2012 NFL Mock Mock Draft (4-7-12)

Pick Team Player Pos. School

1 Indianapolis Colts

Cooper Manning

QB N/A

Yes, he's 38 years old and hasn't played football since high school. And yes, he

has a spinal disorder. But it's worth a shot, right?

2 Washington Redskins N/A N/A N/A

The Redskins forfeit their selection so they can save money for free agency.

Rumor has it, there could be a mediocre QB on the market they could overpay in

2013!

3 Minnesota Vikings Stephen Hill WR Georgia Tech

The Vikings need help all over their offense. Hill provides them with both a top

receiver and a very fast, big player to tackle opposing defensive backs after

they intercept Christian Ponder.

4 Cleveland Browns Bryan Anger P California

The Browns have holes at just about every offensive position. The best move

they can make is to take the consensus best punter and give their defense as

much yardage between the offense and the endzone as possible.

5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Brandon Weeden QB Oklahoma St.

In 2011 the Buccaneers were the youngest in the NFL on offense, defense and

special teams. Weeden, 28, will provide the team with the veteran leadership

they need.

6 St. Louis Rams Vontaze Burfict LB Arizona State

Now without Gregg Williams as defensive coordinator, the Rams will have to go

a different route to hurt all the star players in the NFC West, and that's by

drafting Burfict, who very well may be clinically insane.

7 Jacksonville Jaguars Devin Goda WR Slippery Rock

Bet you didn't think the Gene Smith would find his big playmaking WR at Slippery

Rock. Come on, don't act surprised.

8 Carolina Panthers Matt Kalil OT USC

Two Kalil's on one offensive line. Still no defense.

9 Miami Dolphins Patrick Witt QB Yale

While the Dolphins desperately need help at quarterback, they also need help in

the front office. A Yale graduate and Rhodes scholarship candidate can kill two

birds with one stone.

10 Buffalo Bills Mario Louis WR Grambling St.

ALL OF THE MARIOS!

11 Kansas City Chiefs Asa Chapman DT Liberty

The Chiefs need a nose tackle so they look to draft the largest man possible.

Chapman measured in at his pro day at 6-5, 386 pounds. That'll work.

12 Seattle Seahawks David Beckham K N/A

The Seahawks new uniforms are pretty atrocious. Drafting a guy like Beckham

might be their only chance to convince anyone otherwise.

13 Arizona Cardinals Rod Tidwell WR Arizona State

It's been a while since the Cardinals had any buzz around their franchise. Time

to bring back the excitement that Tidwell brought to the Cardinals. This time for

real.

14 Dallas Cowboys Shane Falco QB Ohio State

"Wait we can do that?" - Jerry Jones's reaction to the Cardinals selecting a

fictional character 13th overall. "Well then I want Falco...Just because."

15 Philadelphia Eagles Ryan Tannehill QB Texas A&M

"We were really looking hard for a not-so-good player that we could keep on the

bench for two seasons then trade to the Cardinals for a king's ransom."

16 New York Jets Trent Richardson RB Alabama

The Jets might as well fully turn their focus towards running the football.

17 Cincinnati Bengals Luke Kuechly LB Boston College

No one knows better than Jaguars fans that a hometown player sells tickets.

Kuechly is from Cincinnati and can come home to boost the ticket sales for the

team that sells the fewest tickets. (...wait, that's not the Jaguars?)

18 San Diego Chargers Bill Parcells HC/GM Wichita State

Norv Turner is still the head coach of the Chargers and A.J. Smith is still the

general manager. I rest my case.

19 Chicago Bears Doug Martin RB Boise State

"Because screw you Matt Forte."

20 Tennessee Titans Morris Claiborne CB LSU

Morris Claiborne's 4 on the Wonderlic is better than at least half of the population

of Tennessee could do on the test. Whether or not they all have learning

disabilities remains to be seen.

21 Cincinnati Bengals Janoris Jenkins CB North Alabama

The character concerns continue to mount for Jenkins and while the Bengals

have drafted good guys like Andy Dalton, the team has to be getting that itch for

someone like Jenkins to maintain the team reputation.

22 Cleveland Browns Justin Blackmon WR Oklahoma St.

"Justin Blackmon is going to make for the perfect gunner to pair with our 4th

overall selection, Bryan Anger. He might be able to contribute at receiver too."

23 Detroit Lions Carl Olivier-Prime LB Wagner

Although, Olivier-Prime didn't declare for the draft and is considered an after-

thought for the 2013 NFL Draft, the Lions are very excited about all the marketing

possibilities available by having Megatron and a Prime on the same team.

24 Pittsburgh Steelers Michael Floyd WR Notre Dame

Now that Hines Ward is gone, Ben Roethlisberger told the front office that he

needs a new drinking buddy. Don't worry, Floyd won't be the one driving, Ben will

bring the motorcycle.

25 Denver Broncos Fletcher Cox DT Mississippi St.

"While everyone continues to hate me for the Tebow thing, I'm just going to go

ahead and keep making excellent decisions." - John Elway

26 Houston Texans J.J. Di Luigi RB BYU

Luigi is the cooler Super Mario brother anyway.

27 New England Patriots Andrew Luck QB Stanford

28 Green Bay Packers Melvin Ingram OLB South Carolina

"Son of a..." - Matt Stafford, Jay Cutler and Christian Ponder

29 Baltimore Ravens Justin Tucker K Texas

Tucker says he is the best kicker in the draft which is perfect for the team with

the best quarterback in the NFL. That and getting rid of Billy Cundiff makes this a

match made in heaven.

30 San Francisco 49ers Elvis Akpla WR Montana State

Little known NFL fact: In 1968 Dick Nolan lost a bet to then-Colts head coach Don

Shula that forces the 49ers to draft every NFL player named Elvis. Akpla joins

Elvis Grbac as only the second player in history to be affected by the bet.

31 New England Patriots Robert Griffin III QB Baylor

32 New York Giants Quinton Coples DE North Carolina
