Former Oklahoma St. WR Justin Blackmon was at the top of most Rams fans lists heading into the 2012 NFL Draft, but the Jacksonville Jaguars traded in front of the Rams to pick him up. As bad as that seemed at the time, it looks like it could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Blackmon was arrested in Stillwater, Oklahoma on Sunday morning for aggravated DUI, his second DUI arrest. Blackmon reportedly blew 0.24 on the breathalyzer after being pulled over for driving 60 mph in a 35 mph zone.

I was one of the biggest Blackmon supporters out there heading into the draft, but this is bad. I like to party as much as the next guy, unless of course that next guy is Blackmon. 0.24 is absolutely insane. If this was his first mistake with alcohol, it would be a different story, but it’s his second and could point to a problem. I still think he can be a great NFL receiver, but he obviously has some issues. Maybe the Michael Brockers pick isn’t looking so bad now?

With the draft just a few days away, I think it’s time to start locking in my predictions for what the Rams will do. I was thinking about doing another full first round mock, but since this is a Rams fan site I thought we’d focus on the team. In the next few days I will be making my picks for each of the Rams’ selections. Since I obviously don’t know who will be available, these picks will be based on where guys are projected to go and based on a compilation of mocks I have been reviewing. It’s safe to say that most of the players I pick will not end up being Rams, but this is just a best-case scenario from my point of view.

Let’s start at the beginning then, shall we? With the sixth pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the St. Louis Rams select Justin Blackmon, WR Oklahoma St.

No shocker here. I have been on the Blackmon bandwagon since last year’s draft, so no point in changing now. He is a dynamic playmaker who should be able to step in and make a difference right away. The Rams need a receiver, and this guy has been one of the best in college football over the last two seasons. He’s got great hands, he’s very good after the catch, and he just makes plays. Blackmon will be a great addition to the offense and is the perfect weapon for Sam Bradford.

We discussed pre-draft visits a little yesterday, but the visits officially got started today as the Rams welcomed four players to town. Today’s group featured a nice variety of positions, and all of the players are intriguing prospects. The players involved were Oklahoma St. WR Justin Blackmon, Ohio St. OL Mike Adams, Mississippi St. DT Fletcher Cox and North Alabama CB Janoris Jenkins.

I think we’ve already spent plenty of time talking about Blackmon, so let’s move on to the others. Adams is a guy who has had some issues and a guy who I really wasn’t impressed with at the combine. However, he is talented and numerous scouts believe his size and athleticism are quality NFL attributes. I have seen a couple of mock drafts that have Adams going to the Rams in the second round, and I think he would be a decent value there.

Speaking of mock drafts, I have seen a couple that have Cox going to St. Louis at sixth. I don’t think that’s realistic, but he is a real option if we move back. Cox would be a great fit.

Jenkins is one of the most interesting prospects in the draft. He is supremely talented, but his list of off-field issues is a mile long. He has numerous drug arrests, a failed drug test, an arrest from a bar fight, and he’s got four children from three different women. Still, he seems to be climbing up draft boards. I think he will go the the late first round if he stays clean before the draft, but if he would fall to the second he might be too good to pass up.
