2012 Mock Draft (3 Rounds) Version 1.0
Couple of points to make before I get to the draft:
1) This is a rough draft. I expect and anticipate much criticism.
2) I decided to utilize a BAP/need approach where I looked at team needs and without straying too far from my board I made a selection. So, if your team needed an OG and the best OG was 10 spots down, you did not get an OG. If the OG was 4 spots down, and none of the higher picks filled a position that I felt was needed by your team, then the OG was the pick.
3) WalterFootball's order, although I hate the guy and find his mock drafts laughable. I happen to differ greatly with him on elimination projections in the playoffs this year, but his order was easily findable on google, so I used it.
4) Towards the end I got a bit lazy, so if somewhere you see a player listed twice, I am very sorry but it skipped my eye when I "proofread" this thing.
5) Finally, if there is a player you see missing and he has eligibility left, I envision him going back even if he has not explicitly said so.

Bucs
Not liking it. There is no obvious pick for us in the first round, but we need a right tackle and I can’t see spending the #5 pick on one. In the second round, I like Lavonte David, but that’s really too early for an undersized LB. I like Hayward in the third.
Not a great board for the Bucs in any case. No easy picks.
Yea
I would honestly rather take Blackmon over Martin at #5 if no Claiborne. Him, Kirk, or Kuechly if no Claiborne and we couldnt trade down IMO.
No matter how much they are hyped, my teams always find a way to disappoint.
by thedudeofdudes on Jan 5, 2012 4:17 PM EST up reply actions
I actually put up a poll on Bucs nation about this situation
with the first 4 picks going Luck, Kalil, Claiborne, RG3 and us not being able to trade down. Blackmon barely edged out Richardson as the preferred pick, with Kirkpatrick a distant third. Martin did get a couple votes, but not many. I think almost everyone wanted to trade down in this situation if we could.
We want to trade down in this situation
But there’s no obvious trade partner. I was one of the (very few) who chose Martin in this scenario, but Blackmon or Richardson would also be acceptable choices. Agree that David’s a bit of a stretch at #37, but there are very few good value choices for us there. Hayward’s a good choice at #69.
With the 5th pick of the 2012 NFL draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select....
I might be tempted to take my choice of RBs in the second
I just feel like its a reach for Lavonte David. Maybe we could trade down from that spot too and grab him at a better spot.
Rams?
either Kalil, Blackmon, or trade the pick
by ECURam87 on Jan 5, 2012 1:55 PM EST via Android app reply actions
I disagree
Kalil is a solid pick, but there is young talent at the T position.
Blackmon @ 2 is too high. He is not good value at the selection since he is not likely to be an elite WR the likes of Megatron and Fitzgerald.
Given the lack of talent at CB in this team, Blackmon makes a lot of sense as the pick.

lack of talent?
as an Rams fan, I can tell you our talent at CB is impressive, but when your top 4 CBs go on IR by week 5, and have to start practice squad/off the street guy, you will look bad

ok fine you had guys get injured
but you also IMO overestimate bit. Let us not forget that you guys have a 37 year old Al Harris as probably your best CB. I think that might be a situation you want to fix.

the ONLY reason he was a Ram this year was because of the plague of injuries. Rams nation would be shocked if they didn’t get a LT, playmaking WR or trade the pick to fill more holes with more picks

The front office is going to make the move they see as best, and to be honest, they could trade, but I am not including trades(just yet). As for the WR/T situation, as a fan of the game, I see Claiborne as filling more of a need than Kalil. Blackmon is just too big of a reach to be worth consieration at the #2 pick, especially with those other 2 available. After all, it was all of 3 years ago that the Rams took a T at #2.

are the Rams biggest needs, followed by olb and DT. then CB for depth only (assuming everyone gets healthy)

Chiefs
With the first round pick i would rather take David Decastro at the spot than Kuechly simply because i see Decastro as both a better value and the position as a greater need than SILB is.
The second round selection of Nate Potter i absolutely hate with Zebrie Sanders still on the board. Potter to me is a guard in the NFL while Sanders is my favorite OT in the draft not named Kalil. Fletcher Cox and Robert Lester are both intriguing at this point too from a BPA stand point.
The third round selection of Chapman seems to be pretty standard for the Chiefs and i don’t think it will happen. I think Crennel and Pioli see that the league is a passing league and with how much we run a 2-4-5 nickel defense they don’t value a great NT.
Agreed
Travis Lewis in the 3rd would be an interesting idea, WILB depth and also able to play STs/sub packages

Not bad. Love the Kalil pick. But in the 2nd I’d probably rather go in a different direction (WR or S, maybe even guard) and draft Casey Hayward in the 3rd.

