The source who told us to mock Alec Ogletree and a receiver to the Rams last year informed us about a month ago that the team was "falling in love" with Khalil Mack and was strongly considering him at No. 2 overall. That was the case, but the pre-draft process is very fluid. We've learned what has been circulated throughout the media in the past few days - that the Rams will be going with Greg Robinson if they can't trade down.
Jeff Fisher has always waited on tackles, but Robinson is viewed as such a mega talent that the Rams are excited to have him on the team. Besides, protecting the fragile Sam Bradford is paramount.
Oh, and by the way, enter our NFL Mock Draft Contest. It's FREE entry and winner gets $350. There's no reason not to enter.
*** OTHER 2014 NFL DRAFT POSSIBILITIES: ***
1. Trade Down - I wouldn't buy into the Johnny Manziel scuttlebutt. It's all a ruse to get the Browns to trade up. It may work though, just as it did when the Vikings pretended to like Morris Claiborne over Matt Kalil, prompting Cleveland to move up for Trent Richardson.
2. Jake Matthews, OT - The Rams also like Matthews a lot, but Robinson is viewed as the superior prospect.
Pick change; previously Khalil Mack, DE/OLB
