Mock Draft 2012 1st Round (Superbowl edition)

Here is the Superbowl Edition of mocknfldrafts.blogspot.com. Feel free to leave your comments below

#1 - Indianapolis, Andrew Luck QB, Stanford (underclassman)
Needs: CB, DT, OT, QB - BPA vs Need Quotient=5.7
It looks more and more likely Peyton Manning won’t be a Colt in 2012, either way Luck is going number #1.

#2 - St Louis, TRADE with Miami, Robert Griffin III-Quarterback, Baylor
Needs: ROT, DE, OL, TE, FS - BNQ=3.4
The rumours are rife that someone will deal with Jeff Fisher and St Louis for a host of draft picks to ensure RGIII heads their way. We like Miami to make a play but Washington, Kansas City and Seattle are also in the mix.

#3 Minnesota, Morris Claiborne-Cornerback, LSU (underclassman)
Needs: CB, DB, DT, LOT, WR - BNQ=2.7
Minnesota reached last year to get Ponder and may go back to the well for Justin Blackmon but the receiver has some off-field concerns and the Vikings could do worse than get an immediate starter in Claiborne to assist their horrible secondary.

#4 Cleveland, Matt Kalil-Offensive Tackle, USC (underclassman)
Needs: QB, ROT, RB, WR, DB - BNQ=4.0
They may like Riley Reiff more or even Trent Richardson or Justin Blackmon but at this stage we will predict Holmgren makes the safe bet in Kalil. If RGIII fell to them they may take that chance also but don’t expect them to trade up for him.

Mock Draft 2012 2nd Round (Superbowl edition)

Here is Round 2 of this week's mock draft...

#33 - St. Louis, Fletcher Cox-Defensive End/Tackle, Mississippi State
The Rams need a DT and Cox has a first round grade on him so hard to see them passing him up on day 2 of the draft.

#34 - Indianapolis, Janoris Jenkins-Cornerback, North Alabama
Someone will take a chance on Jenkins to overcome off-field issues, and it may occur here if not before. Other choices are a DT or OL but none are rated as highly as Jenkins.

#35 - Minnesota, Mohamed Sanu-Wide Receiver, Rutgers (underclassman)
The Vikings already upgraded at CB and now try to do the same at WR. Sanu has good hands, is smart and will get open and is just what new QB Christian Ponder needs opposite Percy Harvin.

#36 - Tampa Bay, Zach Brown-Outside Linebacker, North Carolina
The Bucs like Brown to upgrade their linebacking corps and is good value at the top of the second round.

Mock Draft 2012 1st Round (Conf Final edition)

Take a look at our mock draft for this week as of the Conference Championship Games.

#1 - Indianapolis, Andrew Luck QB, Stanford (underclassman)
Needs: CB, OT, DT - BPA vs Need Quotient=5.7
Breaking news has Andrew Luck going to the Colts, wow. Not really so breaking, owner Jim Irsay says he is taking Luck, they may trade him or the pick if Manning is healthy but otherwise Luck remains the number 1 draft choice for 2012.

#2 - St Louis, Matt Kalil-Offensive Tackle, USC (underclassman)
Needs: CB, OLB, DT, OT - BNQ=4.5
Some people think the Rams will draft Justin Blackmon but the need at tackle is just so great we can’t see them passing up Kalil for anybody (unless a super trade occurs). With Barkley returning to USC, Kalil is the undisputed number 2 on the board and will be just what St Louis need to help QB Sam Bradford stay upright.

#3 Minnesota, Justin Blackmon-Wide Receiver, Oklahoma State
Needs: WR, DB, OL - BNQ=2.7
Minnesota like to take their guy as evidenced with the shock pick of Christian Ponder at #12 overall last year. Now they can go get Ponder some help with Blackmon who should be there unless the Rams pass up their tackle need for a receiver. If so Kalil becomes the likely pick here or CB Morris Claiborne, another Viking need.

#4 Miami, TRADE with Cleveland, Robert Griffin III-Quarterback, Baylor (underclassman)
Needs: QB, DT, ILB, OL - BNQ=3.4
We’ve had Miami missing on RGIII and taking WR Michael Floyd instead but Griffin may be too tempting to pass up and a trade with Cleveland at the right price is now a more likely scenario.

Mock Draft 2012 2nd Round (Conf Final edition)

#33 - St. Louis, Fletcher Cox-Defensive End/Tackle, Mississippi State
The Rams need a DT and Cox has a first round grade on him so hard to see them passing him up on day 2 of the draft.

#34 - Indianapolis, Jared Crick-Defensive End/Defensive Tackle, Nebraska
Indy have needs at D-Line as well as corner or O-Line and maybe even running back. Crick is highly regarded and can play either end or tackle which should be enough for the Colts to pull the trigger.

