Smokescreen? Maybe Blackmon will fall to our pick and we can dangle it in front of a team like New England like a piece of meat.

First, New England won't trade up. They trade back and collect picks from other dummies (like us).

Second, it won't change much anyway for us. I still see MoClay going to the Bucs, which along with Blackmon are the other most logical options IMO for the Rams.

With the amount of picks New England has, they could easily move into the top 10 and draft a guy they feel can automatically upgrade such an important need.

There are a couple of other teams that could also wanna move into the top 10 for a guy like Blackmon.

I don't think that will happen. If it does, it guarantees that Claiborne will be gone before us. He would have been anyways though

[Proudiddy]

Possible, but there also is the rumor that half or more of the top 10 are looking to trade back, which doesn't make our pick particularly appealing.

Less of a financial risk now with the rookie cap, and the fact that they have to make the most out of Tom Brady's few remaining years. I think there is a good chance they actually try to trade up.

I'd be glad if the Rams or Browns take Richardson. I would hate seeing Richardson twice a year in a Bucs uniform.

I just can't believe anyone would be dumb enough to take a RB in the top ten any longer, except for maybe the new college coach for Tampa.

It is a passing league now. Look at FA.

WR's and CB's went like hotcakes and got top money. Who was left and still on the sidelines? RB's.

Richardson could be the one who "unexpectedly" falls this year. He might do a Brady Quinn

Nah man Richardson is coming into this draft with the same sort of hype that Adrian Peterson got taken 7th overall. I think there are a lot of teams that have the passing part down, but could use another threat on the ground. Richardson is also a threat in the pass game. We haven't had a RB this good since AP coming into the draft.

Don't see why Rams need Richardson, bc they still have Steven Jackson. Believe it's just a smokescreen. If they need a rb, they'll look in the 2nd for a Miller, Wilson or Polk.

No way Pats trade up for Blackmon. They signed like 50 wrs over the offseason. Has a better chance of them trading for Floyd.

Richardson will be a Brown, guaranteed.

[Proudiddy]

Richardson will be good, but he will not be a gamebreaker like AP. He doesn't have the breakaway speed.

But T-Rich doesn't have fumble, or injury issues.

[stirs]

Didn't AP go like 8th?

I wanna say 7th.
