Who Dat News: St. Louis will not trade back

News: The St. Louis Rams have all but ruled out a trade-down scenario with the New Orleans Saints because they do not want to move all the way down to No. 10, according to fanball.com.

WhoDatSay:
The website listed ESPN as the source, but did not say who reported the news. While we still think a trade with St. Louis is still a possibility, it remains an unlikely one. St. Louis drafted Adam Carriker last year and plan to move him inside as he's up over 300lbs now. That move mostly likely means the Rams are targeting Chris Long or Vernon Gholston. St. Louis' defensive ends combined for just 5 sacks last season and the team would benefit from a premier outside pass rusher. If they were to move back to #10 overall, they would take themselves out of the running for Long or Gholston. As such, they are most likely to stay where they are. That said, the Saints will turn their attention to picks 3-5 depending where (and if) Dorsey falls.