#35 - Minnesota, Chase Minnifield-Cornerback/Kick Returner, Virginia
The Vikes need serious help CB and Minnifield is a guy that could rise the boards before too long with excellence intangibles and ability as a kick returner. Minnesota have Percy Harvin but may want to use him more in the offense and less in special teams. Either way this seems like a good choice for a team that likes to pick need first.

Mock Draft 2012 2nd Round (Div Playoffs edition)

Here is the 2nd round of our Mock Draft for this week...

#33 - St. Louis, Lavonte David-Outside Linebacker, Nebraska
We like the look of David out of Nebraska and he projects as an outside linebacker in a 4-3 which is a need for the Rams.

#34 - Indianapolis, Jared Crick-Defensive End/Defensive Tackle, Nebraska
Indy have needs at D-Line as well as corner or O-Line and maybe even running back. Crick is highly regarded and can play either end or tackle which should be enough for the Colts to pull the trigger.

#35 - Minnesota, Chase Minnifield-Cornerback/Kick Returner, Virginia

Mock Draft 2012 1st Round (Div Playoffs edition)

Our standings remain the same after Wildcard Weekend but the picks have changed quite dramatically! Amazing what a week does, especially as we see which underclassmen declare and which return to college.

#1 - Indianapolis, Andrew Luck QB, Stanford (underclassman)
Needs: CB, OT, DT - BPA vs Need Quotient=5.7
Breaking news has Andrew Luck going to the Colts, wow. Not really so breaking, owner Jim Irsay says he is taking Luck, they may trade him or the pick if Manning is healthy but otherwise Luck remains the number 1 draft choice for 2012.

#2 - St Louis, Matt Kalil-Offensive Tackle, USC (underclassman)

With Barkley returning to USC, Kalil is the undisputed number 2 on the board and will be just what St Louis need to help QB Sam Bradford stay upright.

#3 Minnesota, Justin Blackmon-Wide Receiver, Oklahoma State
Needs: WR, DB, OL - BNQ=2.7
Minnesota like to take their guy as evidenced with the shock pick of Christian Ponder at #12 overall last year. Now they can go get Ponder some help with Blackmon who should be there unless the Rams pass up their tackle need for a receiver. If so Kalil becomes the likely pick here or CB Morris Claiborne.

#4 Cleveland, TRADE with Miami, Robert Griffin III-Quarterback, Baylor (underclassman)
Needs: QB, DT, ILB, OL - BNQ=3.4
We’ve had Miami missing on RGIII and taking WR Michael Floyd instead but Griffin may be too tempting to pass up and a trade with Cleveland at the right price is now a more likely scenario.

Mock Draft 2012 2nd Round (Wildcard edition)

Here is Round 2 of the Mock Draft for 2012 as of Wildcard Weekend

#33 - St. Louis, Lavonte David-Outside Linebacker, Nebraska
We like the look of David out of Nebraska and he projects as an outside linebacker in a 4-3 which is a need for the Rams.

#34 - Indianapolis, Jared Crick-Defensive End/Defensive Tackle, Nebraska

Mock Draft 2012 1st Round (Wildcard edition)

Take a look at our mock draft for this week based upon the draft order as of wildcard weekend

#1 - Indianapolis, Andrew Luck QB, Stanford (underclassman)
Needs: CB, OT, DT - BPA vs Need Quotient=5.7
Still got Andrew Luck out of Stanford going here despite it being a secondary need for the Colts and a change at GM level could mean a change in tack. They do need Offensive Line help and Matt Kalil could be an option but realistically the Colts won’t pass up Luck unless it is via a trade. The only question left is whether Manning will be dealt and how will that affect the draft order if he does?

#2 - St Louis, Matt Kalil-Offensive Tackle, USC (underclassman)
Needs: CB, OLB, DT, OT - BNQ=4.5
Some people think The Rams will draft the best player at a position of need. They also need help in lots of areas including cornerback and wide receiver where Morris Claiborne and Justin Blackmon will come under consideration however Kalil is now the undisputed number 2 on the board and will be just what St Louis need to help QB Sam Bradford stay upright.

#3 Minnesota, Justin Blackmon-Wide Receiver, Oklahoma State
Needs: WR, DB, OL - BNQ=2.7
Minnesota like to take their guy as evidenced with the shock pick of Christian Ponder at #12 overall last year. Now they can go get Ponder some help with Blackmon who also happens to be one of the best players on the board, seems like a nice match.

#4 Cleveland, Riley Reiff-Offensive Tackle, Iowa (underclassman)
Needs: RB, ROT, WR - BNQ=4.0
Holmgren has not been tempted by the flashy choices since taking over at Cleveland and will probably shun the skill positions for either more draft picks with a trade or a right tackle. We are still thinking Trent Richardson may go here especially if Peyton Hillis isn’t kept but right now safe is the option in Reiff.
