The Facts:
If there were any doubt in the wake of SI.com insider Peter King's latest Monday Morning Quarterback column (and there shouldn't have been), there's definitely none now. The Rams, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, will trade the No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 draft, which barring something completely unforeseen and unexpected will be used on Baylor QB Robert Griffin III.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Mike Florio suggests, the only remaining question is the "who" and the "how much." The fact that the draft picks are now subject to a genuine rookie wage scale, which drives down the financial cost of using the second overall pick, and could drive the picks-and-players cost even higher. The prime candidates to trade up remain the Browns (No. 4 and 22 overall), the Redskins (No. 6), the Dolphins (No. 8), and the Seahawks (No. 12). King believes there also could be a "mystery team" or two in the mix.
