2012 NFL Mock Draft Update: Colts Still NFL’s Worst

For this mock draft, I will use the order from NEPatriotsDraft.com, where they have a new mock draft out as well.

For all of our scouting reports on these players and more click here (75+ scouting reports up already)

1. Indianapolis Colts: Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford

No surprise here. Peyton Manning’s immediate and distant future are in doubt in Indy. Andrew Luck will not sit a down.

2. Miami Dolphins: Matt Barkley, QB, USC

Dolphins don’t get Luck, but they get a really good one in Matt Barkley.

3. St. Louis Rams: Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU

Rams get the best defender in the draft, even though it’s extremely rare to see corners taken before the fifth pick. Claiborne could be special.

4. Arizona Cardinals: Matt Kalil, OT, USC

Elite left tackle prospect who will help protect the blind side of Kevin Kolb–if he lasts.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars: Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State

Jags get a big time red zone and touchdown threat in Justin Blackmon. He is a top tier WR prospect.

6. Carolina Panthers: Alshon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina

Panthers get a big target to help develop one of the up-and-coming stars in the NFL in Cam Newton.

7. Seattle Seahawks: Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor

Griffin is a stud, and can hurt you in so many ways. He will be a great fit with Seattle.

8. Minnesota Vikings: Jonathan Martin, OL, Stanford

Martin will help protect the blind side of Christian Ponder, who looks like he has the tools to be Minnesota’s franchise QB.

9. Washington Redskins: Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M

Shocker–Mike Shanahan goes with an athletic QB who can make plays on the run. Just throwing this out there as a possibility.

10. Cleveland Browns: Zach Brown, LB, North Carolina

Extremely fast linebacker who has potential to be a great pass rusher as well. Very versatile, excellent pick for the Browns.

11. Denver Broncos: Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama

Broncos get a big time RB to go along with Willis McGahee and help Tim Tebow develop.

12. Philadelphia Eagles: Vontaze Burfict, LB, Arizona State

Eagles get a hard-hitting linebacker prospect who is extremely talented.

13. Tennessee Titans: Dre’ Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama

Big, athletic cornerback prospect who has loads of potential and fits in well with the Titans’ physical defense.

14. Dallas Cowboys: Alfonzo Dennard, CB, Nebraska

Cowboys get a steal here with Dennard, who is a versatile CB prospect and has shut-down ability.

15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Quinton Coples, DL, North Carolina

Great talent that falls here, Coples could play DT for the Bucs and give them some sick pass rush options.

16. Kansas City Chiefs: Riley Reiff, OL, Iowa

Reiff is blue-collar and a mauler at the left tackle position. Can play either side and has solid athletic ability. Well-coached.
