Re: the rams are now on the clock.........

thought they were looking into it since this is the first time a #1 has been picked so early. I say NEXT

Re: the rams are now on the clock.........

I totally hate the NFL ruling that the Rams cannot negotiate with any player. Since Miami already has their selection done, why the heck not? I agree with you Hagan, I say next too! It's brutal enough to watch the draft, why not move it along. Heck, at least the NFL did the right thing by cutting down the selection times in the 1st and 2nd rounds.

Re: the rams are now on the clock.........

the only thing i dont like about it is that if that continues eventually the draft will be worthless.....whats the point of having a draft if the teams can sign who they want before hand....i like the draft because its intense...even though at some times it seems long and drawn out....i think it is very exciting to watch

thats probably why they said no to the rams.. dont want the top of the draft to be anticlimatic

Pak it never will. way to many rounds for that. Besides with the time down to 10 minutes a pick it would allow teams not to waste time talking trades when there is no reason to talk them except for smoke screens. Lets move on and simplify the process or just go ahead and not allow any pick to be signed at all.

And it would also cut down on about half of the recent posts in the forum.
<Loomis also said any sort of trade probably wouldn't occur until draft day. Then he was later pressed about refuting any reports that have been floating around and Loomis sidestepped that issue as well.>
