The Rams would have serious problems trying to trade Bradford. No team is going to like being saddled with the mega pay package for a yet-unproven QB.

Very doubtful in my opinion. I can see the Colts winning maybe two games. The Rams probably will win at least 3 or 4. Even if both teams finish with the same record, the Rams will probably will have had the harder schedule, and will pick later because of it (logic being, you suck more if you lose to worse competition, so you pick earlier).

I think the smart move would be to take Luck and trade Bradford but I hope they trade the pick. I don't want any division rivals getting Andrew Luck.

How about Miami OTC? They look pretty good in the awful stakes. Not a bad D, but they are just @@@@

i think luck will be better than bradford but bradford has been going through hell in stl, no oline and no playmakers. i dont care who you are luck will struggle big time if he was put in bradford's position. we mustve forgotten the good glimpses bradford showed his rookie yr, the rams would be better off taking blackmon and take oline until they finally hit with legit offensive tackles and guards. bradford has to go through stupid over his head mcdaniels offense and get hit every passing play which will kill his confidence if it continues.

They trade Bradford if they're smart. If they're dumb they trade Luck.

Non issue...the Dolphins will end up with the first pick, however if the Rams get the first pick I'm sure a rack of teams will be lining up to trade up to that spot...If i was the Rams..you take the best deal you can and run with it...people say Bradford is unproven but at least he has some yrs of experience and has shown promise...Luck is still a ?? regardless of what you believe...it's still not a given he will be successful in the NFL..Analyst have been wrong before...plus in a sport such as football all it takes is one play for your career to go bye bye.....Personally i feel he will be a hit but as i've stated it's still an unknown..
...I would try to get a Herschel Walker type deal for that number 1 pick if i were the Rams....like switch picks in the first round..2 future 1's, 3 future 2's etc etc.....

I would draft Luck and then dangle him in front of a QB starved team for draft picks and a solid player

Id draft luck, let him sit next season behind bradford (bradfords last chance to see what he has) then Trade bradford the next year.

Conventional wisdom says they trade the pick and try to fill all the other glaring needs that they have (OL, WR, CB, DL, etc). Remember, Bradford was the last of the bonus babies and they invested $55 million in him as the top pick. Whomever is coaching and running this team at the end of this year cannot escape that fact.

The Rams would absolutely trade Bradford and draft Luck imo.
