2012 NFL Mock Draft 7 Full Rounds | Updated 01/26/2012
1. Indianapolis Colts: Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
2012 NFL Mock Draft #1 QB
So the Miami Dolphins won a game and the Colts still have no wins. At this point I think that the Colts need to win 1 more game then the Dolphins due in order to not get the number one overall pick. with that being said the only way I see that happening now is if Peyton Manning actually gets back on the field in this season. So say they get the first overall pick.. the question is due you take Andrew Luck or do you trade the pick. In this 2012 NFL Mock Draft I do not account for draft day trades so I have the Colts selecting the top rated QB in the last decade to be the future replacement of the great Peyton Manning. Now that the Colts have beat the Texans they now may not even get the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL Mock Draft but as long as they do I think they are going to take Luck.
2. Trade: Washington Redskins : Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor
2012 NFL Mock Draft #2 QB
This 2012 NFL Mock Draft pick could be one of many picks in the 2012 NFL Draft. First of all it could remain with the St. Louis Rams and they most likely would select Justin Blackmon or Matt Kalil with this selection. With that being said I think that someone will trade up for this 2012 NFL Mock Draft pick such as Washington, Seattle, Cleveland, or Miami. With this selection I have the Redskins making the big splash and trading up to get they very talented athletic Robert Griffin III in this 2012 NFL Mock Draft.
3. Minnesota Vikings: Matt Kalil, OT, USC
2012 NFL Mock Draft #1 Offensive Tackle
This Vikings have a couple options with this 2012 NFL Mock Draft selection. Now that Robert Griffin is off the board they most likely will not be able to shop this 2012 NFL Mock Draft. With that being said if they stay at the 3rd overall pick the top options will be Matt Kalil, Justin Blackmon and Morris Claiborne who are all the top rated 2012 NFL Mock Draft players at their respective positions. Additionally they are all needs of the Vikings for the 2012 NFL Season. So I think they could go in one of many directions but I think Kalil is to good to pass up with this pick .
4. Cleveland Browns: Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma St
2012 NFL Mock Draft #1 Quarterback
I previously had the Browns selecting Robert Griffin III with this 2012 NFL Mock Draft selection. However, I now have the Redskins trading up to the 2nd overall selection in this 2012 NFL Mock Draft to snag RGIII. Therefore the Browns need to make a decision with this pick. Do they select Claiborne to play opposite Joe Haden or do they get a play maker. I believe with this selection Blackmon or Trent Richardson would both be good selections. All said and done I think Blackmon will be the best pick for the Browns and actually give them a legit NFL receiver.
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU
2012 NFL Mock Draft #1 Corner Back
The Buccaneers could go one of many directions with this 2012 NFL Mock Draft pick. The first thing that comes to mind for me is drafting someone such as Riley Reiff, David DeCastro or Jonathan Martin to step in and sure up the offensive line. Another option I see for them would be selecting Trent Richardson to pair with LeGarette Blount and give them an absurd running game. However, since the top rated CB is still available and they could use some help with age and character issues in their secondary. So all said and done I have them selecting Claiborne if he is available with the 5th selection in the 2012 NFL Draft.
6. Trade: St. Louis Rams: Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa
2012 NFL Mock Draft #2 Offensive Tackle
If the Rams make the decision to trade the 2nd overall pick and are still able to land Riley Reiff they are going to be big time winners. They end up getting a top tier tackle who Mike Mayock actually has rated higher than Matt Kalil and they get future high round draft picks. So I think if the Rams are able to do so they will in the 2012 NFL Draft.
7. Jacksonville Jaguars: Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame
2012 NFL Mock Draft #2 Wide Receiver
The Jacksonville Jaguars still do not have a legitimate Wide Receiver for Blaine Gabbert in the 2012 NFL Season. I am not sure that Floyd is necessarily worth a top 10 pick…. but I believe he is a top 15 talent for the 2012 NFL Draft. So due to the big need and a good player I have the Jaguars taking Floyd with the 7th overall pick in this 2012 NFL Mock Draft.
8. Miami Dolphins: David DeCastro, G, Stanford
2012 NFL Mock Draft #1 Guard
I think the Dolphins could go 1 of many ways with this selection. I think viable picks for them would be Alshon Jeffery, Trent Richardson, any of the available pass rushers or an offensive lineman. I am choosing to give them an interior offensive lineman who can play at every single position from Right Tackle to Left Guard.
