2012 NFL Mock Mock Draft

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

ALL OF THE SACKS!
