Draft notes: Ravens trying hard to swing trade
The St. Louis Rams will select Virginia defensive end Chris Long with the second pick of the draft if they are not blown away by a trade offer, team sources told FOXSports.com.
That trade offer may come from the Baltimore Ravens, who are trying hard to swing a deal with the Rams so they can move up to No. 2 and select Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan, according to sources.
Also, Falcons sources said that they will select Matt Ryan in the No. 3 spot, should he still be available. Injury concerns with Glenn Dorsey turned Atlanta away from the LSU defensive tackle.
FOXSports.com has also learned the New Orleans Saints have been in talks with the Raiders and Chiefs among others to trade up in an effort to land Dorsey. They are not offering a player, only draft picks to make the move.
The Jets, who had Chris Long as their top-rated player, now have their sights on Darren McFadden, if he's still on the board at No. 6. And the Chiefs, who also had Chris Long as their selection, are now looking to move out of the No. 5 spot.

The Saints SUCK. They are owned by a USED CAR SALESMAN, who has mis-managed the organization from day one. But I love having the team in the city. Win or lose, it just a game.

I'll say it once more for all you inbreds, also known as Seahawk fans. <br /><br />If you think the NFL is rigging the superbowl then you need to quit watching the NFL and tell your team to leave town, cause if they are rigging the superbowl they will NEVER rig it so a team from Seattle will win it.<br /><br />Crybabies!

Ok enough about what you think the Steelers were "given". If you know anything about the sport of football you should know that Pittsburgh has been "given" more letters of "apologies" than any other NFL team period for the mistakes of the "refs". That said look at your teams fingers and count the rings......we see "5" on our teams hand.

None of the recievers in the first few rounds of this draft are all that impressive.It wouldnt shock me to no receiver go in the first round.
