Several of the teams reportedly interested in Manning were also expected to be in on the bidding for Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III, particularly the Washington Redskins.

The Browns (No.4) and Redskins (No. 6) are believed to be the frontrunners to trade up with the Rams at No. 2 to draft Griffin III.

If the Redskins sign Manning, the Browns would have a much better chance of pulling off the trade with St. Louis, which has had talks with multiple teams, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

According to nfl.com's Jason LaCanfora, the teams most interested in Manning include the Cardinals, Dolphins, Jets, Seahawks and Redskins.

It remains to be seen if the Browns will pursue Manning, but he's expected to choose a contender with a lot of weapons, his former coach Tony Dungy told NFL Network today.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has been reporting that the Rams would like to have a deal in place for the No. 2 pick by the time free agency starts Mar. 13 at 4 p.m.

The Browns are the team best situated to trade up for the right to select Griffin. They possess an extra 1st rounder (#22 overall) and 4th rounder resulting from their draft day trade with Atlanta in 2011. Although the Browns are said to be uwilling to part with #22 at this point, this model has Cleveland giving up the #22 pick, and well as their additional 4th rounder (#118). Additional compensation not relevant to this 2012 draft simulation may or may not also be involved.
