Rams GM Les Snead made it clear that, with the second pick, the Rams are open for business. He’d like to get an extra first-rounder out of the deal if possible, and with a major bargaining chip like Jadeveon Clowney or Teddy Bridgewater (if the Louisville quarterback comes out, as expected) in play, he may be able to reach his goal. “There are going to be some teams that want to pick a quarterback,” said Snead, “and that could increase the value of our pick. I have told people I’m not sure I know how to draft without multiple first-round picks, so I’m always going to be interested when it comes to making sure I can continue to do that.”

DISREGARD

YESSS

 

[SonnyBoy]

I'm completely indifferent about Mike S. being fired. The owner is the same, we'll get the same result. The definition of insanity.

Rams about to fleece another team with a first round pick.

If the Rams play this right they are going to get very good very quickly. Someone will trade up to the 2, no question.

Hey RBH, I have a present for you.

The Schiano meme was fun while it lasted.

I know you must be devastated by this news, DM.

 

[Wrayfield]

The Steelers were a Sanders drop and Brown pinkie toe from going undefeated in the second half of the season. Not that they deserved to win those games, but it's a long way from how the year began. Really saw some improvements.

Awesome avatar. Addarallatar!

Fire Tomlin and Haley!

Really looking forward to next season. Not terribly excited to see a mediocre Steelers defense (though they showed great progress in the second half, amazing what a pass rush gets you) though that offense should be killer, especially if we get a big WR in this draft.

They kind of already did. Jeff fisher the god.

 

[Tom Penny]

So the Lions used Schwartz as the scapegoat. Classless.

 

[jakncoke]

I cant wait to see how Bell performs in his 2nd season.

 

[ScottSullivan]

I would be very interested in another Mike Nolan led team. I wouldn't say he was a good head coach for the 49ers, but he did do a few good things that helped get the team to where it is now.

 

[Doorman]

Regarding that Rams news, it seems awfully early in the process to be openly shopping your pick. If everyone knows you don't want any of the players at that spot I think it potentially harms their bargaining position somewhat. I'd also be worried about a general manager that admits they "don't think they can draft without multiple first-round picks." Ultimately isn't the goal to be able to sustain some success with only a late-round first?

The Rams traded up for Tavon Austin and signed Jared Cook to run a spread offense, then had to abandon it when they didn't have the personnel to run it. They haven't had a receiver eclipse 700 yards receiving since 2008. They don't know how to draft/develop/deploy offensive players

He's joking b/c the first thing he ever did was the RG3 trade. And they shopped that pick the moment they got it and their bargaining position was just fine

 

[Alligatorjandro]

At this point the Browns should go and catch a wild baboon and name it coach, couldnt do any worse than any other coach.

 

[Mackenzie 92]

Still no news in Oaktown. Cant imagine Allen will be fired now with no shot at landing a top candidate with all the other more attractive jobs.

Freeman is gone.

Schiano is gone.

You have NOTHING!

Draft all of your good players?

Thank you.

Fire Tomlin and Haley!

Me, too. I think one of the biggest problems with the defense, other than a lack of talent at certain positions, was a lack of depth. Need to free up salary to keep some of the younger guys, even if they aren't slated to start. Bring in some cheap vets to hold down the fort.

Cards going to trade up for Manziel. Calling it now. Book it.

 

[Eleuin]

Happy for Lion fans, congrats guys

I wonder who will be the next redskins? Rams are in an amazing position.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

For the Dolphins:

-Ireland and Ross needs to go
-Get rid of Sherman and find a better OC
-Give Philbin another year. If nothing improves, then fire his ass and let him go back to GB.
-Give Tannehill another 1-2 years. Again, if nothing improves, then fire his ass.
-OL needs a MAJOR overhaul

 

[Smokey]

I like how some fired coaches are getting mentioned for other jobs and ain't nobody said shit about kubiak. Not even possible OC somewhere lulz

U done goofed kubes

 

[BlackGhost]

Cards going to trade up for Manziel. Calling it now. Book it.

That doesn't seem like the kind of guy Bruce Arians would want. I personally think they'll try for someone like Carr or maybe even Mccarron.

 

[Plinko]

Stay away from Lovie or Zimmer, Tampa. He's the hero we need.

 

[jakncoke]

Freeman is gone.

Schiano is gone.

You have NOTHING!

Your qb is napoleon dynamite

Several people close to Lovie Smith had told me in recent days that if the Tampa job opened up, it would have a particular allure to him

Lions update:

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 2m

There ya go. Mayhew running coaching search RT @AlbertBreer: Per Lions source, president Tom Lewand and GM Martin Mayhew are safe.

If you needed confirmation.

 

[Mackenzie 92]

Wouldnt mind Schwartz coming to Oakland to be DC.

Lots of Kubiak to the Lions starting to bubble up.

The Rams do not have the QB of the future on their roster. They need to draft one...

How can you not like this guy? He's about as likable as football players get.

Arians will want a big arm, so I don't think McCarron fits. I think they roll with Palmer another year and try to find gold in the middle rounds

Ian Rapoport &#8207;@RapSheet
Said yesterday Penn St was preparing for a big push to hire Greg Schiano, as they expect Bill O’Brien to leave. Nothing stopping them now.

Seems O'Brien all but gone. Sucks for jnc

 

[slightconfuse]

Rams to trade their #2 pick for RG3

 

[jmdajr]

what a day

 

[Wes]

Browns presser starting. Haslam and Banner there.

 

[DMczaf]

hey jakncoke

You are a Schiano man.

 

[Mindlog]

Your qb is napoleon dynamite

http://cbssports.com/images/blogs/mike-glennon-napoleon-dynamite.jpg

After years of drowning in youngry schiano tacos we're getting a quarterback nicknamed, Dynamite?
I'll take it.

 

[Dr_LawyerCop]

Any word on Dallas? I'd love to see Garrett go. And Kiffen. And Callahan.

 

[Talamius]

Agreed but this draft is going to be somewhat light on franchise QBs. I'm not even 100% sold on Teddy. Rams stockpiling picks and filling holes will be much more productive.

 

[Starphoenix]

If I didn't think Houston was going to take Bridgewater, I'd say that the Cards would grab him.

Garrett is staying. Kiffin is probably gone.

Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo 25s

As Jimmy Haslam addresses the media, I can tell you the Browns have put in a formal request to speak to Broncos OC Adam Gase.

Is that the first confirmed request for the browns?

Kiffin is probably gone.

They'll just wheelchair him out. He won't even notice.

 

[DMczaf]

Bah!
