Brian Hays: What's the chance on Rams making a trade with the troubled Cleveland Browns for Cribbs and Shaun Rogers? Give up Carriker, Burton, Vaboda,and 3rd round and 7th round pick of 2010 draft.
Jim Thomas: Too much to give up, IMO.
John: Did Dane Looker sign anywhere? If not, do you think he'll be a Ram next year?

How has the RB we drafted been doing so far this offseason? Do you think he could be our #2 guy over Pittman or Darby?

Thanks.
Jim Thomas: Looker hasn't signed anywhere. I really thought the Rams would bring him back, given their youth and lack of personnel at WR, but they apparently aren't interested. Draftee Brooks Foster has been assigned Looker's No. 89.
Ogbonnaya hasn't really done anything to stand out. It's early, obviously, but I doubt whether he'll wind up as the No. 2 back. I'm betting that guy isn't on the current roster.
F. Mulder: Do you think the Rams will pick up another LBer and possibly RB before preseason? I could see them trying to get by with their RB depth but at LB they are very thin.
Jim Thomas: Yes, to both questions, although I'm not sure about the "before preseason" part. Might happen later in camp.
firemarshall: Is there any interest for Kassim Osgood?

He could fill two huge needs with being a pro bowl return man and a big target for Bulger (6'5/220lbs).

A 5th or 6th rounder wouldn't be a bad trade IMO.
Jim Thomas: Good special-teams player, but Osgood never has done much as a receiver. So, I doubt whether it'd be a good fit for the Rams.
radjohns: How serious was the Rams interest in the the newest Cleveland Brown, Rod Hood? Do you know what the nature of their reported offer was? Can this be interpreted as the Rams being unhappy with the current state of their secondary, or is this just a case of the Rams trying to add depth where ever they can?
Jim Thomas: Their interest was serious, but they weren't going to overpay for him. Like all coaches, Spags wants as much competition as possible at every position. Hood might have challenged Hill, et al, for the other CB spot.
