Source: Rams to start work on deal
|
The St. Louis Rams and quarterback Sam Bradford's representatives are scheduled to meet Friday in St. Louis, according to a league source.
It is thought to be their first face-to-face meeting since the Rams selected Bradford with the No. 1 overall pick. The two sides spoke before the draft, but could not complete a deal and tabled talks.
Whenever Bradford signs -- and nobody expects him to miss much, if any, training camp -- the deal will include the most guaranteed money in an NFL contract.

NFL Draft Rumors and News Sam Farmer�s NFL mock draft 2.0 To piece together my mock draft version 2.0, I simulated a draft by calling, in order, newspaper writers who cover the first-round teams on a daily basis. Some results were surprising. Center Maurkice Pouncey went earlier than I expected, USC's Taylor Mays and Everson Griffen fell out of the first round and Dez Bryant was the only receiver chosen. Draft Weekend ReviewFox sports is reporting a grade list of all of the NFL teams performance this weekend. The review was done by legendary reporter John Czarnecki. Saints wanted Running BackYahoo sports is reporting that the NO Saints were hoping to draft Ohio State running back Beanie Wells at the end of round one. "We thought we had a pretty good opportunity at a couple of points in the back half of the draft and it ended up not happening," Loomis said. "That's kind of disappointing at the time, but we couldn't be happier than we are right now to have Malcolm on our team." NFL First Round Picks 1 DET Matthew Stafford 2 STL Jason Smith 3 KC Tyson Jackson 4 SEA Aaron Curry 5 NYJ Mark Sanchez 6 CIN Andre Smith 7 OAK Darrius Heyward-Bey 8 JAC Eugene Monroe 9 GNB B.J. Raji 10 SF Michael Crabtree Raji�s talent could be very hard to pass overThe Green Bay Post Gazette is reporting that despite a positive marijuana test Raji’s talent could be very hard to pass over for teams. It is reported that he could slip a few spots due to the fact that if he tests positive again the next few years he would be suspended. Mock 2009 NFL Fantasy DraftYahoo Sports is reporting on how they feel their mock draft will go. In their mock 2009 NFL fantasy draft the Detroit Lions will pick Larry Fitzgerald following by the St. Louis rams choosing Peyton Manning. 2006 Mock Draft (1st Round)Here is a very nice 2006 Mock Draft, I am only putting up the 1st round! 1. Houston Texans -Reggie Bush, RB USC
If the Texans pick up David Carr’s $8 million roster bonus, they’ll either pick Bush or trade down. 3. Tennessee Titans – Vince Young*, QB TexasSteve McNair doesn’t have many years left and Young could use a year or two to improve his game. His upside, however, is unlimited, and he‘s worth a top-ten pick. I could also see the Titans moving down a few spots to gain an extra pick or two. They have a lot of holes to fill. 4. New York Jets – D‘Brickashaw Ferguson, OT VirginiaThe loss of offensive tackle Kareem McKenzie to free agency last year turned out to be a huge one, and Ferguson could anchor the left side for years to come. 5. Green Bay Packers – Mario Williams*, DE North Carolina StateA consistent pass rush would do wonders for the development of their young secondary and Mario Williams is the best defensive end in college football. 6. Oakland Raiders – A.J. Hawk, OLB Ohio StateThe Raiders won’t be tempted by Vanderbilt quarterback Jay Cutler here simply because Al Davis likes Andrew Walter. Look for the Raiders to grab a playmaker on defense in the first round. 7. San Francisco 49ers – Vernon Davis*, TE MarylandThe 49ers have a lot of holes and they could look at a guy like Texas defensive back Michael Huff or Iowa linebacker Chad Greenway. But I feel Davis is a better value and would add another dimension to the 49ers’ offense. 8. Buffalo Bills – Haloti Ngata*, DT OregonThe loss of nose tackle Pat Williams has been devastating for the Bills run defense. Ngata is the top defensive tackle, in my opinion, and he has the tremendous size needed to stuff the run. Manning Drafted #1 By Chargers, Traded To GiantsThe San Diego Chargers selected University of Mississippi standout quarterback Eli Manning with the first overall selection in the 2004 NFL Draft, but then traded him to the New York Giants in exchange for the Giants' first pick this year, Philip Rivers, the Giants' third-round pick this year and the Giants' first and fifth-round choices in 2005.
Also the rest of the 1st round picks and their stories... Best Draft In 20 Years?With the 2004 NFL Draft full of skilled Wide Receivers, this could be one of the best drafts in history at that position.
