I know it can be difficult to move out of the first couple of picks, but there’s already chatter about several teams looking to move into the spot. Andrew Luck is likely going first overall to Indianapolis, but Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III is a hot commodity. The Cleveland Browns appear to be very interested in Griffin, and they are the ideal trading partner because they have two first-round picks.

The Rams obviously have plenty of holes to fill, so picking up extra picks would be outstanding. Also, if they love WR Justin Blackmon as much as I do, moving down a few spots makes a ton of sense because second might be a little high to take a receiver. If the Rams could get Blackmon and some extra picks out of this draft, it would be a perfect start to the Jeff Fisher regime. I think there will be numerous potential trade partners as long as RG3 doesn’t do anything to hurt his value between now and then, but the Rams need to work on Cleveland to get the best possible deal.

Now I’m not going to say that Lloyd is going to turn this whole thing around and that we are playoff bound now, but how can you not like this move? We get a guy who led the league in receiving last season under Josh McDaniels, and we gave up a meaningless (for the Rams with the way they draft, at least) late pick to get him. It’s a no-lose scenario. If he comes in and doesn’t do anything, we lost a low-value pick. If he comes in and does a great job, we lose a fifth-round pick instead (the condition is 30 receptions for the rest of the season) but it will be undoubtedly worth it. He knows the offense already, and he probably knows it better than most of the guys already on the team. Again, let’s not get crazy about it, but Rams fans have to be happy not only with the deal, but with the fact that the front office has not mailed it in yet and are still trying to improve.
