NFL Draft countdown from Rams Park Live
As the draft nears, it looks more and more like the Rams won't get a compelling offer for the second overall pick in the NFL Draft.
So if pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney goes No. 1 to the Texans, the Rams seem likely to take offensive tackle Greg Robinson No. 2.
Rams beat reporter Jim Thomas notes that Atlanta now is looking to trade down from No. 6 than up from that slot. Another report had the Falcons looking to move up to No. 4 if linebacker Khalil Mack is still there.
As Thomas also noted, perhaps a trade out of the No. 13 slot is more likely for the Rams. That would give the team a chance to add extra picks in the second and/or third day of this very deep draft.
Everybody is still waiting on the Texans to make their Big Decision. Perhaps a quarterback trade may eliminate the Johnny Manziel chatter once and for all and help define their path
Anyway, here is the latest scuttlebutt via Twitter:

Jeff Fisher just on with NFL Network, says phone is starting to ring a little more as draft gets closer. To be expected. #STLPick

Fisher on NFL Network says No. 13 pick is where Rams "are gonna have some fun."

Fisher also said there are "four to six" players #Rams feel good about at No. 2. That's down from 6-8 on Tuesday. #STLPick

FIsher also says if Clowney was there at No. 2 overall: "We wouldn't complain."

Best info at the moment is that Clowney, Robinson, Mack will go 1-2-3 tonight to Texans, Rams, Jags. Presume Watkins to Cleveland after that

When I talked to Greg Robinson he really perked up when talking about the #Rams & the connection he felt w/ Rams Oline coach Paul Boudreau.

I spoke w/ Greg Robinson for about 40m a couple days ago. Very humble & gracious. Told me, "I think I have a very good shot at being a Ram"

Food for thought. At Rams pre-draft event, team personnel held a mock draft for fans. Rams had Khalil Mack going to Houston at No. 1 and . .

. . .and Jadeveon Clowney to the Rams at No. 2 overall. (There were a few groans in the crowd of 2,000 when the Clowney pick was announced.)

If the Rams don't take Clowney or Robinson -- whoever is there -- I will be astounded.

For the record, I still think it's unlikely the #Rams will find a trade partner at 2 with Clowney likely gone.

Rumors, rumors, rumors. Rams have deal in place with Falcons if Clowney's there at No. 2? Quickly shot down in Earth City.

We’ve talked about #Falcons possibly trading for No. 1. Appears more likely they trade for No. 4 with #Browns if Khalil Mack is available

#Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff tells @RichOnSports it's "highly unlikely" that Falcons will trade up to 1. My take: Focus in on No. 4.

Some believe if Clowney goes 1, Rams best trade options would be DET or BUF. Doubt that barring huge offer, STL would move that far down.

Jadeveon Clowney is off my Big Board. Not a first-round pick. Buyer beware. You gotta love the game to play in the defensive trenches.

You can hide , loaf and take plays off at receiver. Not on the defensive line. Clowney is high risk.

Houston is now locked in on its player and is not expecting a trade, per sources. Texans happy to sit at 1 and take player it wants.

From what I am gathering, Pats don't have anything going with the Texans on Mallett right now. We shall see

There is no deal between the Patriots and the Texans for Ryan Mallett. But the interest from Houston and Bill O’Brien is real. #Staytuned

Ryan Mallett would be a good civic pickup for the Texans. There aren't very many statues in Houston.

One QB who might still be dealt this weekend is Skins backup Kirk Cousins. Browns were willing to deal midround pick for him.

In two years w/Fisher and Snead in charge, expect the unexpected. It would be a surprise if Fisher-Snead didn't have a surprise tonight.

Should the Rams draft WR Sammy Watkins and then trade up from 13 to get one of the offensive tackles if they can??

For those hoping Rams don't go with an OT at #STLPick No. 2, there's still the long track record of Jeff Fisher not taking one in the first.

Fisher has made 17 1st-round picks in his career w/o drafting an OL, the most in the NFL since 1967. Next highest is Steve Mariucci with 11.

I don't get why people don't believe the Rams believe in Bradford. They feel he played his best before getting hurt last year.

Look. Only 1 of 32 teams wins the Super Bowl. It's unlikely. So who would you take No. 1 if you just want to hang out and have some laughs?

One scout on Draft Day: "I really should have gone into loan sharking. Way more dignified, and probably closer to being morally defensible."

You know who no one is talking about today? Derek Carr...so he's probably the one to watch.

3 guys "everyone" likes but I'll be surprised if they go in the 1st round, from what I hear:
Derek Carr
Kelvin Benjamin

There's a WR-needy team in Top 10 that has a higher grade on Mike Evans than Sammy Watkins. Doesn't mean it takes him over Watkins, but...

This year could be the first draft in the Common Draft Era (since 1967) with no RBs drafted in the top 40.
