Bill Parcells and the Miami Dolphins have been unable to find a trading partner for the No. 1 pick. But the St. Louis Rams now have options at No. 2. Around the Web The Saints have made inquiries with the Rams about what it would take to go from New Orleans' scheduled 10th overall pick all the way up to St. Louis' at No. 2. Based on the antiquated NFL draft point chart, the Rams pick at No. 2 is worth 2,600 points. The Saints pick at No. 10 is worth 1,300, and their second round pick is worth another 490, meaning New Orleans is going to have to come up with more than its two first-day picks. New Orleans is looking at add a stud defensive player, and it could opt for LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey, a pick that would be enormously popular in that area, or even Ohio State linebacker Vernon Gholston, who would be a terror on the turf in the Superdome. People who have spoken with the Saints insist the talks are not substantiative, more informal, but the fact that one team has pursued moving up is noteworthy. This year, no team has been willing to move up to Miami's spot at No. 1, even New Orleans. The Saints are unwilling to pay what it would take to satisify the Dolphins or the player picked at No. 1. In previous years, teams have declined to move into the top 10 picks. The last time there was any type of blockbuster trade was 2004, when the Chargers and Giants were involved in a trade that featured quarterbacks Philip Rivers and Eli Manning. As interested as the Saints might be in moving up, the Rams are in no rush to relinquish their pick. They recognize that they're going to come away with help for one of their lines -– either Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long or Dorsey. In an upset, the Rams could always opt for the top-rated player on their board -– running back Darren McFadden. But it's up to the Saints -– or any other team that's interested –- to entice the Rams with an offer that is good enough to get them to surrender the No. 2 overall pick. Arms Race Sometime in the first two rounds, Baltimore is expected to draft a quarterback. Its actions this past week show how intent the Ravens are on upgrading the position. Within the past week, the Ravens have hosted visits with Michigan quarterback Chad Henne, Delaware quarterback Joe Flacco, and Louisville quarterback Brian Brohm. As if that weren't enough, the Ravens also privately worked out Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan on Wednesday. Ryan could go No. 3 to Atlanta, No. 5 to Kansas City, No. 6 to the Jets or No. 8 to Baltimore. However, if the Ravens decide they like Ryan enough, they always could try to trade up for him. Remember, in 2003, the Ravens tried to trade up to get former Marshall standout Byron Leftwich and then traded a future pick to draft quarterback Kyle Boller in the first round. This year, the Ravens seem just as intent on landing another quarterback. GOOD READ... link http://www.nfl.com/draft/story;jses...0d5d807cdfd4&template=with-video&confirm=true
