How About This (What If)Trade Scenario

I read a rumor that Jeff Fisher is going to trade QB Sam Bradford to the Browns, so he can take RGIII with the second pick. Now keep in mind, i did say rumor and there could be no weight to this at all, but i figure its worth a discussion. I also read that ESPN has this info but is waiting till the SB weekend to break it (Spin/Twist/Blow it up).

This is why i think its something worth talking about everyone knows JF is a control freak and wants everything done his way, this is why he chose the rams over the fins. On top of that they have the #2 pick, and major trade bait in Bradford or vise versa. Of course hes gonna want his own guys on the team and this is why Bradford becomes expendable.

Now here is my thought, or scenario.

JF always disliked Vince Young, i thought this was because he was a scrambling QB? it doesn't make sense to me that he would draft another one, if this rumor is true. So what if he plans to trade Bradford to the browns and wants to get both first rounders and a second, the Bears gave up 2 first rounders and then some for Cutler.

So now the rams are sitting with no QB and and possibly 3 first round and 2 second round picks. so you know they need a QB and its just so happens that there is the "best" prospect in a while, in this draft. do they make a move for him? if hes as good(NFL ready) has everybody says he, is why would they not.

IF PM is healthy and ready to play by march 8th, do they make the call to trade down and take RGIII #2 and have 4 and 22 in the first round. RGIII has already said he has no problem sitting behind Peyton, and Peyton already said Luck should start day one. Also the new HC is gonna need some players on defense to run his system.

IF this some how fell in to place, and we received 3 first rounders, 2/4/22 and a second, who would you like to see with the 4th and 22nd pick? assuming that we use #2 on RGIII.

Altho far fetched, this i believe would most certainly please everyone, you get your high pick QB, and i get my bounty of draft picks....with that said my fingers are crossed

What are these values? I never heard of or seen

NFL Draft Pick Value Card

yes you are correct using the point system, but i(and all pro luck people) would say its worth the best prospect in 25 years...

That is why they have the value card, because they have learned over the years that perceived player value is not a good reason to make trades.

I'd still take the pro-style QB (Luck) , not the "one hit (year) wonder" RG3.

What makes you think he, RGIII, is a one year Wonder. He was a three year starter (would have been a 4 year starter if not for a knee injury). For his career he has more attempts, more completions (a higher completion percentage) and more passing yards than Luck. Luck has 5 more TDs and also 5 more INTs.

I'm not a huge fan of running QBs so I'm not a huge fan of RGIII but the claim of him being a one year wonder is not accurate at all.

my thought too, if he would have went back for his senior year he would of have career numbers that would have compared to Tebow

I'd take Blackmon if possible.

I agree.

I do think they will take Blackmon and give Bradford a valuable weapon. IMO I just don't see Blackmon being a bad receiver and possibly Bradford to Blackmon will be a combination that helps the Rams for years to come, not that I'm a Rams fan or care by any means.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By Smonroe · Posted

      Again, I’m not saying a good D isn’t needed…well, maybe I am….  But what I’m really saying is that with a great Offensive you can win with an average Defense.   And, as to your point, I think all the teams that lost in those games you mentioned all had very good defenses.

      Personally I think Thomas got pressed into playing before his time. He did a few things we didn't expect initially considering his draft position. I think ideally they wanted to take their time and train him up sorta like EJ Speed then get him out there.  I'm interested to see how he regroups to be honest.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By CR91 · Posted

      Look im not gonna say Ballard haven't had his own issues, but the guy has been put in an impossible position particularly every year.   2017 - He has a lame duck for a head coach when we all knew was gonna get fired and was drafting for his scheme so I'll give him a pass.   2018 - Arguably his best draft getting two All-pros and a stalwart at RT. He gets to sign his choice of a head coach and is left at the alter at the 11th hour which in hindsight was a blessing in disguise. Drafted Tyquan Lewis, Hines, and Franklin who all have or had great years here. Andrew Luck was back and playing like an MVP.   2019 - Horrible draft. No excuses. It was his worst draft as a GM, but he did find a gem in Speed. Luck retiring a week before the season starts would put any GM in a tough spot so once again I'll give him a pass.   2020 - His second best draft getting Pittman, Taylor, and Blackmon. Signed Rivers and traded for Buckner and won 11 games. Unfortunately lost to the Bills in the playoffs.   2021 - I honestly can't tell for certain what happened in terms of QB. Ive heard Rivers was supposed to re-sign, but choice to retire. I've heard he was pushed to retirement as the colts wanted to go in a different direction which was apparently Stafford before the Rams came in last second. I heard Reich pushed hard for Wentz saying he can fix him against the wishes of Ballard. If you ask me, I think Stafford was plan A as Stafford himself said him and his wife were so convinced he was going to Indy that they started looking at homes. When that fell through, imo Reich lobbied for Wentz. Whatever it was, Wentz was the guy and the QB carousal was supposedly stopped at least we thought. A god-like season for Taylor was not enough to save Wentz from ultimately being traded and you can chalk that one on whomever Reich or Ballard depending on what story you want to believe. In terms of the draft, Paye and Dayo have been reliable players on the dline, Granson you can make an argument is our best TE, and Fries came into his own last year.   2022 - Just an overall disaster of a season. Went the bandage route again at QB trading for Matt Ryan and you can say the colts did him no favors in terms of oline protection and JT getting hurt, but that was a failed trade for a miserable season. 2022 draft is still under elevation, but Pierce and Woods did show potential as rookies and Raimann looks to be the LT of the future.   2023 - Ballard finally gets to draft a QB to tether him to and Richardson plays a grand total of 12 quarters. It just seems like Ballard can not catch a break when it comes to QBs, but from I've seen from Richardson, I have very high expectations.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By John Hammonds · Posted

      Hi Colts fans,   Yeah, I know, I know.  I was just as surprised as you were.  No clue why my good friend Jim Irsay would call me up and offer me the head coaching job.  I had to remind him.  Dude, I said, you do know that I've never coached at all at the NFL level.  Not coordinator.  Not even position coach.  Nothing.  It didn't seem to matter.  It was as if all that was required was for me to be good friends with the owner, and -- bazinga! -- I could be a head coach.   It was awkward, you know.  That first coaches meeting.  There was Gus Bradley.  And there was John Fox.  Both of them had been head coaches.  Heck, both of them had coached in a Super Bowl!  Yet here I was, promoted to be their boss, having never coached before.  Ever.   But, you know, Bud Grant did it.  So, why not?  Remember, I have a way of doing things.   Ok, sorry, I couldn't help but giggle.  I have a way of doing... what, exactly?  Things?  Things like coaching?  I have a way of coaching?  And how did I develop that way?  By actually, you know, coaching?   Anyway, I'm glad you have a new head coach.  One who has actually coached before.  And his experience doing that is bearing fruit.  I'm just glad I'm already in the Ring of Honor.  Because after what happened, I doubt that I would ever be accepted in by the fans, regardless of how I was as a player.  Heck, they would have put Andrew Luck in before they would even consider me.   In the meantime, I'm back at ESPN, attempting to "un-burn" bridges.  It can happen.  I heard Bud Grant did that once....   Regards, Jeff Saturday
