2012 NFL Mock Mock Draft (4-7-12)
|
Pick
| Team | Player | Pos. | School |
1 | | | 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 | | | 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 | | | 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 | | | 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 | | | 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 | | | 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 | | | 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 | | | Matt Kalil | OT | USC |
Two Kalil's on one offensive line. Still no defense. |
9 | | | 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 | | | Mario Louis | WR | Grambling St. |
ALL OF THE MARIOS! |
11 | | | 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 | | | 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 | | | Rod Tidwell | WR | Arizona State |
|
14 | | | 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 | | | 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 | | | Trent Richardson | RB | Alabama |
The Jets might as well fully turn their focus towards running the football. |
17 | | | 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 | | | 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 | | | Doug Martin | RB | Boise State |
|
20 | | | 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 | | | 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 | | | 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 | | | 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 | | | J.J. Di Luigi | RB | BYU |
Luigi is the cooler Super Mario brother anyway. |
27 | | | Andrew Luck | QB | Stanford |
Belichick honestly probably would draft both Luck and RG3 and flip one of them for 3 first round picks. |
28 | | | Melvin Ingram | OLB | South Carolina |
"Son of a..." - Matt Stafford, Jay Cutler and Christian Ponder |
29 | | | Justin Tucker | K | Texas |
|
30 | | | 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 | | | Quinton Coples | DE | North Carolina |
ALL OF THE SACKS! |
