This improves 3 positions on their OL using one pick; however, I think Washington is going to end up throwing the boat for the #2 overall. I've heard a few scenario's where they are going to give up 1st, 2nd and 3rd picks in this draft as well as 1st and 2nd's next year. That's a deal that you can't pass up!

I haven't played fantasy baseball in a few years but it seems like it will be fun doing it for smokes!

The Rams have said they want a marquis WR to show Bradford off. Someone for people to come out and see. If they trade their pick to the Steelers for Wallace (who they're supposed to be keeping), the Steelers would bring Kalil on, I'd think.
Oh, to have RG3 on the bench behind Ben. That'd be sweet. I can dream for a minute, right?

Yeah, I think it all boils down to how much the Rams love Kalil, and weighing that against whatever offers come their way for a team to draft RGIII. If the Rams do trade out, Kalil for sure goes to the Vikings. Either way, the Vikings are in a pretty good spot (they either get Kalil or get a bounty of picks to move down so a team can draft RGIII). I bet the Browns are loving the fact that they beat the Dolphins 17-16 and the Seahawks 6-3 right about now...

Agreed. No matter what they'll get some of their bigger holes filled. It's tough to feel that LT is as dire of a need as others do, since the holes that they have other places are the size of the Grand Canyon. BUT...I really think that Ponder is going to be a solid QB, one who they have been searching for (in a young QB, not someone ready to be put out to pasture), so Drafting RG3 is not where they would go, IMO. Now if by some act of Dog, Luck falls to them, I would take him and trade Ponder (or keep Ponder as the backup and move Webb to WR). I just haven't watched enough of RG3 to be that high on him (remember that Geno Toretta even won a Heisman, so that award doesn't mean a lot, IMO). And if the best thing to do is to add a potentially elite LT to keep his jersey clean, then they need to do it. As I said before, if that's the case, they definitely need to be a player in the FA scene, as far as WR and DB go. Wallace in Purple? I think he'd make a nice compliment to Harvin. Harvin is a great slot receiver, but having him outside is a waste of his talents, IMO. He's tough over the middle, and will take the punishment. Plus running out of the slot, he's a threat for a handoff when he's in motion. Rudolph (TE) has shown some promise. He seems to have massive hands, and I saw him make several great catches last year. So getting someone on the outside seems to be a spot they really need to address somehow this offseason.

Randy Moss to the Rams.
