This will be where we do the draft. This is not a discussion thread, make only your picks in here.

You will have 12 hours to make your selection in the first, 6 hours to make your selection in other rounds. If you don't think you will be here for your time send me or guru a list.

Also, please remember that we would appreciate it if every pick had one picture of the player and a small (two sentences would be ideal, one would be fine though) writeup on why you selected that player.

Here are a couple good sites for player analysis, team needs and so on.

Draft Countdown - Trade Value Chart

 

[Mooche]

With the 1st pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts are proud to select...

Andrew Luck - QB - Stanford University


With the departure of the beloved Peyton Manning, the Colts officially begin their transition with a new face of the franchise. Widely regarded as the best prospect since John Elway, Andrew Luck shows poise, confidence and talents way beyond his years. He begins his career as a day one starter for a team in dire need of a signal caller who will make an immediate impact.
​

 

[Hurricane Season]

With the second overall pick, the Washington Redskins proudly welcome Robert Griffin III to D.C.

Sig/avy should provide plenty of pictures.

 

[East]

With the 3rd overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings select:

Matt Kalil, OT, USC​

 

[East]

With the 4th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns select:

Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama

​

The Browns were involved heavily in the RGIII race until ultimately losing. It came down between Ryan Tannahill and Richardson ultimately. The Browns needed a new face of the franchise, along with an offensive play maker. Richardson fulfills both roles. He should be an elite running back soon.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

With the 5th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are proud to select...

Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU

With Aqib Talib possibly facing jail time, and Ronde Barber's career coming to a close, the Bucs are proud to select Mo Claiborne from LSU. The Bucs hope they can pair the top defensive prospect in the draft with Aqib Talib while he is in his prime. Claiborne has excellent coverage skills along with rare length and athleticism.​

 

[East]

With the 6th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the St. Louis Rams select:

Justin Blackmon, WR, OKSU
​

With the Rams getting a helluva deal for the 2nd pick, it is time to add weapons around Quaterback Sam Bradford.

 

[kam.]

With the 7th Pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, The Jacksonville Jaguars Select..

Melvin Ingram, DE, SCAR

​

 

[footballplaya52]

With the 8th Pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, The Miami Dolphins Select..

Courtney Upshaw, DE, ALABAMA​

 

[Yankees2772]

With the 9th pick in the 2012 NFL draft, the Carolina Panthers select:

Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis

Large man, but his athleticism displayed at the combine shows that he is versatile and devoted to the NFL life. With Poe at the nose, we can be scheme versatile and look for an under tackle to put more pressure on the NFC South QBs.​

 

[Hurricane Season]

With the 10th pick in the 2012 SI Mock, the Buffalo Bills select Quinton Coples, DE, UNC

The only thing that the Bills front seven lacks is a great edge rusher. With a healthy Kyle Williams, and Dareus continuing to develop, Coples could make this a dominating defensive line.​

 

[The Young One]

With the 11th Pick in the NFL Draft..The Kansas City Chiefs Select OT Riley Rieff, OT, Iowa

​

We're looking to strengthen the offensive line and we feel selecting Riley will do that.

 

[footballplaya52]

With the 12th Pick in the NFL Draft..The Seattle Seahawks Select...

Ryan Tannehill, QB, TEXAS A&M

The Seahawks Desperately need a good young QB​

 

[Yankees2772]

With the 13th Pick in the NFL Draft Arizona Cardinals Select...

Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford to protect Kevin Kolb/Peyton.​

 

[Elite]

With the 14th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboy select, Janoris Jenkins, CB North Alabama​

The Dallas Cowboys secondary has been the biggest weak-spot on their otherwise strong defense the last couple years. With Terrence Newman getting up there in age and being on the decline and Mike Jenkins not panning out after being selected with a high draft pick, the Boys bring in Janoris Jenkins, is a great cover corner who comes with some off-the-field issues, but the talent is too much to pass up.​

 

[Teagz]

With the 15th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft the Philadelphia Eagles select...

Luke Kuechly, Linebacker, Boston College


Last year our lb's were our biggest weak spot. We feel that Luke is one of the best prospects in this years draft and we look for him to be a mainstay on our defense for years to come.
​

 

[Elite]

With the 16th pick in the NFL draft the New York Jets select:

Mark Barron, S, Alabama

The Jets take Mark Barron because our safeties have been shitty for awhile now and our former starting SS has suffered season-ending leg injuries two seasons in a row, it's time to move on. Barron is easily the best safety in this class and he excels in coverage and stopping the run.​

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

With the 17th overall pick, the Cincinnati Bengals select OG David DeCastro

With both Offensive Guards Bobbie Williams and Nate Livings being free agents, I see the Bengals drafting their replacement with the 17th pick and no better of a replacement than DeCastro. He will instantly boost the offensive line and help keep Dalton off his back. DeCastro will also help create some nice holes for the running game.
​

 

[Mooche]

With the 18th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the San Diego Chargers select...

Nick Perry - OLB - Southern California

The Chargers have lacked a serious pass rush for a while. The Bolts add a ferocious, versatile and talented player out of Southern California who will allow them to bring the heat on opposing signal callers. He projects to fit in well to the 34 defense that the San Diego Chargers run.
​

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

With the 19th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select...

Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame​

Receiver is obviously the biggest need for the Chicago Bears and Floyd is the second best receiver in the 2012 class behind Justin Blackmon. At 6'3" 220lbs, Jay Cutler finally gets the big #1 receiver he has lacked since coming to the Bears in 2009. The only receivers on the current roster are Earl Bennett and Devin Hester, so the Bears could use another pick later in the draft to add to this group.