Rams
I would take Blackmon in round one. If Kendall Wright were there at 2; that would be a great break. In round three I would select Doug Martin.
1. Justin Blackmon
2. Kendall Wright
3. Doug Martin
The mock has us taking a T in the third round also.
I would be ok with Reiff, but agree with you that Buffalo won’t draft a tackle.
Would prefer to see the Bills trade down to the middle of the round and pick up an extra pick.
by PineWoodsBillsFan on Jan 5, 2012 2:21 PM EST up reply actions
Yep. Reiff wouldn’t be my first pick there; I would rather have Tannehill or Jeffery, but if we do take Reiff I would bet my left nut we don’t take a 2nd tackle for a while in the draft (unless there’s huge value).
Just gave Erik Pears an extension at RT. Have Chris Hairston (4th round) entering his second year at LT. So possibly one OT but almost assuredly not 2 new ones drafted.

by NordicBillsfan on Jan 5, 2012 4:01 PM EST up reply actions
Tannehill is a gigantci reach in the frst, and even Jeffery is a substantial enough of a reach that he is not the pick. As for the 2nd T, that might have been me in my laziness missing the T pick in the first when doing the 3rd round pick.
"The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price." -Vince Lombardi
I see the Bills picking a pass rusher in the first, either an OLB or a DE (depending on whether we predominately run a 4-3 or a 3-4), and either a CB in the 2nd and a WR in the 3rd, or a WR in the 2nd and a CB in the 3rd.
But the biggest need, by far and away, is a dominant pass rusher.

Agree they won't take a tackle first
But if they do not re-sign Stevie I could see WR.
Lions
first pick should be T Mike Adams
2nd round pick should be C Ben Jones
The meet major needs and they fit the value of the pick.. both of the players mocked here don’t fill need because of capable starters at those positions
Detroit needs >> C / T
Then >> LB (pending on if they resign certain players)
Oh and not a Panther fan per say but their Mock is full on reaches
Adams is not a first round T prospect plain and simple. I think it would be a huge reach to take him in the first. In the second, I was considering going C but I looked and saw Raiola is being paid pretty big money for the next 2 years I do believe, and so I did not think that Jones made sense. Although, I look at the pick and I realize I do not even think I made a good pick for them in the 2nd. I will have to take care of that in my next version.

Really?
I had heard good things about him and I was hoping the Ravens might try and take him to be the LT.
he has issues against speed rushers
and apparently some character issues too. I think he’s strictly a RT

If it weren't for the juniors
This would be hands down the worst tackle class in a decade.

but we have huge holes on the right side of the line
and SS isn’t a need at all, Spievey’s played pretty decent. What I’d like em to do is draft a guy like Peter Konz out of Wisconsin and put him at the right guard spot to replace Peterman (and then eventually Raiola) or a RT to replace Gosder. Either that or a solid corner in either the 1st or 2nd rounds. DE and S are not needs though. Just some advice, I know it’s hard doing these things

I also diasgree with your Panther remark. A weaker class of WR and McNutt is a first round pick IMO. As for Still he makes sese and is a top 15 talent in my book.

oh
apparently you are not a fan of a big receiver with very good hands, average(if not above average) speed who likely would have been a first rounder in a weaker WR draft
"The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price." -Vince Lombardi
It's the same as always
A couple top prospects, a couple size / speed projects, lots of guys who can’t even get consistent separation at the college level, and very few guys that have even seen an NFL route tree. Most of the success stories outside the first round have been and will continue to be related more to the destination than who the player already is.
Every time Jamie Dukes says something enlightening and informative about football Jerry Rice and I mount up on our flying grizzly bears and claim pirate treasure from the moon. That's how often it happens.
I was saying IF the class was weaker
McNutt would be a first round pick perhap. But since it is so strong, he is a second rounder

