Passing on Blackmon at #7 but for who?

If and let's just hypothetically assume Justin Blackmon is not Gene's Smith's #1 rated WR nor a top ten prospect in this draft class on his big board. Who could you see them taking if they pass on Blackmon?

Now assume the following are gone...
Luck, RG3, Kalil, Richardson and Claiborne.
All seem to be consensus top 5 selections and most likely will not be there. With St. Louis rumored to be favoring Fletcher Cox possibly I was curious as to who you would want at #7 assuming you pass on Blackmon. Its easy to just say Blackmon it is. But there is likely more background noise than simply put.

The point of this topic is you cannot pick Blackmon. Please do not say we won't pass on him and that is all. Tell me who you would want besides him.

Thanks guys! Thought it would create good discussion. Oh yeah and no trade down! I know that is preferred!

Michael Floyd/ Melvin Ingram/ Quinton Coples and Reilly Reif in that order. I'd be pretty mad though. The only thing I'd be ok overlooking Blackmon for would be Claiborne or a good trade.

dear god help me if they pass on blackmon. Gene might pass because he is gun shy and still has not drafted a offensive weapon that has panned out. The first pick has to be a WR. I not once remember saying "if our defense only played better" i do however remember saying "can anyone on this team catch the f***ing ball?"

If those 5 are gone, I'd REALLY hope we trade down.

I know we have talked about Stephon Gilmore but what about Mark Barron? He seems to be really hot right now as Charlie Casserly is calling him worthy of a top ten pick. He fits the profile of what Gene Smith likes off the field. Thoughts on Barron?

Hey Jags fans. I just have a quick question. Who had more say in the draft last year, Del Rio or Gene Smith? I'm going to create a mock, and I'm trying to find out how likely it is that you all would draft Tannehill.
