2012 NFL Mock Draft: Valentine's Day Edition

And then we got something awesome in the real thing. They can mock us Allen, we’ll end up with Melvin Ingram or something lol

Just not Nix’s style. He values his picks too much to give up a 2nd just to move up 3 spots. In his two drafts with the Bills he has a combined time on the clock for his first round picks of like 6 seconds. Defiantly not the type of guy who is going to do a lot of trading.

If one or two of Cleveland, Washington or Miami aren’t pursuing a trade, that trade looks fair & makes sense, and I don’t think it’s beyond them to do it. It also assumes Seattle will pick 12th; 50-50 chance they get 11th instead.

But I’m expecting one of them to also look to trade up, and that probably seals it for Seattle. I’m basing this on the notion that Manning goes to a new team, which paired with Flynn eliminates two teams. But since Oakland is not far behind Miami as a landing spot for Flynn, there could still be two others in front of us.

Of course Washington could like Tannehill. But best-case scenario is we’d be competing against one other interested party.

I’m trying to figure out the reason to jump ahead of you guys. If Coples is there do the Panthers take him so unquestionably that we would have to jump ahead?

who is available in this mock

truth be told, I have a gut feeling Kendall Wright might be more likely for the Jaguars even if both were available and Jags were going WR.

I just want someone to catch the ball

baalke and harbaugh

I knew he was stupid, but it still kind of put the idea in my head. Every year it seems like there’s a team that thinks they’re a player away from being champions.

Except he goes by the name of Michael Crabtree

I doubt if he would ask for that much..Providing the lineman he wants isn’t there..But 20 spots is a hell of a drop..

if anything, you’ll be trying to jump back into the first to pick up a QB so that matt cassel can be resigned to backup where he belongs.

chiefs then would go with cassell at QB this year and next year try to package picks for there QB of the future. exactly the kind of trade I could see the chiefs doing.

With Alshon Jeffery still on the board, I could see the Texans going in that direction before trading back

I’d rather they trade up into the early teens to grab DeCastro or Kirkpatrick in this scenario.

Normally, I would say that you are absolutely correct. However, Reid’s job is truly on the line for the first time ever this season, so he has a lot riding on it, and will get crushed by the fans/media if he doesn’t take a linebacker and the linebackers underperform again this year. The only way I see him not taking a linebacker is of Jackson does not come back and a premier wr is available, or someone like coples drops. Reid is pretty strange with his drafts, though (26 year old guard in the first last year who many drafts had projected to the eagles….in the third.), and a lot obviously depends on what they do in free agency.

or about the equivalent of a 3rd round pick.

3rd overall is not 1st overall. Chargers dropped down to 4th. And the Giants’ ransom was a bit atypical; it’s unreasonable to expect any trade to approximate that one.

Griffin’s pretty lucrative and if he drops to 3rd there may be enough competition that Minnesota can command more than that deal, but that’s a fair deal. What you’re asking for amounts to about what it would take to trade up to 1st overall in a non-Andrew Luck draft. It’s pretty unreasonable to expect that.
