Rams report, 4/14

* Quoting an article at NFL.com, the Rams are one of four teams the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports are interested in trading up for the Cleveland Browns' pick at #4. The Plain-Dealer believes there is a decent chance the Browns will trade down. The Eagles are another team with reported interest, which would seem to be for Texas A&M QB Ryan Tannehill, which is more than a little mind-blowing.

The Rams' interest in #4 makes my head hurt enough with the recent rumor that Trent Richardson is the top player on their draft board. Would they not only take a RB with their first pick, but also trade up for one?

Pass the Tylenol. Meanwhile, an unnamed NFL executive claimed earlier this week that half the teams in the top ten are trying to trade out of there.

* More draft headaches, as the Justin Blackmon bandwagon continues to lose momentum in the draftniksphere. Adam Schefter tweets that he "wouldn't be floored" if Michael Floyd is drafted before Blackmon. ESPN blogger / NFL scout Matt Williamson tweets that Blackmon is a very good prospect, but not special. (Kind of a concern I've had, actually.) Compares him to Greg Little. (Now I'm really concerned.)
