Pebs, I know you're an AJ Green guy, but we all know he won't be available at pick 14.

Out of curiosity, assuming the Rams are neither able to move up nor down, who do you like at that spot that has a real chance of being there?

If Fairley falls, him. If he doesn't but Bowers does, him. If neither falls but Amukamara is there, him.

If nobody falls to us, Liuget wouldn't be the end of the world. Just feels like a need pick.

I can get on board with that. Though I also like Akeem Ayers a bit more than where he's projected to go.

How about the Rams trade their #1 for Albert Haynesworth?

Serious question:

What would it take to trade up to #1? The Panthers don't seem to want Gabbert/Newton at #1, Kiper's even suggested they take AJ Green there to help Claussen instead of going after another QB. Is Green worth trading up for that #1?

No. No. No. No.

There was only one yes/no question there. So I'm not sure what the first 3 are referring to?

You wouldn't have to move up to #1 to get Green. If Carolina is really leaning toward Newton, then Cincinnati's the first place I could see going for him. You could trade to 3 if you wanted him, although I think Denver is more likely to trade down than Buffalo.

I think you can land Green by trading up to #4, and the rumors are that Cinci wants to trade down into the Rams' range. The price would be too high though, probably next year's first rounder and a late-round pick.

I'm certain that the Broncos would be willing to trade down, but I doubt if they'd want to trade down as low as the Rams' pick.
