It’s widely believed that the Colts will pick a quarterback with the 1st choice in the 2012 draft. It’s also widely believed that the Rams will then auction the capability to take the next quarterback with the second choice in the 2012 draft to the highest bidder.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported earlier right now that numerous teams currently have had preliminary discussions with the Rams, that the Rams are willing to trade the pick, and that the Rams likely will end up performing so.

The team that makes the most sense is the Browns, given that they hold the fourth overall choose and the 22nd pick, which they acquired as portion of the Julio Jones trade. And coach Pat Shurmur left the door open to a feasible trade up, telling reporters that the team would not “be hesitant at all” to make a move.

“You evaluate every thing,” Shurmur mentioned, according to the News-Journal. “I wouldn’t say we’re hesitant to do something. We’re excited about the fact that we’re going to make our team better with this draft. That’s the way we method it. We’re not hesitant at all.

“We can just stand pat and take two really fine players, guys that we would hope to be starters for us. Getting two 1st-round picks, you have flexibility if you want to do something.”

Yep. They’re gonna attempt to trade up. Or, as offensive coordinator Brad Childress would say, the concept of trading up isn’t a programmatic non-fit.
