2012 Mack Draft 1.0


1- IND: Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
No-brainer! Not fair either.

2 - WAS: Robert Griffin, QB, Baylor
Some say he should be the #1. Let's hope for the Colts sake they didn't give up Peyton for the #2 guy.

3 - MIN: Matt Kalil, OT, USC
Whoever the Vikings QB circus chooses as the ringleader, he will need a lot of protection. Will he be Matt Barkleys starting LT next year?

4 - CLE: Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama
They have many needs, especially on defense, but this guy is to good to pass up although Claiborne would make sense here as well.

5 - TB: Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU
Perfect match for the Bucs. He has the best ball skills in the draft.

6 - STL: Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State
Giving up RG3 for picks galore should fill holes galore for Rams.

7 - JAX: Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis
If they don't go with Tannehill they need major D help. Poe was a combine warrior but with speed and size this guys hard to pass up.

8 - MIA: Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame
Some say Tannehill is the guy here after losing out on a number of FA QBs but is he a top 10 pick?

9 - CAR: Michael Brockers, DT, LSU
Brockers is a big tough guy that would fit in a 4-3 or a 3-4 scheme. I believe he is better than Poe but his combine slotted him 2nd for most teams.

10 - BUF: Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa
Buffalo would be very happy if Reiff fell to them here. With Michael Floyd off the board this is a no brainer.

11 - KC: Luke Kuechly, LB, Boston College
This guy is gonna be a beast and can QB a team's defense for years. The next Brian Urlacher.

12 - SEA: Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina
A defensive pass rusher is a big need for this team. This guy will be the first of many DEs to start coming off the board.

13 - ARI: David DeCastro, OG, Stanford
This guy is gonna be a pro-bowler for years to come. He is a cerebral guy who has a nasty side which works well for a road-grater type OL.

14 - DAL: Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama
Despite off the field issues the Cowboys take a flyer on this guy. He is physical CB such as C. Finnegan and D. Reves but doesnt quite have the ball skills. SS Mark Barron is another option here.

15 - PHI: Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina
One of the most coveted pass-rushers in this draft. He is a hybrid type that can do all sorts of things.

16 - NYJ: Mark Barron, SS, Alabama
The Jets need more weapons on offense but Rex is going to find it hard enough to pass up on a pass rusher with this pick. Question is do you want Eric Smith starting in the secondary again?

17 - CIN: Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford
Andy Dalton was a nice suprise last year. A guy to help protect his butt would be the wide move here.

18 - SD: Nick Perry, DE, USC
A hometown guy with this pick would make San Diego happy.

19 - CHI: Whitney Mercilus, DE, Illinois
Led the FBS with 9 forced fumbles in 2011. He is a solid pass rusher for a D that needs to improve. Another hometown pick.

20 - TEN: Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina
Tennesee has 2 experienced CBs on their roster. They need more depth at the position.

21 - CIN: Stephen Hill, WR, Georgia Tech
Kendall Wright or Stephen Hill? I say Kendall Wright so the Bengals will go with Hill. They need a legit #2 WR.

22 - CLE: Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M
They are esactic this guy falls to them. In the right system this guy would sit for a year but the Browns may not have that luxery.

23 - DET: Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama
Three arrests, one failed drug test, one bar fight, two different college programs and four kids, all age 3 or younger. Worked for A. Cromartie and this kids got to much athleticism to pass up.

24 - PIT: Lavonte David, OLB, Nebraska
The Steelers need another stud in the middle. This guy has all the tools to be the next great steel curtain LB

25 - DEN: Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State
Peyton may decide to trump this pick for TE C. Fleener but otherwise the DT position needs depth.

26 - HOU: Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor
Houston would love nothing more than to pair this guy up opposite of Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson would love it as well.

27 - NE: Dont'a Hightower, LB, Alabama
If they decide to hold onto this pick they just get another solid playmaker.

28 - GB: Andre Branch, DE, Clemson
Long armed player with great closing speed and initial quickness.

29 - BAL: Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin
The Ravens have some holes on the OL. Peter Konz and OG Cordy Glenn are their top choices.

30 - SF: Cordy Glenn, OG, Georgia
The 49ers are in a good spot being able to draft the best player avaliable in the draft. Might as well beef up a good OL with another good player.

31 - NE: Courtney Upshaw, ILB, Alabama
One of the biggest fallers in the draft. A risky player so I'm not sold that NE takes him but he is still a 1st round talent.

32 - NYG: Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford
If this guy is here the Giants and Eli Manning are overcome with joy.
