2012 nfl mock draft

NFL mock draft 2012
(First NFL draft and my predictions)

1. Dolphins: luck ( Miami always loves a flashy player and luck is the biggest in the last 100 years it seems they'll trade whatever to get him in my opinion)

2. Rams: kalil ( rams need to protect there huge investment in bradford and pave way for Jackson)

3. Vikings: Claiborne ( I know ill get backlash for not choosing a wr and marking him so high but i something about him fits the Vikings for me and its probably because there secondary is awful and they can address that situation in few agency)

4. Jags: blackmon ( he could have gone higher but no team needs a wr as bad as the the jags because regardless if the coaching staff stays or leaves in Jacksonville the organization has to prove gabbert isn't a bust give him a wide out like black on and they'll know)

5. Panthers: coples ( Rivera has been thinking about switching to a 3-4 and regardless if he does or doesn't he gets a college hometown type of guy who can bring depth along the lb corp or dline the panthers would be foolish to skip him here and opt for wr when there are adequate wr in free agency)

6. Colts: rieff ( this pick will likely have everyone scratching there heads but I see this as very likely again my opinion but I believe manning has done to much for the organization to let him walk and if they do he'll be a free agent and they have too many needs to think luck is the savior, trading down getting more picks is a smarter move and maybe in the second you can get tannehill also barkely, griffin or Jones seem like too eager of players to want to sit behind manning for four more years while luck gets the opportunity to start from day one lol guess well see in April.

7. Redskins: barkely (one of my 2 favorite teams have lacked a qb for quite some time regardless if shannahan is still the coach barkely fits the skins more than griffin and Jones because with Griffin you need an excellent run game to effectively make play action plays while Jones still needs some maturing but not much)

8. Cards: j. Martin ( they made a huge investment in bringing kolb in and right now its proving costly they may have beat the cowboys but were not going to see much more of that if the O line isnt solidified)

9. Eagles: d. Still ( everyone thinks they'll pick another linebacker I say there going to pick another dt because still's is not only shooting up the boards but he can create the pressure that Patterson has been lacking also by getting still's there looking at a pretty great d line that will take pressure off of the lb's and cb's making better overall team also eagles have a history of getting oline or dline players I don't expect that to decline now)

10. Kc: Kirkpatrick (I have the chiefs selecting kp because flowers and Carr contracts are almost up they'll only be able to retain one so this solidifies there cb corps again and he is the safest option current lb's would be a stretch and they don't need a we so this seems like the logical pick to me)

11. Seahawks: griffin 3 ( I have the Seahawks getting a true steal at this point in griffin because last year the main reason Carroll wanted Jackson was his mobility, griffin brings that and more and compliment with Marshawn lynch your looking at play maker heaven alot of people are mocking a wr or Landry Jones here I don't see it because they can address we in free agency and Landry Jones just doesn't fit there scheme to me it looks nice when you see it but it just ends badly)

12. Browns: Richardson ( getting Richardson solidifies most of the problems the browns have had this year inconsistency at rb and yes he'll need a wide out as well but they have two picks this is just a no brainer)

13. SD: Floyd ( its 90% likely vj is on his way out of SD and gates just isn't the go to guy he use to be and the other wideouts are non existent it seems so rivers needs a fresh new option and Floyd gives him just that I don't really see how they can mock anyone else because this addresses there biggest need or maybe I don't watch enough of there games)

14. TB: dennard ( I have a feeling this guy is going to shoot up the boards and he just seems to fit there biggest need they could go else where with this pick but they need this guy he's underrated)

15. Bills: Jeffery ( if he happens to fall this low they have to grab him I gave Floyd the higher spot because to me he's better and also bills need him because they offered Fitzpatrick a huge contract why I don't know but hey you have to protect that investment and this guy does just that plus Stevie might not be in a bills uniform next year)

16. Titans: decastro ( they need him to pave the way for Johnson and also to protect there current investment in hasselback and future investment in locker)

17. Jets: z. Brown ( jets are really in need of some linebackers and brown is surging up boards its a mystery of whether he'll truly fit Ryan's style but when you have talent like he does some how it usually works with a Carolina player)

18. Giants: kuechly ( just like the jets the giants need some linebackers and since they missed out on brown they go kuechly and he fits pretty well with there system regardless of what lb they get this year they need one and I think kuechly is that guy)

19. Broncos: upshaw ( this is probably a shocker to some because he seems like the type of guy the jets like and he is its just due to browns surge up upshaw happens to fall and he lands in a good place alot of people can see them going corner but I just doubt it j. Fox has been looking for pressure since he got to Denver and when though Von miller  and ayers has provided plenty he knows massive rush is needed to turn this organization around this pick allows dummervil to move to due or upshaw however he adjust to the scheme either way broncos will lead the league in sacks if the get this guy and others say qb like Landry Jones but nope the fans won't allow it tebow may not be the best qb but he wins and any fan like a that you cabt draft a qb when your starter is 6-1 the fans will outrage)