I'm saying BPA
You know how Hurney is he’ll grab the BPA and run with it…. I would love to go CB, LB or OLine with the first pick but I wouldnt be suprised to see Hurney snatch up Jeffery
Ravens
Very solid draft. Really like the first two picks and while I don’t know too much about Lindsey I do like his potential as a 3rd rounder from the little I have heard. We are pretty good at OLB, but if Johnson leaves or if Kindle doesn’t turn into anything it could be a solid pick. Well done.

Superb Jaguars Draft
I love Dwight Jones and I wasn’t aware of Miller until this draft. I like him as a jack of all trades type guy who works hard, he could push Aaron Morgan, Austen Lane, and the other injured, unproven people for playing time.
"HULU: An evil plot to destroy the world. Enjoy"
The Problem with our Wide recievers is that they're never wide open and they have trouble receiving the ball...
Like Jags 2nd and 3rd
Kirkpatrick is good, but I don’t see the Jags taking him at 7, even if the Jags have been known for making “reach” picks so it is a possibility. If anything, we should trade down.
sorry,
but he’s expected to be a top 10 pick now, especially if his combine goes well.

he is not a reach at all
good size and speed, physical, has the tools to play man and bump and run. Not sure what about his game makes him a reach at 7. He may end up being better than Claiborne.

I also see this as more realistic. At times I was trying to have certain guys get skipped over so they could be there for the Jags but I think i did not do that in this case and still got a good haul

No strong opinion
but do we really need more DE depth? It seems we really just need a top-notch pass rusher on the other side of Mincey. Our depth seems solid, no?
I think Julian Miller can be a really good pass rusher at DE opposite Mincey
27 sacks over 4 seasons.
6 sacks this year, but he was all around that WV line. DT, NT, DE, so it was a bit hard for him to get as many sacks. To be honest, this year there are no guys that stand out to me as GREAT pass rushers at the next level. Closest thing might be Mercilus, and even he is a guy who I think relied too much on sheer overwhelming of colleigate tackles.
"The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price." -Vince Lombardi
i think the best idea
Is to have good stable of DEs and just sub them in and wear down the OL.
Having 3 or 4 good DEs could prove a valuable thing

I like Cam Johnson more than Miller myself in the third...
…. but Miller wouldn’t be a bad pick-up for depth. First two rounds are pretty much perfect, though.
Colts
Luck - Obvious…
Thompson - DT is going to be relatively low on the list of needs. The problem with the defense is the secondary. CB and SS are much more pressing.
White – No problem with a WR, seems quite a bit earlier than I would have expected White to go.
Thompson was more of a value pick to be truthful. I think he has first round talent and as much as I hate to say it, he is going to be a good guy for the Colts defense. As I like to say, a good D-Line makes the secondary that much better.
As for White, as of right now it might be high, but I do think he is a riser and could put himself in the low 2nd early 3rd round range
"The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price." -Vince Lombardi
I actually really like this. I know the Colts really need CB and SS, but the SS class is weak outside Barron and I don’t like Gilmore that high. Thompson is a really good fit as a 1 or 3 tech in the Tampa-2 and that’s a great spot to get him. I think he’ll be there because of Clemson’s atrocious performance in their bowl game. Plus, he managed to produce even without Da’Quan Bowers opposite him, which bodes well for his future in the NFL. I would only be upset with the Thompson pick if Minnifield were still available.
I really like Jordan White and agree that’s a good spot for him. While people may say it’s early to draft him there, they said the same about Angerer. Plus, I think he’ll rise. Good route runner with solid hands. That sounds like a Colts WR to me. Plus, looking at some of the other wide receivers there isn’t anyone else I’m crazy about.
This is a good corner class and you can get some good talent in the 4th. For the Colts I like Hyde from Iowa, if he comes out. But the guy I really like is Donnie Fletcher from BC. He looks like a great fit for the Tampa-2 and had a solid senior season. He won’t be a lockdown corner at the next level, but the Tampa-2 doesn’t need lockdown guys.
Love the Colts draft
Luck, yes… obvious.
I think Thompson and Nevis could be scary good together and as Jagsrok9008 says, good Dline play will help the secondary. Plus there is some youth there that could develop quite a bit.
White has some play-making ability, which I love, but he’s a small-school guy and will probably take awhile to develop, but has tons of production, looks like he runs great routes and great hands, which is what I look for in a WR.
Bill and Chris Polian are better talent evaluators than you, count on it.

