Mike: I recently read the article titled "What's a draft pick worth?" and noticed that the #2 pick would qualify the Rams for the #6 and #10 pick. If the Rams were given this opportunity, I would jump all over that. You would get 2 starters out of that. I am assuming this wouldn't occur in the same draft since the team they would trade with would not have 2 picks in the top 10. I guess we would get their first round pick next year and if points are still not enough, throw in another 2nd or 3rd to make it work? What are your thoughts and am i right using this approach? If so, would you jump at this if you were the Rams?
Jim Thomas: I didn't do the chart, but actually the math was wrong on it. A No. 6 and No. 10 pick adds up to 2,900 points; or 300 more than the point value for No. 2 (2,600). Actually a No. 6 and a No. 16 would add up to 2,600 points.
With that I have to go. I know the chat is a little bit shorter today, but I've got to get back in the draft bunker. Talk to you next Tuesday.
