2012 NFL Mock Draft

[YessSir32]

Does anybody want to chime in with their teams needs as I could use some help in the area

Lions- Offensive line and Linebacker

[tj4eck]

no new mock just yet....still looking for more 'team neeeds' input

[NEW.ERA]

I don't think the Packers need to go offensive line First Round for a third straight year. Gotta develop some good rush ends. So best available Defensive End in my book.

I disagree, they should go Secondary this year.

[ADW77]

The Broncos needs aren't blatantly obvious (at least as far as what to go in the first round, since last draft they went BPA). They could find use for players at the following positions; cornerback, safety, defensive tackle, quarterback, running back. The offensive line is fine, depth may be necessary, but not something to grab in the first round. I could see them drafting a receiver or two, but again, probably not in the first round. My guess would be either cornerback or depending on Tebow, quarterback.

[Island_Style]

Unless the Jags address it in FA, WR WILL be their first pick.

[crashcarson15]

Browns need a playmaker of some sort. Probably a quarterback, but could also use a running back or a receiver.

32. Packers: Whitney Mercilus, DE/OLB, Illinois

[NEW.ERA]

If Mercilus falls to the Pack. My lord, that'd be sweet!

[BigEd76]

-- As hyped as RG3 is, I don't see him going #2 overall.....more like 6-10 range

-- If the Rams stay at #2, I think Blackmon has to be a lock there

-- The Eagles' pick depends on DeSean. If they franchise and keep him, they won't go for another WR. This might be the first time since 1979 that they take a LB in the first round (Kuechly)

[DDR]

I agree. #2 overall is too high for RGIII. I think Matt Kalil is a lock at #2, no matter who picks there. Blackmon is great, but you don't draft a WR at #2 unless he's a transcendent player...not #1 WR on your team good, but more like top 5 WR in the league good.

I'd love Mercilus to GB from a number of angles (not least of which is that I'm an Illinois alum), but I just don't think he's that NFL-good. I see him as more of a late 2nd-rounder, situational pass rusher.

[rams80]

If the Rams trade out of the 2 spot and only have a 2nd next year to show for it...well the Rams' GM might be one of the shortest tenured in league history.

[BigEd76]

Blackmon is great, but you don't draft a WR at #2 unless he's a transcendent player...not #1 WR on your team good, but more like top 5 WR in the league good.

Like Calvin Johnson going #2 and Larry Fitzgerald and Andre Johnson going #3? You don't think Blackmon will be as good as those guys?

32.Giants: Dont'a Hightower, LB, Alabama

[NEW.ERA]

The Packers don't need a Defensive Tackle, but who knows? Maybe Capers leaves and they drop the 3-4. DE is the biggest need.

[chuckymack]

I can almost guarantee the Bengals will be taking a halfback in Round One. Benson's contract is up, and the Bengals need someone who can take the heat off of Dalton.

[Saintsfan]

Doesn't seem likely that the Vikings, Browns, Redskins, Jags, Panthers all pass on Robert Griffin right now. Frankly it's more likely the Colts take Griffin at number 1, though Luck is probably a better fit for the Colts, being more like Manning as a pocket passing QB.

Where are you getting this? I've never heard anything else than Luck @1

Well Dungy said he would take Griffin before Luck. It's not going to happen, but neither is a bunch of teams with a need at QB passing on Griffin.

All of these teams drafted a QB in the first round last year. And the last of the panthers' need id QB. I think Shanahan is going to make a run for Matt Flynn or Kyle Orton in the offseason, so no QB for the 'Skins. As for the Browns, I don't think they could evaluate McCoy properly when he had no offensive weapons whatsoever. I think they get a RB and a WR, just to see what they have in McCoy, and if McCoy isn't the guy, they can take a Qb in a loaded '12 class, who will have a RB,a WR, and a solid defense.
