I just thought of something else that I forgot to mention in the OP - All trades must be approved by me. As long as they are reasonable, then anything goes. Don't expect to trade Brandon Marshall for a 2019 1st round pick or anything insane like that.

I'd be up for this again. As the Pats have gone, I'll take one of the other AFC East teams. I don't mind which, so how about I take Miami, and if someone else really wants to take 'em, I'd be happy to switch to the Bills or Jets.

I've got you as GM for the Dolphins.

I follow Buffalo reasonably closely, so if you want to give me them as a #2, that'd be fine. I know there are a few Bills fans around here, so I'm fine with abdicating that position if someone else wants it. Not sure too many people want to be running the Bills, though!
So what does everything think that the Rams are going to do with the 1st pick? I would be VERY surprised if it's not Sam Bradford. Reports came out late in the season that the Rams *wanted* to take Sanchez at #2 last year, but were afraid that was too high for him and they would just get crucified by the media and their fans.
Suh is going to be damn tempting, but just as was the case with the Lions last year... if you don't have a franchise quarterback and you have a chance to take one in the draft - you do it. Barring any kind of medical setback from Bradford's shoulder injury, or possibly a trade for someone like Michael Vick, I think Bradford to the Rams is a no-brainer.
What the Lions will do with the #2 pick largely depends on their decision about Anthony Hargrove. They brought him in for a visit and really like him. He has a 3rd round tender, so if they make him and offer sheet, the Saints don't match and they give up a 3rd to get him, they almost certainly will be looking to either trade down or will take someone like Okung over Suh/McCoy.
If nothing happens with Hargrove, though, I would be VERY surprised if Suh isn't the pick. The only hitch I can think of with Suh is his agent(s). They're a major pain in the ass to deal with. Remember the whole Michael Crabtree incident that the 49'ers went through last year? Yup... Suh has the same agent.

Agree, for the Rams it has to be Bradford. Bulger's likely gone, too much money, too brittle, and he hasn't produced for three years. They do have AJ Feeley (also getting old). Feeley should be able to hold down the fort for a year while Bradford gets acclimated. They gave up a lot of sacks last year; they really need to rebuild the o-line before tossing a young guy back there, and the presence of Feeley should let them do that. They've also got to rebuild the rushing attack; they only had four rushing touchdowns as a team all year.
But, having Feeley there means that they aren't in quite as desparate position, QB-wise, as the Lions were twelve months ago. They should be able to take him, address some of these other needs elsewhere in the draft/free agency, and let him develop for most of the season. He shouldn't be needed to start on day one, which we all know is a very dangerous thing to do with a young QB.
