Justin Blackmon officially announces he's going pro. The rams should jump all over him. Bradford would be happy.
 
Yea I can see that too. Guy simply could transform a team like the Rams. That team is pretty good except they have no weapons on Offense. Add Blackmon and maybe somehow get a TE as well and that offense could actually be dangerous. As a bonus they could sign a WR, maybe like a Manningham or something.

If they draft Blackmon and get a TE they only need an oline, a d line some lbers and a secondary.. Other than that they'll be in great shape.
 
Yeah does bradford get sacked more than anyone? Lol. Go Oline before Wr. Seems like there's a lot of talented ones this year.
 
I'm not a big fan of Desean Jackson but I'm thinking Bradford would jizz himself if they got Blackmon and Desean. From what I recall they have the cap room, although Jackson will probably want a lot more money than he's worth

Kendricks will get another year at TE...he was a 2nd round pick...As for OLINE they may look OG , Saffold and Smith are set at OT and they gave Brown a big contract to play OC.
 
They have Jacob Bell too, I think their Oline was getting blitzed constantly. Not like teams needed to keep a safety over the top against those WRs.
 
The Rams are sitting pretty. What they need is RG3 to blow up and have teams offering the house to move up to #2.

Blackmon is a beast, but I'd be tempted to take Michael Floyd ahead of him. They are the exact same speed (4.54), but Floyd is 2" taller and 10lbs heavier at 6'3" and 225lbs.

Michael Floyd has off field issues.. And seems to underachieve given his talent level.. I probably would take Alshon Jeffery over both those.. Huge receiver..

Wasn't sure if he was coming out or not, but he'd be a good choice too. I've seen him mocked/ranked as high as top 5 and as low as late 2nd round.

Blackmon seems to be a concesus top 10 pick. Floyd is a bit lower 1st rounder in most mocks/rankings I've seen, but usually top 20. The next two are usually the kid from Baylor, Wright, and the kid from Rutgers, Sanu, who are end of the 1st round. Wright is small and fast. Sanu is a bigger WR and sizewise is between Blackmon and Floyd, I believe. There's also Randle from LSU who is pretty tall (6'3"?), but I don't think he's nearly as heavy.
 
stl will trade down for someone who jumps up to get RG3. TB nabs blackmon at 5.
 
the more guys like him leave early, the better chance BPA is an OL or DB for Lions!
