The St. Louis Rams have decided to trade the No. 2 pick, league sources said Monday.

According to sources, the Rams already have had trade discussions with the Cleveland Browns (No. 4), Washington Redskins (No. 6) and Miami Dolphins (No. 8), each of whom is scheduled to pick in the top eight in April's draft.

The Rams, who already have quarterback and 2010 top pick Sam Bradford, also have discussed a potential trade with teams outside the top 10, according to a source, but it will be challenging for one to surrender enough compensation to vault to the second overall pick.

The Rams are seeking a deal similar to what the San Diego Chargers got for the rights to 2004 top overall pick Eli Manning, sources said Monday.

so much for the RG3 talks to Buffalo.... :birds:

Well, that adds up to a first (#4 ) and a third this year, and next year's first and fifth.

To 'move up' three spots.

Good move by them... tip your hand to get the bidding war going and score extra picks to drop anywhere from two to six slots. They'll still get a premium talent and a lot of support for a team that could definitely use it.

If they're looking for a Manning deal, I offer them #4, #37, #68, and whatever the fifth turns out to be. If they insist on the #22 instead of #37, i'd still do it.

That's assuming WAS and Miami haven't already gotten QBs. If they have, I tell STL to take a hike and let Griffin fall to 4.

Would McKelvin, Troup, Florence, or Carrington warrant any trade value?

Sure could. We could get a big pile of steaming **** for those guys.
