2012 NFL Mock

October 4th 2011 00:10
Thanks for checking out my 2012 NFL mock draft. This version of my 2012 mock was written on September 26th 2011 and I am making a guess at the drafting order. Please feel free to heap praise or insults on me in the comments below.

I need to clear up some things before you read my 2012 NFL mock draft. No I don’t smoke crack, my parents were not related and I didn’t write this in an AA meeting. Some people would rather you slap their mother than that disagree with their mock draft.

1 Seattle Seahawks- Andrew Luck QB- Stanford

Luck may well use his last year of eligibility to leverage a trade to the team of his choice. But if he comes out and does not force a trade, then the Seahawks will grab him.


2 Indianapolis Colts- Matt Barkley QB-USC

Whether Peyton Manning comes back or not the Colts have learned the value of quarterbacks and will take the best on available.

3 Minnesota Vikings- Matt Kalil OT- USC

Should the Vikings pick first they will take Luck even though they drafted a QB in 2011. But I think they fall to third and take the best offensive lineman in the 2012 NFL draft.

4 Kansas City Chiefs-Justin Blackmon WR- Oklahoma State

Dwayne Bowe will be a free agent and even if the Chiefs resign him the team will need some more help at the spot.

5 Cincinnati Bengals- Trent Richardson RB- Alabama

The Bengals could go quarterback here but I think Richardson is the best fit since Beason could end up in prison at any time,

6 Miami Dolphins- Landry Jones QB-Oklahoma

The Dolphins have been looking for a quarterback since Dan Marino retired. Jones will be the next to try it.

7 Denver Broncos- Quinton Couples DE-UNC

If John Fox is still in charge he will go defense and Couples is the best D lineman in the 2012 NFL draft.


8 Carolina Panthers- Jared Crick DT-Nebraska

The Panthers need defensive linemen and Crick is a beast that will help the team for the next 10 years.

9 Tennessee Titans- Alshon Jeffery WR- South Carolina
The Titans add a deadly weapon to go with Britt or to replace him if needed.

10 St. Louis Rams-Vontaze Burfict LB-Arizona State

The Rams get a fired up and mean linebacker to help out their poor defense.

11 Arizona Cardinals Riley Reiff OT-Iowa

I think the Cardinals are going all in to help their offense and it starts on the line.

12 Washington Redskins- Alfonzo Dennard CB-Nebraska

My 2012 NFL mock draft has the Redskins taking the best corner on the board but they could go QB or Wideout here.

13 Jacksonville Jaguars-Michael Floyd WR-Notre Dame

The Jags continue trying to fix their wide receiver position.

14 Cleveland Browns - Luke Kuechly LB- Boston College

The Browns will like this tough backer when playing the Steelers every year.

15 Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Jeff Fuller WR-Texas A&M

Fuller gives Freeman a big, fast target.

16 Chicago Bears- Dre Kirkpatrick CB- Alabama

Dre Kirkpatrick would be a day one starter for the Bears and makes the most sense at this point in my 2012 mock NFL draft.

17 Pittsburgh Steelers- D.J. Fluker OT-Alabama

If Fluker falls this far the Steelers will be on him faster than James Harrison on a ball carrier.

18 Dallas Cowboys-Mike Adams OT- Ohio State

You can never have enough quality linemen and Adams will fit well here.

19 San Francisco 49ers- Brandon Jenkins DE-OLB- Florida State

The 49ers need a pass rush and Jenkins can help out with that.

20 Oakland Raiders- Stephon Gilmore CB- South Carolina

The Raiders will like his speed and return ability.

21 New York Giants- Jayron Hosley CB- Virginia Tech

Hosley adds depth and return skills to the Giants who need both going into 2012.

22 New York Jets- Donte Paige-Moss LB- UNC

Ok letting Paige-Moss slip so far in my 2012 NFL mock may have been a mistake but he did and the Jets will snatch him up.

23 Philadelphia Eagles-Kelechi Osemele OG-OT- Iowa State

The Eagles will take the best lineman on the board here.

24 Baltimore Ravens- Jerel Worthy DT- Michigan State

The Ravens could go WR here but I think they take Worthy.

25 Detroit Lions- Zach Brown LB- UNC

The Lions continue to add to a nasty defense in my 2012 NFL mock draft.

26 Buffalo Bills- Ryan Broyles WR- Oklahoma

Broyles can give the Bills a nice target and also help the return teams.

27 Cleveland Browns (from Atlanta) David DeCastro G- Stanford

DeCastro could play guard or tackle and help out the Browns offense at this spot.

28 Houston Texans- Kheeston Randall DL- Texas

May be a reach here but the Texans could use Randall on their defensive line. He would make a good 3-4 end.

29 San Diego Chargers- Juron Criner WR-Arizona

Bit of a reach but he is a tall physical wideout in the mold that San Diego loves. Could be a steal.

30 New Orleans Saints- Morris Claiborne CB- LSU

To compete with the Packers and eventually the Panthers, New Orleans needs multiple good defensive backs.

31 New England Patriots- Casey Hayward CB- Vanderbilt

Heyward isn’t afraid to make a tackle and is a fair ball hawk.

32 Green Bay Packers-Cliff Harris CB- Oregon

Harris can help an old secondary and also return punts if needed.

Nice early mock draft man, and we really could use a guy like Crick. Sione Fua was a waste of a pick; that guy is already one of the worst tackles in the league. Could you please check out the Orble Sport Blog/Forum? Thanks.

If, in fact, the Hawks do end up with the #1 - I'm hoping that Luck is not the pick. In fact, I'm not sure Luck will be the #1 overall as is at that point, however, for the sake of argument - let's say he is.

They simply need too much to pass on the likely massive offers they should get for the rights to that pick.

Yeah it could be a Ricky Williams type of trade.
