Updated 2012 NFL Mock Draft
2nd Addition of My 2012 NFL Mock Draft Written Jan 02 2011
This updated 2012 NFL draft was written on Febuary 13th 2012. Check the sources below for more 2012 NFL Mock Drafts.
1 Indianapolis Colts Andrew Luck QB- Stanford
The Colts will pick and try to sign Andrew Luck if he does not force a trade with his year of eligibility remaining. It is unclear if Peyton Manning will play again and even if he does Luck is the pick for the Colts.
2 St. Louis Rams Matt Kalil OL- USC
I fully expect the Rams to trade this pick to somebody who win want to draft Robert Griffin III. If the Ram's don't trade the pick it will be Matt Kalil who will help protect Sam Bradford. The Rams have too much money tied up in Bradford to give up on him now.
3 Minnesota Vikings Robert Griffin III QB- Baylor
The Vikings will take RG3 if he is available but if he is gone the Vikings will draft Blackmon..
4 Cleveland Browns- Trent Richardson RB- Alabama
The Browns could go with a quarterback here if RG3 falls or may trade up for him. Failing that Richardson will revive their running game.
5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Morris Claiborne DB- LSU
I expect the Bucs to trade this pick if Barkley is on the board and somebody wants him. If they keep it Claiborne makes the most sense here in my 2012 NFL mock draft.
6 Washington Redskins Justin Blackmon WR- Oklahoma State
I think the Redskins will try to trade up for a quarterback but failing that Justin Blackman is the best offensive player on the board and they will take him.
7 Jacksonville Jaguars Riley Reiff OT-Iowa
The Jaguars would go QB if anyone slides down to them. But if not then Riley Reiff is a no brainer for the Jaguars in my updated 2012 NFL mock draft.
8 Miami Dolphins Ryan Tannehill QB-Texas A&M
Ok Tannehill is a reach here but the Dolphins need a QB unless they sign Flynn.
.
9 Carolina Panthers Quinton Coples DL- UNC
Coples is a beast who could play end or tackle and the Carolina Panthers need to give their dreadful defensive line some help.
10 Buffalo Bills Devon Still DT- Penn State
The Bills could go wide receiver here but I think they take Still who will help their defensive line for the next 10 years.
11 Seattle Seahawks Nice Foles QB Arizona
Another quarterback reach but the Seahawks are a QB away from being a pretty decent team.
12 Kansas City Chiefs Jonathan Martin OT-Stanford
The Chiefs had a great offensive line for years then it declined. Martin will be the start of its return.
13 Arizona Cardinals Dre Kirkpatrick CB- Alabama
The Cardinals score big time here by adding Kirkpatrick to team with 2011 rookie Patrick Peterson.
14 Dallas Cowboys Courtney Upshaw De-LB- Alabama
Upshaw will give the Cowboys more talent at linebacker if Dallas does not go for a defensive tackle or cornerback.
15 Philadelphia Eagles Michael Floyd WR- Notre Dame
Floyd is a good fit to replace DeSean Jackson if the Eagles let him leave as a free agent. Philly could go linebacker or offensive lineman here though.
16 New York Jets Melvin Ingram LB- South Carolina
Ingram can step in right away and help a Jets linebacking unit that got old.
17 Cincinnati Bengals (Raider trade) Kendall Wright WR- Baylor
Wright will add more pop to an already nice Bengals offense and supplement A.J. Green nicely.
18 San Diego Chargers David DeCastro G- Stanford
The Chargers snap up DeCastro the best offensive lineman on the board.
19 Chicago Bears Alshon Jeffery WR- South Carolina
Jeffery's stock dropped due to poor quarterback play at South Carolina but he is a steal for the Bears in my updated 2012 NFL mock draft.
20 Tennessee Titans Nick Perry DE- USC
If Perry falls this far the Titans will pick him in the 2012 NFL draft to give them some pop on the defensive line.
21 Cincinnati Bengals Fletcher Cox DT- Mississippi State
Cox adds some young legs and drive to an already decent Bengals defense
22 Cleveland Browns (from Atlanta) Luke Kuechly LB-Boston College
Kuechly will help turn around an anemic Cleveland Browns defense
23 Detroit Lions Lamar Miller RB-Miami
The Lions need running backs and Miller is the best left in my 2012 updated NFL mock draft.
24 Pittsburgh Steelers Brandon Washington OG- Miami
The Steelers will go for the best offensive lineman on the board here unless there is a RB they covet.
25 Denver Broncos Jared Crick DE- Nebraska
Crick will give John Fox another defensive lineman to help rebuild the Broncos defense with. With the Broncos going to the 4-3 they need to add good defensive linemen.
26 Houston Texans Reuben Randle WR- LSU
The Texans snap up the best offensive skill player on the board.
27 New England Patriots (from New Orleans) Mark Barron SS- Alabama
The Patriots address their terrible defensive secondary with this nice Alabama player
28 Green Bay Packers Jayron Hosley DB- Virginia Tech
The old Packers secondary gets some young legs with Hosley.
29 Baltimore Ravens Dont'a Hightower LB-Alabama
Hightower is a good fit here for the Ravens who need some youth on the defense.
30 San Francisco 49ers Jerel Worthy DT- Michigan State
I kind of expect San Francisco to try to trade for Luck. Look for Worthy to be the pick here to add depth to a decent defensive line.
31 New England Patriots Whitney Mercilus DE-Illinois
An athletic pass rusher to help out the Patriots defense.
32 New York Giants Alfonzo Dennard CB- Nebraska
The Giants are a defensive minded team that needs young backs. Dennard is the best corner on the board in my 2012 NFL mock draft.

Post a CommentIf the Dolphins draft Tannehill at 8/9 - they should be kicked out of the NFL permanently.
Wow sorry I insulted your mother somehow. The Rams will probably trade down. Why not deal Ponder and take RG3 if you are the Vikings and trying to sell tickets?
Geez! Besides Luck the top 5 are horrible!!, The rams needs a reciever for Bradford, the line may be bad but he still needs a quick reciever to throw to, they will most likely draft Blackmon, and why would the vikings draft RG3??? Ponder is a great QB who they have faith in, the just need someone to give him protection- Matt Kalil, and WHY THE HELL would the browns draft a RB???? They have Hillis who may have missed games but still proved hes explosive in the last few games, even w/o him we have Hardesty who is fast an agile, The Browns don't need a #$%$ reciever either, they have Massaqoui and Little, 2 great receivers right there, plsu Cribbs whos gettin better at catching each year. They need a QB, they definently NEED to draft RG3, he will have those 2 recievers to throw to, plus the experienced and most receptions on our team, Watson, and a great O line now that our line will be healthy and he is waaay better than Mccoy.
Like Richardson to the Browns at pick 4.They have alot of needs, but TR is the real deal, and will be the focal point of that offense, even as a rookie, as long as their is no holdout.