I dont see the panthers taking a WR in the 2nd
CB, DT, and OL early on, i’d like to see us look at safety also, Sherrod Martin was freaking awful this year
"The way y'all are lollygaggin around here with them picks and them shovels, you'd think it was 120 degrees...can't be more than 114."
Like this mock
But the Giants NEED to pick an offensive lineman with at least one of their first three picks. Not much on the free agent market that Jerry Reese can nab. They’ll have to built up that line through the draft. Much rather get Konz, Osmele, or Sanders with that first pick.

Montee Ball has stated that he is not declaring, and will return for his senior year. I would love to get him in stripes, but unfortunately that will have to wait a year. Otherwise I love the draft.
Ball declared after I posted. Same thing with Jenkins from FSU and Worthy of MSU wa s guy i figured to stay in school and now he is entering the draft. obviously going to have to account for this when i do version 2.0, whenever that may be

Broncos
Personally I would not be happy with this draft. I dont think they should draft a WR that early when there are plenty of other positions which need greater improvement especially if Thomas gets a full off season under his belt.
I think drafting Miller in the 2nd is a real reach.
Personally would rather Thompson and Ball in those positions.

fair enough
my overall startegy for the broncos in this draft was to try and help Tebow turn into a long-term success at WR. I personally have my doubts about him in the long term, and I think whether it is being said or not, the Denver FO has similar doubts. Therefore, getting him a WR of Jeffery’s caliber, and a very good G in Miller would only help him and this offense succeed.

whilst i disagree, i respect the logic that you have based your picks on.
hell the beauty of the draft process is that we all have different views on players and how different teams should approach it.

The o-line hasn't been that bad acutually.
I would say the broncos need more depth on the o-line than anything. I don’t think Jeffery would be out of the question. The broncos have said they will go BPA. At that point, Jeffery would be the BPA. However, they did say they would go more on the defensive side. Not a bad mock draft, but Miller would be used as depth and the second round is too early for that. Nice thought on Jeffery though.

O line
I think they need at least one starter on the O Line. Beadles is too inconsistent for me and Kuper’s injury will take a long time to heal and as a result will probably miss some of the next regular season.

Fox has said he plans on getting Kuper back by training camp.
He also said that one of his o-linemen experinced the same injury and was back by training camp.
Beadles is an average starter that does better when he’s pulling. Broncos would be wise to bring another guard to compete with him though. I will say, Beadles has made improvements since last year. He’s only in his second year, but I’d still bring in another guard to push him.

the QBs just do not fall in such a way that taking one makes sense.

I like all the picks. I think Tank Carder (bitchin’ name) would provide great value in the third round. Not to mention the fact that a lot of needs are addressed, which is always nice.

As the brother of a 49er fan who could not stop talking about Aldon Smith having a field day on your O-Line, I knew that first pick would be a welcome addition to that team. He might end up playing G, but I think he has a legit shot to contribute as a T.

Hmmm, Board fell badly for the Giants I think
I think I’d prefer Konz over Taze in the 1st, Idk about the second, but the Giants do not go DT again, we’ve gone DT in the second round for the past two drafts, plus we have Canty. 3rd round is fine, maybe we go Tank Carder or Levy Adcock. Not my favorite draft, but with the way the board fell, not the worst possible draft either.
The board actually sets up pretty nicely for the Giants.
1) Peter Konz/Kelechi Osemele
2) Lamar Miller/ David Wilson
3) TJ McDonald/Brandon Taylor
I support the Giants like bras support Kim Kardashian's boobs. It can be a struggle, we've had some jiggles, but we're still firm.

