BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns have kicked around the possibility of drafting a quarterback in next week's NFL draft. Maybe the best one.

General manager Tom Heckert said Thursday that the team has talked to the St. Louis Rams about a trade that would get Cleveland the No. 1 overall pick, a selection the Browns would use to take Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford.

The Browns currently own the No. 7 pick and have five of the first 92 selections, so it's realistic they could put together an attractive package to entice the Rams into making a deal.

"We've actually played a little phone tag," Heckert said. "We've talked to them throughout the process and have been at workouts with the Rams people and kind of mentioned stuff to them. Just talks. We've talked to all the teams ahead of us and all the teams immediately behind us."

Cleveland would likely have to part with a pair of first-round picks -- this year's and next's -- plus one or two more high-round picks to satisfy the Rams, who need a quarterback after releasing Marc Bulger earlier this month. The Browns aren't desperate for a quarterback after signing free agent Jake Delhomme in March and acquiring backup Seneca Wallace from Seattle.

They need to develop the QB of the future. But the Browns' other needs are deep. Is Bradford worth the price?
