Quote:I see the Rams doing anything they can to trade out of the 2nd slot.  Even if they do want to take a tackle....they can trade down several spots and would still be likely to get Matthews/Robinson or even Lewan.  I think ultimately they trade down and take one of those three with Sammy Watkins being a dark horse candidate.  Clowney is another dark horse simply because I think teams will fall in love with his unheard of size/speed/athleticism.  

 

*EDIT* Great thread by the way with many people seeing the Rams taking a tackle at the 2 spot a foregone conclusion.

I agree. I know the scenario is assuming they do not trade, but I think if Houston doesn't take Clowney, someone will trade up in my opinion. I remember watching the senior bowl practices on NFL Network and they interviewed Dimitroff, Snead, and Caldwell who through previous affiliations are very close. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Snead deals with Dimitroff. Atlanta is in need of an OT and a DE. In fact they may also be partners with the Jags if the Rams decide to stay put.