Maybe just me, but I'd rather we get Miller. Wilson is too east/west for me. Did you see the -20 yard rush in the Sugar Bowl? That stuff shouldn't happen.

that can be coached.
and he wouldnt be the starter, he’d split time with either BJ or AB.

Unles he indicated otherwise
I HIGHLY doubt he leaves college this year. He could easily go back another year and become a much higher draft pick. As for WIlson, I do not think the calue is there. He is more like a high to middle thrid round prspect in my eyes.
As for the 3rd round guys, I think McDonald goes back to school and Taylor is a worse pick IMO than Martin

My thoughts
Burfict as an ILB is different from Burfict as a MLB. As an ILB, he can be the loose, athletic playmaker and the other ILB can be the brains. As the MLB, he is it. I cannot see Burfict as the defensive captain on a Tom Coughlin team. In the middle of our playoff run, Bradshaw was benched for an entire half for apparently missing curfew. You cannot be benching your MLB.
In the second, we already have Canty, Joseph (2nd 2010), and Austin (2nd 2011). Be a great place to get an OL, Ben Jones there.
I like Doug Martin in the 3rd. Think he would fit the Giants well.
1) This is a rough draft. I expect and anticipate much criticism.
eh. i liked the gmens 1st round pick
i also agree that NE is a very plausible landing spot for sanu (its like Rutgers+ in NE)
but i dont see the giants taking another DT in the 2nd

the Giants draft makes me throw up.
Burfict is ass. Dude’s not a first.
ANOTHER DT in the 2nd? Fletcher Cox is real good, but we still have vets under contract and also Anvil Joseph and Marvin Austin. BPA sure, but enough is enough.
And I’d also be pissed if Tyler Eiffert declares, drops to the third round and the Giants pass. I like Doug Martin too, but Eiffert could be great in this offense.

or maybe it does. This one too 1.3 seconds. It takes me way longer to take a dump.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
I appreciate the truth regardless of how blunt you said it
You make a decent point on the second round pick. Thre are DTs that I completely forgot about. Austin does have potential to be pretty decent. Anvil, I am not as convinced about.
As for your remark about the 3rd round pick, I honestly can say that Eli could use a better TE than what he has, but given the pretty sad rushing attack of the Giants this year, I saw Martin is a very good choice. Frankly, I think that Eli might even come out in 2012 and have one of the 2 TEs on the roster really step up and turn into a nice weapon for him.
The Burflict thing I do disagree with. This guy is an enormous talent who has had “motivation issues”. As a Jaguar fan(and a NYC resident) I know Tom Coughlin and think that he might be a great coach to really get Burflict into the proper mindset and really help Burflict realize his full potential at the NFL level.

Joseph's been inconsistent if anything
he’s had some really, really good games. Him and Austin should make for a great pairing eventually. He is a 2nd year player, and while I have no problem drafting for the line at some point I don’t think they need to spend a 2nd rounder on it. If Cox drops to the 3rd, sure why not.
Doug Martin…I think there’s other Doug Martin’s in this draft. If he’s there in the 3rd, I see no reason why they can’t find a similar back in the third.
Eiffert on the other hand is a very good receiver and he’s gigantic. I think the Giants could find a RB, but a TE? Jake Ballard is a weapon in this offense and on any other team in the league he’s the #2 TE. Eli would nut all over himself if he had an Eiffert type TE.

i see austin as one of the better DT's in the past draft and the current one. he has a very high ceiling

I like the Bills 1st 2 picks a lot
DE/OLB and OT are both big holes for the Bills. Although I really, really want a QB that can sit behind Fitzpatrick for a year or 2
Kenny Powers is back!
Hariston? Bell ? Pears ? I think we’re pretty set at tackle. This was the oline that allowed Fitz to get sacked the least of any QB on the league..

Part of that was due to scheme, but I do agree that our O-Line problems are overblown.

