PFW mock draft

Version 2.0 of the Pro Football Weekly mock draft, by Nolan Nawrocki, is out. And let's just say it's not what you might expect for a certain team. With Justin Blackmon still on the board, Nawrocki says the Rams should take Mississippi State defensive tackle Fletcher Cox. As good as Cox may be, good luck getting that idea past the season ticket holders. Nawrocki had Cleveland taking Morris Claiborne, also a bit of a curve ball, with Trent Richardson going to Tampa.

Rest assured that RamView is taking Blackmon in Nawrocki's current scenario. Pick #33 would almost have to be Michael Brockers given the Rams' gaping hole at DT right now. Also considering Zach Brown, Doug Martin and Whitney Mercilus.

However, Brockers' stock plummeted from top 10 to out of the first round after the Combine. He showed a complete lack of explosiveness, had the worst shuttle times and interviewed poorly.

Lots of research left to do for this here draftnik, that's for sure.
