The St. Louis Rams are willing to trade the second overall pick of the April draft.
Chief operating officer Kevin Demoff said Tuesday that the team would make a deal under the right circumstances, but has not made any commitments despite a report late Monday that a trade had already been decided. He said new coach Jeff Fisher and general manager Les Snead went to the NFL combine with an open mind.
"I think coach Fisher and Les have been upfront that we will listen to offers for the #2 pick," Demoff said in an email to The Associated Press. "I didn't see anything in the report that differed from their statements." http://cnnsi.com/2012/football/nfl/02/28/rams.pick.ap/index.html?sct=hp_t2_a13&eref=sihp
Shacks' Take: What a great position the Rams are in, they either trade the 2nd pick for multiple picks or they trade Bradford for multiple picks, either way the Rams should get a whole lot better after this draft. The Rams say they're committed to Bradford, but I think that's short-sighted. They should evaluate RGIII against what they are offered for both him and Bradford and decide which gives them the greatest long term rewards. Saying they won't deal Bradford is the right thing to say in private but it would seem to me they are doing themselves a disservice by not exploring all their options.
