It has been suggested in some quarters that the St. Louis Rams could select a defensive tackle with the sixth overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. A wide range of names have been tossed out by mock drafters everywhere.

Anything is possible. As many have pointed out in the Trent Richardson debate, Jeff Fisher has a history of taking running backs in the first round. He also has a history of taking defensive linemen and cornerbacks.

For your afternoon viewing pleasure, I've assembled a package of video scouting reports from the gurus at SBNation Studios for each of the potential defensive tackle picks in the first round.

I haven't seen Dontari Poe mocked to the Rams since an early mock from Don Banks. Here's Poe's scouting report.

Mississippi State's Fletcher Cox is the man of the hour for the defensive tackles, and has been recently mocked to the Rams in several locations.

Michael Brockers and Devon Still are the other two most likely first-round picks, and they haven't gotten as much hype lately for a top-six pick.

We'll look more players later today.
