The parade of wide receivers continues at Rams Park, with some beef and defense thrown in for good measure. Louisiana Tech wide receiver Quinton Patton played a pre-draft visit Friday, while Cordarrelle Patterson of Tennessee visited earlier in the week.
That makes six wide receivers confirmed so far who either have made visits to Rams Park or have visits scheduled. Patterson could be the first wideout taken in the draft. Patton projects as a late first-round or second-round pick.
The Rams also played host to a couple of offensive linemen Friday _ tackle D.J. Fluker of Alabama and guard Larry Warford of Kentucky. Fluker could be in play for the Rams at No. 22 overall. Warford probably goes in the second round.
In the middle of all those offensive players, St. Louis also squeezed in a visit by Georgia linebacker Alec Ogletree earlier in the week. He’s considered one of the top defensive players in the draft. How a February DUI arrest and a four-game suspension in 2012 for reportedly failing a drug test affects his draft stock remains to be seen.
But he’s considered talented enough that even with their offensive needs, the Rams might think long and hard before passing on him if he’s available at No. 16.
Here’s the latest list of confirmed local and “top 30” visits. Some of the visits already have taken place; others are scheduled for the next couple of weeks.
