St. Louis Rams Shopping the No.2 Pick?

    • The fact that the St. Louis Rams are entertaining the notion of trading the second overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft is not surprising in the least, as the Rams are in desperate need of more talent on both sides of the ball. As Profootballtalk.com reports, football insider Peter King is convinced that the Rams will trade the second overall pick in this year’s draft “for sure.”

    The teams in need of franchise quarterback such as Robert Griffin III are limited. The Colts, Dolphins, Browns, Seahawks, Redskins, and perhaps the Jaguars are the most obvious suitors for RGIII. However, the Colts will most likely alleviate that problem by drafting Andrew Luck, and one can certainly insinuate that Miami could be out of the market as they would be the ideal landing spot for UFA Packers quarterback Matt Flynn. That leaves Cleveland, Washington, Seattle and Jacksonville. In TheFanHub.com’s latest mock, Cleveland looks like the ideal landing spot for the Griffin at four, however, assuming Indianapolis and Washington pull the trigger on a trade for Peyton Manning that doesn’t involve their first round pick this year, the Redskins could still be the ideal landing spot for the Baylor quarterback.

    St. Louis’ logic must be simple; they feel secure that they can land either Matt Kalil or Justin Blackmon later in the first round with Griffin’s stock rather bullish and no indication it’s going to flatten out. Keep in mind that many top football executives use King as an unofficial news syndicate in an effort to circulate information, and inflate the market. We wouldn’t be surprised if this is one of those instances.

    NFL teams usually pretend that they aren't set on trading out of a certain draft position; just that they are "open" to making a move. The Rams don't seem interested in playing this game. They don't need to play games; they know how valuable Robert Griffin III is. SI.com's Peter King talked to Rams COO…
