Rams need someone NOW for Bradford
now having said that, the group of FA wide receivers is pretty deep so the Rams will probably sign one of them instead of trading for Bowe.
But clearly Bowe provides several things that Blackmon probably doesn't in his 1st year.

This all assumes that the Rams are so desperate that they'd want to win today.
Blackmon gives you 10 years, Bowe maybe gives you 5. Blackmon has the upside to be Megatron good, Bowe is pretty much a fringe pro bowler (very good, but not elite). Blackmon is a hell of a lot less expensive, which is critical given the Rams' need to clean out their payroll.
As for the risks... while most receivers have risk, Blackmon isn't just any receiver. Blackmon, to me, is as surefire as Megatron was years ago.
If I'm the Rams, this decision is extremely easy.
