Nick's "4 Options in 4 Days" Two-Round NFL Mock Draft (Option 3: RB Trent Richardson)

[Nick]

Tuesday is Day Three of the Four Mocks in Four Days Challenge, in which I try to present four different scenarios that Rams fans may see on draft day. In the first mock, the Rams selected Mississippi State defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, a hot name for the Rams among some recent projections. Yesterday’s second installment saw LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne head the Rams’ way.

Today, we’re going to have a look at what might be in store for St. Louis if Alabama running back Trent Richardson falls to them. Hopefully there won't be a repeat of yesterday's autopilot errors and most of these picks at least make some sense. Enjoy!

I could live with this if it happened... The Browns have the control if we get Blackmon or not... I think they go Richardson.

Any particular reason the Ravens pass on Hill in this draft when they didn't in the last one? Just trying to mix it up?

Yep, just mixing it up and trying to project as many different scenarios I can for teams that I think have some real options.

[Shan the Ram Man]

I think that is how it will fall in top five.
I know Richardson is the best RB but a trade down for more picks sure would help. I'd rather trade down for more picks. Trade to Buffalo or K.C.. Hell anybody that offers enough picks.


If that is what happens in the rams draft. I will be happy. I have to be. Loyal Rams fan.
