2012 NFL Mock Draft: Sam Bradford The Big Winner In New Scenario

Stay connected for news and updates

The National Football Post rolled out their latest 2012 NFL mock draft this week. Analyst Wes Bunting puts a familiar name in the sixth spot for the St. Louis Rams.

Bunting's pick is Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon, a common pick for the Rams in a number of mock drafts, as you can see from the endless string of mock draft links in this stream.

Here is Bunting's take:

Getting a big-play receiver for quarterback Sam Bradford is almost a must at this point. Blackmon can line up all over the offense and has the skill set to produce as a rookie.

The Rams signed free agent receiver Steve Smith, recently of the Eagles, in March to a so-called "prove it" deal, giving the oft-injured receiver a chance to bounce back in St. Louis. Adding Blackmon would represent a definite upgrade to the offense, but many question the prospect's ceiling and whether or not it justifies the sixth pick in a deep group of receivers.
