At what point would you Trade Up to get Jimmy Clausen?

Then when they say no, you just go bash some heads? Show em how its done!

You think they would turn that trade down? I think the league would drug test our front office if we offered that....

It would be the 4th pick, Carter, and Campbell for the 1st pick, right?

They'd only do that if they thought Campbell had more future value than Bradford, in which case, they were never going to pick him to begin with, and we just screwed ourselves.

Actually the Rams may do that so that:
a) they don't have to pay the ridiculous money a QB drafted at #1 makes, and
b) if they are comfortable with JC as their starting QB and they want to focus their roster-building elsewhere, they get a their starting QB, a DE with short-term potential value, and they still have the #4 overall pick.

Sounds good to me.

Ok maybe not force them to take whoever we decide to give them but they do have a need for a decent QB and the lot of you seem to think JC is 1st round talent so that must mean he's decent enough. They also have need on the DL. We could debate giving them AH but then I'd think they would owe us something. The Rams were trying to get out of the spot looking into trade scenarios so why not explore what they want? Not saying it has to go down but simply ask what they would be willing to take in return with out throwing in a bunch of draft picks.

Obviously you don't want to do it too soon cause then other teams will have time to out bid you if they think about it long enough. So I presume we wait till draft day and talk trade. Throw in a steak dinner, some female escorts, all will be well.
