I won't hear any argument otherwise!!!

No way man, this year is the year of the jaguars. Skins don't stand a chance.

Why would they trade out of it they need more help being in that division plus they may go QB they may be losing hope in Bradford

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

they ain't going anywhere being stuck in that division. Go big or go home for the Rams!

Time to move on from Sam Bradford for the Rams.

 

I would not be shocked if the Rams take a flier on Johnny Manziel who needs to go to a team with defensive talent so that he does not have to carry the burden, just like Russell Wilson with the Seahawks.

Problem with Bradford to me is that he hasn't been so bad that you can just label him a bust and move on, but he's not ever shown that he's good enough to take them places.

 

If they don't go QB, then they would be wise to trade down if they end up in the top 5.

I'd personally move on from Bradford. How is Kellen Clemens able to get more out of that offense and Tavon Austin than Bradford?

 

Bradford, like Alex Smith, needs to go to a team where he gets a LOT of help from the running game because he cannot put it on his "weak" shoulders.

Agree ... Bradford is not bad necessarily, but is never going to be a QB that can carry a team/will them to win.  See Alex Smith, Andy Dalton, Matt Schaub, etc ....

Wouldn't Bradfords contract be an issue? I'm sure he's guaranteed something silly next season like his entire base.

This season (2013) was his last real big dead money year, it would have cost them over $23 million had they cut him this season.  If they cut him next season it will cost them $7.1 million in dead money; keeping him next season costs them a lot more though ($17.6 million).  So what they save by cutting Bradford will pay a high 1st round QBs salary next season + give them about $5 million in additional cap space.

Thanks for clearing that up, you know with a QB rich draft and the Redskins woes this makes a lot of sense. All you need now is for the Cards to get a decent QB prospect and that's a heck of a scary division for a long time.