2nd Round Targets: Jared Crick (3-4DE & 4-3LDE), Melvin Ingram 3-4OLB, Kirk Cousins QB

The quick release scheme is definitely part of it, but they also opened holes enough for Fred to gain over 900 yards rushing in 9 games. I honestly feel really good about our oline right now, tackles included.

I have to agree. No way does San Diego go with Jones if Nick Perry, Cordy Glenn, and Alshon Jeffrey are still on the board.
Players they would sooner take in the second: Fleener, Jones, perhaps Spence
Players they would sooner take in the third: Johnson, perhaps Quick or Carder

Blackmon and Tannehill without having to trade away any picks? Sign me up. And CB is definitely a need, but if a higher rated OL was there I’d want them to take them in the 3rd. Good mock though.
No way the Bills take two tackles in he first three picks. We’re actually pretty set at tackle. I’d be surprised if we added another before the 4th or 5th round.

Drop from #13 in the first to #19 in the 2nd (even tho its not their pick) then #18 in the 3rd?

I don't agree with your Texans picks. Here's what I think they'll do
1st round- WR Dwight Jones – Has ideal size, speed, & hands that the Texans want from a #2 WR. He’s also played in a offensive system at UNC that is based off the Texans offense, so he already knows the terminology & route trees. This is a no brainer pick for the Texans
2nd round – NT Dontari Poe – Fits the mold of the planetoid NT Texans fans have been dreaming of for a long time & fills a glaring need in our defense.
3rd – ILB Tank Carter – The insurance plan the Texans need at ILB if Demeco Ryans & Daryl Sharpton don’t come back at full strength next season, or end up as cap casualties.

your lions pick in the 1rd should be kelechi osmele g/ot iowa state like the ss/fs pick but ithink the lions would pick him in the 2rd or go david wilson rb virgina teck because of best head injuerys this year . aso you our right the lions our paying raiola lot for the next 2years but i also donot think the lions gm will pass on the best center in this drarft in peter konz just to keep him out of the packers hands . plus if the lions did draft peter konz they could let him learn thier sytem for a year or if he is ready to play right way cut raiola and save saliory cap space . bu t idoulb he will get pass the dal or the bears in this draft so that why i went wilth kelechi osmele as my lions pick in the 1rd.
Well
I’d rather go wr first then a rb, i mean, i love trent richardson, but i’d rather te. I like curry though, although he wasn’t very good against top competition. I never heard of winston guy jr, but he’s a saftey, so good.

Eagles
I don’t see Zach Brown as much of a fit for the Eagles. What they need most right now is a run stopper. They get plenty of pass rush from the DLine already. I’d like to (and could) see them trade down if Kuechly isn’t there.
I don’t see them taking a tackle early either. Jason Peters is a deserving Pro Bowler at LT and as long as they re-sign Evan Mathis I don’t see Todd Herremans moving from RT. The offensive line is very solid and I’d be surprised if the Eagles spent a pick in the first three rounds on it.
49ers
Minnifield / Streeter / Nix
That’s a pretty poor draft considering who was available. I’d much rather go ahead and take Konz / Hayward / Taylor.
Every time Jamie Dukes says something enlightening and informative about football Jerry Rice and I mount up on our flying grizzly bears and claim pirate treasure from the moon. That's how often it happens.
Browns
I like the fact that you show RGIII dropping to #4, though we will trade out of that spot. We won’t take a QB this year due to a few things. I can see trading him to Washington for the #6 & #38 this year, and the 2nd & 4th in next years draft. At #6 we probably would take Blackmon, though I really want to take the best DE/LB (Kuechly – Burflict – Coples – Jenkins -Perry) available, then Minnefield CB at the Atlanta pick. 2nd Round #36, K Wright WR, & #38 D Jones WR. 3rd Round M Adams OT (for the right side). That would address many problems in the draft, along witht the fact the Browns have a huge cap space that they have to spend and there are some good FA to be signed, OG-Grubbs, WR-Jackson (either Vincent or Desean), LB-Williams, Spencer.
Smart drafting, and key FA signings, this team can reverse the curse.

This is a homerun draft for the Browns. I love it. We can hopefully pick up a FA WR or just grab a late round speedster.
