I think we should trade our #30 pick & our #61 picks for the Ram's #33 & #39.
They're several ways we could go with two high second round picks. One scenerio I would do is Alshon Jeffery at #33. I like his size, hands, red zone target, and ability to catch in middle. Or Rueben Randle.
At #39 I would take Kevin Zeitler, it's a position of need. Also he also plays center. Could be out future center. If Zeitler is gone we could pick Aimini Silatolu.
If we don't take a WR early, I think Tommy Streeter, 6-5 4.3-4.4, could still be picked up in the 3rd or 4th. Develop and learn from Moss.

the rams would be stupid to give up 2 top 40 picks to trade up 3 spots

Nice try - I only dislike trade scenarios when it's part of a mock draft, *because* it defeats the purpose of a mock draft.
This isn't very plausible, but it doesn't bother me.
This trade is *totally* uneven and I see no point of the Rams doing it. Math:
Rams picks: 1,090 points
49ers Picks: 912 points
Difference: 178 points, equal to our 3rd and 4th round picks.
So if you proposed the 49ers sending their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round picks to the Rams for their 2 #2s, it would be realistic.
but then you would have to ask yourself: why do the Rams want to trade up three spots?

While I don't think this particular trade is likely, I do like the idea of trying to get two high 2nd round picks. The teams that pick right after #30 (Pats, Giants, Rams, Colts) are not likely to pick a WR then. So we could probably get Randle or Jeffery a few spots later.
Here is another scenario:
Our 1st (#30) for the Colts 2nd (#34) and 4th (#97) - not a totally even trade since the Colts 4th rounder is very high. But they may be looking to leap-frog the Giants here to pick Peter Kontz. We could throw in a 6th rounder to sweeten the deal.
Then trade our 2nd (#62), our 3rd (#94) and the Colts 4th (#97) to someone picking in the #36-38 range.
That would leave us picking at #34, #37ish, and our original 4th, 5th, and 7th round positions.

Why would STL trade with us, and why would we help the Rams out? Sorry makes no sense.

I am all for trading back if you know you can get the guy you want with that pick. I don't care if its just for an extra 7th rounder more picks mean more trading flexibility. The scenario you suggest I don't see any team doing that trade especially a team with in there own division.

I am for trading back but with all the competition we are loading up on the depth chart as of now it would not surprise me if we traded a pick to move up in the draft to draft an impact player on offense.

With a full D returning, I see trading up to get an immediate contributor more likely.
