You know those reports about what will happen at No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4? Throw them out the window.
Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Ravens are actively trying to swing a trade to get to the No. 2 spot, which would put them in front of the Falcons, and allow them to pick Ryan.
And this could prompt the Falcons the try to trade up to No. 2 as well, to prevent the Ravens from doing the deal.
The Rams might prefer the latter option, since it would allow them to still get Chris Long, but at a lower salary slot and with an extra pick or two therafter in two.
As a result, we wonder whether the Rams are the ones pushing the trade talk with Baltimore, in the hopes that they’ll scare the Falcons into moving up.

No self respecting “War Room” guy would ever telegraph their team’s pick two hours before the team picks. Scoop is what it is, but if 2 hours before the draft the media knows who you’re picking, someone “inside” needs to be fired. heh

I love it. Fly rumours fly. This is obviously spin though. I think they are just trying to get someone to take him before 8 thus forcing the player they truly want down.

Flacco or Henneto the Ravens in round 2 look for Clady in round 1.
Also look for the Ravens to trade with Philly a 3 and a 5 for McNabb
