Browns beat writer Mary Kay Cabot is reporting that the Eagles and Rams are among a couple teams that are interesting in trading up in the draft with the Browns to the number four spot.

Ryan Tannehill is thought to be in demand, being the (likely) third quarterback off the board. But with the Rams interested, there might be other targets as well. Cabot explains.

And it's not just Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill that teams are after. There's been considerable interest in USC offensive tackle Matt Kalil, LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne and Oklahoma State receiver Justin Blackmon.

The Rams and Eagles are attractive trade partners because both have two picks in the second round. The Rams have the 33rd overall pick and the 39th pick from their recent trade with Washington. The Eagles have the No. 46 pick in the second round and the No. 51st pick from their trade with Arizona last year for quarterback Kevin Kolb.

I think the Rams and Eagles would both be after Matt Kalil, should the Vikings pass on him (or trade out of three). Adam Schefter said yesterday he thought the Vikings might pass on Kalil, but I can't see it unless they trade out with someone who wants Tannehill (I'd just like to point out my mock draft, where I mocked such a scenario).
