Quote:There is no reason to trade up one spot for anybody. The Rams don't need a quarterback for a defensive end. The only risk is the Browns or Raiders leapfrogging us for a quarterback.

 

You stated that there is no reason, then you provide a reason with two different circumstances.

 

What if St. Louis is entertaining offers from both Cleveland and Oakland and Jacksonville finds out about it? What if the player that those teams are targeting is a player that Jacksonville wants? Now St. Louis can simply drop back one spot, take the player that they want anyhow since they don't want the player that Jacksonville does, and garner an extra pick or so in the deal. That seems like a likely scenario, doesn't it?
