Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Dispatch, citing a league source, reports that the Rams informed QB Sam Bradford of the plans to leak interest in Johnny Manziel as a smokescreen before the fact.
Rams HC Jeff Fisher announced Wednesday that: “Sam’s our guy.”
This announcement came with Bradford was standing right next to Fisher, so it’s clear that the Rams are not looking for someone to challenge him for the starting job next year.
According to Thomas, there is still a chance they could come away from the draft with a quarterback, but it’s unlikely they will select someone in either the first or second rounds.
Even though the draft is just hours away, it still hard to pin point where Manziel will ultimately end up. There probably has been the most buzz regarding the Buccaneers taking him at No. 7, but he could fall a ways if he gets by Minnesota.
It’s expected that the Rams will come away with one of the top-two offensive tackles.
