(Free Agency and the Scouting Combine will dramatically change where these players land).updated 2/20
FIRST ROUND 2012 NFL MOCK DRAFT
1) Indianapolis Colts: Andrew Luck, QB Stanford
Other potential picks: None
This pick is pretty much signed, sealed and delivered.
2) Saint Louis Rams: Matt Kalil, OT USC
Other potential picks: Justin Blackmon or trade down for team seeking a QB.
The Rams have way too much invested in QB Sam Bradford and they need to provide him with the necessary tools to make plays. This starts with bolstering their offensive line and then adding some more targets for Bradford. It is highly likely that a team like the Browns, Redskins, or maybe even Dolphins make a move to the #2 spot to make a bid at RGIII.
3) Minnesota Vikings: Justin Blackmon, WR Oklahoma State
Other potential picks: Riley Reiff or Morris Claiborne
If Justin Blackmon continues to impress in the NFL Scouting Combine, I believe the Vikings will not pass up on him. They are building their future around Ponder and need to make his job a little easier and Blackmon would instantly do just that.
4) Cleveland Browns: Robert Griffin III, QB Baylor
Other potential picks: Trent Richardson, RB
If the Browns don't decide to jump up a few spots to select RG3, they will try and snag him here. Things with Colt McCoy at the helm are working out and they know RG3 is a special talent that they can build their franchise around. Interesting to see if the Redskins or another team tries to jump ahead of the Browns to get Griffin.
5) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Morris Claiborne, CB LSU
Other potential picks: Trent Richardson, RB
This was a tough pick for me because Trent Richardson would be a great option for the Bucs as well. However, Ronde Barber is getting old and Aqib Talib keeps getting in trouble. Mo Claiborne would immediately help stabilize an ailing secondary.
6) Washington Redskins: Riley Reiff, OT Iowa
Other potential picks: Ryan Tannehill, Trade up for RG3
This pick is a little tricky for me. The Redskins could make a move in Free Agency to snag the QB they've been in desperate need of. In the case that they do not pick up a QB, they will heavily pursue RG3 and take a long hard look at Tannehill at the #6 spot.
7) Jacksonville Jaguars: Quinton Coples, DE UNC
Other potential picks: Riley Reiff OT, Jonathan Martin OT,
Jacksonville had a lack luster pass rush last year and with two of their DE's restricted free agents, this is a need that has to be addressed. Quinton has tremendous athleticism and I fully expect him to perform well at the combine.
8) Carolina Panthers: Michael Brockers, DT LSU
Other potential picks: Devon Still DT, Jonathan Martin OT
Brockers has shot up my board recently and will help bolster the Panther defensive line who had difficulty stopping the run last year.
9) Miami Dolphins: Jonathan Martin, OT Stanford
Other potential picks: Ryan Tannehill QB, Trade up for RG3
I assume the Dolphins will pursue QB Matt Flynn and if they do happen to land him or another QB. With Marc Colombo most likely gone, protecting his right side will be important so the QB can effectively get the ball out to Bush and Marshall.
10) Buffalo Bills: Courtney Upshaw, DE/OLB Alabama
Other potential picks: Michael Floyd WR, Kendall Wright WR, Melvin Ingram DE
Upshaw would be an instant upgrade to a horrendous pass rush.
11) Kansas City Chiefs: Trent Richardson, RB Alabama
Other potential picks: David Decastro OG
Jamaal Charles is an injury prone back and adding Trent Richardson in the mix would provide for a very scary duo of running backs.
12) Seattle Seahawks: Melvin Ingram, DE South Carolina
Other potential picks: Devon Still, DT, Kendall Wright WR
Upgrading their pass rush should be a major concern in the draft.
13) Arizona Cardinals: Mike Adams, OT Ohio State
Other potential options: David Decastro, OG
Cardinals desperately need help at the OL position and should be able to find a suitable upgrade at the 13th pick.
14) Dallas Cowboys: Janoris Jenkins, CB North Alabama
Other potential picks: Dre Kirkpatrick CB
Cowboys need to address their situation in the secondary immediately. This pick could go either Jenkins or Kirkpatrick in my opinion. Both had some off field issues but the Cowboys are not afraid to should the issues (see Dez Bryant).
15) Philadelphia Eagles: Luke Kuechly LB Boston College Other potential picks: Michael Floyd, WR
Intelligent, high-character, and a high-motor, linebacker who will instantly bring an aspect of solidarity to the Eagles defense. I've seen him play numerous times and he reads and pursues running backs better than any other LB in this draft.
16) New York Jets: David Decastro, OG
Other potential picks: Floyd, Hightower, Wright, Still
Sanchez needs all the help/protection he can get.
17) Cincinatti Bengals: Dre Kirkpatrick CB Alabama
18) San Diego Chargers: Dont'a Hightower, DE/LB Alabama
19) Chicago Bears: Michael Floyd, WR Notre Dame
20) Tennessee Titans: Cody Glenn, OG Georgia
21) Cincinatti Bengals: Lamar Miller, RB Miami
22) Cleveland Browns: Kendall Wright, WR Baylor
23) Detroit Lions: Peter Konz, C Wisconsin
24) Pittsburgh Steelers: Dontari Poe, DT Memphis
25) Denver Broncos: Devon Still DT Penn State
26) Houston Texans: Alshon Jeffery, WR South Carolina
27) New England Patriots: Mark Barron. S Alabama
28) Green Bay Packers: Fletcher Cox, DT Miss State
29) Baltimore Ravens: Vontaze Burfict, LB Arizona State
30) San Francisco 49ers: Mohamed Sanu, WR Rutgers
31) New England Patriots: Alfonso Dennard, CB Nebraska
32) New York Giants: Zach Brown, LB UNC
