Mock Draft Dream Land

I'm creating Mock Drafts to fill all the holes in the Rams' roster in my sleep! Try as I might, I can't get all of our needs covered without actually selecting RG3. The result being a bidding war with Cleveland, Washington, Miami and even the only mildly interesting draft picks of the Seahawks. Miami won't let go of Jake Long to sweeten the pot and the Skins and Hawks picks in the first round aren't that helpful. The Browns know this and won't get out of control, so the best we can do is Cleveland's #4 and #22 in the first, the Browns' #36 in the second, and their #132 in the fifth. Add their 2nd and 3rd next year and that's a Bill Bellicheat-worthy deal.

We end up with 2 firsts, 2 seconds, 1 in each following round for 2012. Here's what it looks like if the Vikes take either Kalil or Blackmon. My dream scenario is on the left with us getting Blackmon at #4 and my next best is on the right with us getting Kalil at number 4. Either is great--no trade opportunity with the Browns is a disappointment.

#4 J. Blackmon WR Ok. St.............Round 1..........#4 Kalil OT USC

#22 Martin OT Stanford..................Round 1..........#22 Jeffery WR S.Car.

#33 Brown OLB N. Car..................Round 2.......... #33 F. Cox DT Miss St.

#36 Brockers DT LSU................. Round 2..........#36 Barron SS Ala.

#68 Polk RB Wash....................Round 3...........#68 Osemele OG Iowa St

#97 K. Robinson OLB Texas......Round 4...........#97 Pead RB Cinc.

#132 Heyward CB Vandy..............Round 5...........#132 Jenkins WR Illinois

#162 Ellison TE USC..................Round 6...........#162 Fleming OLB Notre Dame

#193 Guy SS Kentucky .............Round 7..........#193 Rainey RB/KR

The dream draft has a lot of stretches in the middle rounds where some players need to fall quite a few slots. But if you notice, there are 3-5 real playmakers on each list. We need 'em.
