He says the Rams are in love with the idea of putting Watkins with Sam Bradford and Tavon Austin. (2:41)

Stedman Bailey, Tavin Austin, Jared Cook, and Sammy Watkins catching passes for Sam Bradford does sound appealing but again as long as the blocking is there, and that's the rub.

As long as we draft a guy that can anchor and not take out Long's knee then we're good.

I never got to actually see that play...

The video wouldn't load on my phone. Does Banks have sources, or is it his opinion?

It was his opinion. He has Watkins going to the Rams in his own Mock Draft. He doesn't site any source in the video.

That sucks. I was hoping he had a source. Having a trio of Austin, Bailey, and Watkins would be dynamic. I would then trade up from 13 for Matthews. That's my dream scenario, provided Clowney goes first.
