After the RGIII trade all trade ups into the top ten have cost a 2nd round pick in addition to swapping 1st. Could that price go up with high demand? Sure. Could a team like Tennessee or Jacksonville be hyping up these QBs to drum up the value of their pick? Absolutely.
I honestly have no clue what Snisher will do and I have to commend them because that is exactly what they want. Do they actually believe all that stuff they say about Keenum and QBs in general? Who knows. These guys are really hard to predict in the draft because they have done a bit of everything. They have traded up for guys they really covet like Tavon and Joyner, stood pat and took the BPA Gurley or Donald, and moved down when there are several guys at a position of need they like ie. Havenstein or Brockers.
When you consider all these things the two most likely options are stand pat BPA like the last two drafts or move up because they covet Wentz and Goff the only two franchise QBs. I am leaning towards the trade up option. One big reason they haven't gone after a vet QB is no FA available is a clear upgrade over Keenum, and certainly not at the current market value for FA QBs. Additionally, they like Mannion and made him the first 2nd tier QB selected last daft. Are they going to dive into the second tier again and grab a guy who is year behind Mannion development wise and in the same tier? Doubtful with these guys. To me that leaves one option if they want to upgrade the QB position, a first tier draft prospect like Wentz or Goff. The Rams have had little media connection to either guy (was Snead, Fisher, Weinke, Groh, or Boras at Goff's Pro Day?). Are they keeping their interest on the down low like they did with Todd Gurley? We can only hope.