20. Lions: manti teo ( lions would've love to grab brown but they grab there biggest need in a linebacker and to some he's the best linebacker in the draft this is quite the steal)

21. Browns: k. Wright ( to me no other wr is worthy of 1st round consideration wright may even seem like a stretch but not only can he stretch the ball down the field with catching he'd give the browns another option in pr/ kr and the browns would finally have a very good offense with colt, Richardson, wright and so on at this point the browns have nothing to really lose)

22. Bengals: janoris Jenkins ( he's one of the remaining if not the only remain cb worth taking on the 1st and with a great young offense now the Bengals need to revamp there defense Jenkins has character concerns but that hasn't stopped the Bengals yet from picking up talent this is a really good steal if this pans out like I think it will)

23. Bears: Cordy glen: his stock is rising but with so many play makers I see him falling or rising to this pick because the bears really need to solidify this line last years pick isn't enough it helped but with glen it helps protect Cutler and helps forte greatly alot of people can see konz here but I think glen just fits better with there scheme although konz is just as good or even better in some peoples eyes)

24. Texans: peter konz ( the Texans will love the fact the bears will take glen because although chris Myers is doing well its foster and Williams contract year so I see Myers as the odd man out in this situation they would love to keep him but his price will be too high)

25. Bengals: Lamar miller ( he completes the most talented young offense in the league starting to fear more than just the ravens if my mock is correct for the division but miller complements Benson if they choose to keep Benson if not they have miller who can start day one looking pretty good for the Bengals if you ask me)

26. Cowboys: Landry Jones ( I feel like everyone's over looking how obvious this pick is and im a redskins fan lol or maybe there just over rating Jones too much but a high profile and talented player slipping this low without Jerry Jones not getting him i'll be shocked this gives Dallas there franchise qb of the future who promo can groom romo is 31 people and people already say he sucks Jones gives the organization ease because not only will Jones compliment there offense well he has the potential to help them sell out shows and have an actual great qb since aikman, cowboys dive all over this pick and Landry jones even though they could use this pick on secondary or a lb no one has more potential like jones.

27. Ravens: hightower (after watching more and more footage I'm starting to think he may be the best lb in this class and maybe the biggest steal, this pick allows high tower to play next to Lewis and eventually become his replacement and it gives the ravens a new face of the organization I mean flacco isn't doing well enough right now to consider a online pick even if Ben grubs walks over to the bank I mean free agency.

28. 49ers: Alameda ta'amu ( this seems like a no brainer to me but I haven't seen anyone mock of anywhere which is shocking because Alameda is the best nt/dt of this draft and with sopaoaga getting older along with smith he gives them depth to eventually be the anchor for there great defense I know oline issues could be addressed but when your looking at another great steal in this draft I think you can ignore it or address it later or get someone in free agency, we all know San Fran's defense is winning those games so why not solidy another good season with Alameda.

29. Pats: chase minnifield ( pats nearly lost to the colts this year and orlovsky passed for over 300 yards with only missing 7 passes somethings wrong with cb's that go to the pats they just shut down after a season or never start up at all)

30. Pats: Brandon Thompson ( I have a feeling the pats are going to go dline and I have a feeling Brandon is going to soar up boards pretty soon so this is another steal and Andre Carter as well as Alex brown are getting old they need youth on the line)

31. Steelers: mike Adams ( yes this is my favorite team along with The skins and I don't think were going to lose to the super bowl to the pack again but you can never predict football games and with the packs score its only right to rate them as the number one team as for Adams Steelers need all the help they can get on the oline Gilbert and pounce can do but so much)

32. Packers: Whitney mercillus ( this pick I'm still unsure about but its only because burfict has not been choosen yet and even though some see him as the perfect ray Lewis 2.0 I see red flags everywhere he's talented yes but his temper and unsportsman like conduct has me picking merciluss over burfict plus to me mercillus addresses two needs if they want to use him at de they can or if they want to use him at the other lb spot across from Matthews they can as well so to me mercillus is the better and safer option especially since bishop and hawk were resigned if they were to pick up burfict either hawk or bishop would move to other lb. But again I just see mercillus he's just to diverse of a player and if they happen to win the Superbowl I have a feeling McCarthy is going to have his players behaving more on good conduct and classy

Hope you enjoyed my mock draft its my first. I just feel like these are the pucks that will go down in april. I could be wrong though and ill clearly see your point if you explain it to me but I think my mock gives everyone the player they need and want until next time thanks for reading and later
