Many people believe Justin Blackmon could be the selection here for St. Louis -- and for good reason. Sam Bradford hasn't had a lot to throw to in his couple years with the Rams. Fletcher Cox is the top defensive tackle in this year's draft, however, and his ability to penetrate and get into the backfield makes him a particularly dominant and disruptive force up the middle. With Chris Long and Robert Quinn book-ending the defensive line, it's time for the Rams to anchor it down. Cox has been gaining steam and looks to be a sure-fire top ten selection on Thursday. The value is there, and although it's not the sexiest pick, it may prove to be the smartest pick for the Rams.
