Turf Show Times CBSSports Mocks: Jones to Rams

I almost can't believe it, considering Jones is ranked a borderline top-5 talent on some draft boards - but here are two recent mocks, both with Julio Jones going to the Rams:

Chad Reuter's latest...

and Rob Rang's

It's tough to believe Peterson is a lock to go in the top 2 - I don't know many teams that would get excited about drafting a CB that high.  But he's an elite talent.

They're projecting Gabbert to fall no further than 7, to the 49ers (making Mizzou/Rams fans weep).  I don't see Gabbert going to the Bills - Fitzpatrick showed flashes of being a legit QB last year, and I think they'll give him another shot.

Jones falling is in large part contingent on the QB reaches in the top 12 - so pray with all your might that Gabbert, Newton, Mallett blow the doors off at the combine.  If the QB's can seduce their way up there, we're the primary benefactors, as one of the elite WR's or defensive talents is almost certain to fall to us.

Viva El Birdos Springer Activated; Washington Optioned, per Post-Dispatch

Here's the link:

From Joe Strauss

Very interesting note about the Phillies (and others) watching Reyes as well as the Braves/Thompson...

I think moving Washington in the meantime was the right move; great story, and hope this isn't the end for Uncle Rico. 

Thus the Reyes/Thompson dilemma is delayed another few days, while we hopefully watch Brendan Ryan force his way onto the big club...

Anyone else think a Thompson trade is looking like the highest likelihood at this moment in time?
