"With the Broncos dangling receiver Brandon Lloyd and the trade deadline coming in less than 72 hours, there's talk in league circles that the Rams could make a play for the veteran wideout.

Making such a deal make sense is the fact that the Rams don't have much at the receiver position. Making such a deal seem like a stretch is the reality that trading for Lloyd won't do much to keep the 0-4 Rams from sliding to 0-7 over the next 15 days, via games against the Packers, Cowboys, and Saints.

But here's where Lloyd could make a difference. Once the schedule softens, Lloyd could help the offense score points, which could help the Rams win enough games to avoid a postseason housecleaning."
