Justin Blackmon: Teams That Would Be Ideal Fits for Oklahoma State WR
Justin Blackmon has established himself as the best wide receiver in this year's class. After posting monster numbers in his final two seasons at Oklahoma State, he solidified his status with a strong showing at his pro day workout.
Let's take a look at three teams picking inside the top 10 that would be ideal fits for the former Cowboys star. He should have no trouble stepping right into his new team's starting lineup and making a run at Rookie of the Year honors.

Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
Sam Bradford has struggled to reach expectations after being selected first overall two years ago. That has as much to do with his supporting cast as it does his actual ability, though. The St. Louis Rams have lacked a legitimate top target for him to utilize.
Brandon Gibson and Danny Amendola are perfectly fine depth receivers, but asking them to go up against an opponent's top corner is overshooting their ability. Adding Blackmon to the mix would allow each of them to slide down a notch.
The Rams can't expect Bradford to succeed unless they start surrounding him with more weapons. While they do need a defensive tackle, selecting Blackmon will be a much better long-term investment.
The Jaguars are another team with a young quarterback hoping to find his way. Blaine Gabbert was drafted by the team in the first round last year, but Jacksonville has already shown signs of concern by signing Chad Henne to back him up.
While Gabbert failed to impress in his rookie season, it's hard to find him totally at fault when his best receiver was probably running back Maurice Jones-Drew. Marcedes Lewis and Mike Thomas aren't exactly players who strike fear into opposing secondaries.
Laurent Robinson and Lee Evans were brought in to provide some support, but neither one of those wideouts has as much upside as Blackmon. So those additions shouldn't stop the Jags from picking him.
It's hard to imagine Blackmon sliding any further than Buffalo. The Bills addressed their biggest need by signing Mario Williams and Mark Anderson to fix a dreadful pass-rush, giving them more flexibility with their first pick.
Stevie Johnson emerged as star last season, but the Bills still need another wide receiver to help Ryan Fitzpatrick rediscover the form that caused the team to give him a big extension. Blackmon would give them a solid one-two punch.
Even though left tackle has been the position connected with the Bills most, they can't pass on a chance to select Blackmon. They could then target Mike Adams or Bobby Massie at LT in Round 2.
