Sources: Rams Decide To Trade No. 2 Pick

Oct 31, 2014 2:16 PM

The Rams have decided to trade the No. 2 pick, league sources said Monday. According to sources, the Rams already have had trade discussions with the Browns (No. 4), Redskins (No. 6) and Dolphins (No. 8), each of whom is scheduled to pick in the top eight in April's draft. The Rams, who already have quarterback and 2010 top pick Sam Bradford, also have discussed a potential trade with teams outside the top 10, according to a source, but it will be challenging for one to surrender enough compensation to vault to the second overall pick.

Eagles Could Make Run At No. 2 Pick

Oct 22, 2014 9:15 AM

The Rams are expected to trade the second overall pick in April's NFL Draft and the Eagles may be a potential trading partner. Phil Sheridan of the Philadelphia Inquirer writes that the team shouldn't be ruled out as Robert Griffin III could be a fit. "It has been correctly noted that the Eagles' commitment to Michael Vick really ends after the 2012 season," Sheridan writes. "The structure of that contract was one of the reasons many people believed Reid deserved to be back for at least one more season." "Maybe there will be a Luck or a Griffin in the 2013 draft, when the Eagles might have to find their next QB. Maybe not. If the Eagles really believe Griffin is that special talent who can lead a team to a Super Bowl, this is the one and only time to get him," he continued.

Griffin III Proud To Prove He Is As 'Advertised'

Oct 31, 2014 6:10 AM

Robert Griffin III didn't throw a pass at the NFL Combine, but he impressed scouts and analysts nonetheless. "I think I was able to go out there and affirm to the scouts how athletic I am, or impress them even more," Griffin said. "I was able to show people that I am as advertised. I'm a good guy, I like to make people laugh. I can't remember a meeting I didn't go in and we weren't laughing. "You go there and do what you're supposed to do, create a buzz for yourself," he added.
