It's just a fabrication but what if we have a gentlemans agreement with the Rams for them to pick up Bradford and we pick up a player they would be interested in at our pick. We get stuck with the high cost of a #1 pick, trade Campbell to them for Bradford, and give them the pick they wanted at #4 at a lower cost? I know it sounds far fetched but the Rams have been looking into moving out of the pick, and it was rumored they were interested in Campbell. The only positive spot to get Bradford is at #1 otherwise we don't know what the teams prior to us or our trading team are going to want to do. Plus this gives the Rams two players or basically two picks for the #1 spot. They would get Campbell and whoever they wanted us to draft at #4.

It was also rumored that this might be their HC's last year. Supposedly their front office/ownership was not happy with how their season ended and rumor has it he has next year to turn it around. Why would the HC want to chance his job on a Rookie QB when he could get a proven commodity at a reasonable price in Campbell and a draft pick to fill another hole?

I'm not saying I agree with this or if the trade value is even comparable. I was just wondering if any of you other fans thought of this and or perhaps if those with the resources might want to explore this in regards to trade rumors. We would get the player Shanahan covets, the Rams get a decent QB and a player of another spot they need.

Theres a lot of speculation there, but stranger things have happened.

Believe it or not, I expect Bradfords stock to drop marginally. Clausen or even McCoy may get taken ahead of Bradford.

Fact of the matter is, no one has seen Bradford throw a football since he injured his shoulder and had the surgery. He did not throw at the combine, and it was just announced recently that he will not throw at his pro day at OU. So the jury will still be out on his shoulder going into the draft.

And that can be detremental to where he is selected in April.

As it was pointed out to me yesterday Bradford's showcase day is the 25th.

If he doesn't throw at all before the draft he will definitely drop.
