Why So Serious's Seriously Wise Mock Draft 2012 v1

Well boys and girls (hopefully), looks like Double A has left us for greener pastures. Interesting.

Not as intertesting as this though (I hope), here is the first version of my annual mock draft of the first round. Take your stabs, it is likely not the first version, depending on what other information I come across as I emerge from my cave into the bright, squint inducing light of day.

Having going through many mocks and read many articles, I have to say that I do not envy the position Theodore faces this year. Regardless of how many times I mock it out he has his work cut out for him because the guys that are true value picks as well as guys I believe in as future Pro Bowl quality players just seem to be gone at 28. That leaves me with the hope that Double T is the aggressive Ted that I love so much rather than the more pasive version that makes me want to pull my hair out.

Here she goes:

1 Indianapolis Colts 22 Andrew Luck QB Stanford
2 Washington Redskins 10 Robert Griffin III QB Baylor
3 Minnesota Vikings 12 Matt Kalil OT USC
4 Cleveland Browns 6 Trent Richardson RB Alabama
5 Tampa Bay Bucanneers 20 Morris Claiborne CB LSU
6 St. Louis Rams 12 Justin Blackmon WR Oklahoma St.
7 Jacksonville Jaguars 16 Reilly Reiff OT Iowa
8 Miami Dolphins 15 Ryan Tannehill QB Texas A&M
9 Carolina Panthers 1 Dontari Poe NT Memphis
10 Buffalo Bills 3 Quentin Coples DE North Carolina
11 Kansas City Chiefs 21 Michael Brockers DT LSU
12 Seattle Seahawks 25 Luke Kuechly LB Boston College
13 Arizona Cardinals 5 Johnathon Martin OT Stanford
14 Dallas Cowboys 9 David DeCastro G Stanford
15 Philadelphia Eagles 23 Michael Brockers DT LSU
16 New York Jets 30 Melvin Ingram DE South Carolina
17 Cincinnati Bengals 4 Dre Kirkpatrick CB Alabama
18 San Diego Chargers 18 Cordy Glenn OT Georgia
19 Chicago Bears 29 Stephen Gilmore CB South Carolina
20 Tennessee Titans 8 Fletcher Cox DT Mississippi
21 Cincinnati Bengals - David DeCastro G Stanford
22 Cleveland Browns - Courtney Upshaw DE Alabama
23 Detroit Lions 13 Janoris Jenkins CB North Alabama
24 Pittsburgh Steelers 31 Mike Adams OT Ohio State
25 Denver Broncos 2 Jerel Worthy DT Michigan State
26 Houston Texans 11 Stephen Hill WR Georgia Tech
27 New England Patriots 17 Devon Still DT Penn State
28 Green Bay Packers 32 Whitney Mercilus LB Illinois
29 Baltimore Ravens 26 Don’t'a Hightower LB Alabama
30 San Francisco 49'ers 7 Kendall Wright WR Baylor
31 New England Patriots 28 David Wilson RB Virginia Tech
32 New York Giants 19 Coby Fleener TE Stanford


Poke at it, spin it, twist it, turn it and let's get the serious chatter running on.

You have Brockers and DeCastro in there twice, Serious. Brockers is one of the more interesting prospects this year, IMO, as well. I could see him being a guy who drops big time and sure wouldn't mind him sitting there at #28.

WSS, I'm surprised to not see Malcolm Floyd going in the first round. I wouldn't mind seeing the Packers taking Mercilus and Jenkins would fit right in with the party hardy Lions.

That a realistic mock IMO.

If Cox is there at 20 I could see TT trading up. I would take McClellin or Jones over Mercilus.

Floyd sure has shot up and I probably need to fix that, maybe tonight. Maybe.
