The Professor's 2012 NFL Mock Draft 8.0 (Final)









1. Colts: Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford

“Andrew Lock”. Get it straight, Brain Heat coined the phrase!


2. Redskins: Robert Griffin, QB, Baylor

Holmgren played it too cute. Skins will ride the lightning.


3. Vikings: Matt Kalil, OT, USC

    Plug-in from day 1.



4. Dolphins: (Trade) Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M

Holmgren saves face. Dolphins show a pulse.


5. Buccaneers: Morris Claiborne, DB, LSU

Claiborne and (FA) Wright replace Barber and Talib. Makes sense.


6. Rams: Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa

Added Free Agent WRs. Pass on Blackmon.



7. Jaguars: Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State

Young QB. Add Dez 2.0 to (FA) Laurent Robinson.



8. Browns: (Trade) Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama

Mike, I apologize!


9. Panthers: Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame

Cam’s the man.



10. Bills: Luke Kuechly, ILB, Boston College

High production and high character guy. Kuechly joins Super Mario.


11. Chiefs: Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State

Cox is a wrecking ball.



12. Seahawks: Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina

Pete is a motivator.



13. Cardinals: Nick Perry, DE, USC

Get your freak on.



14. Cowboys: David DeCastro, G, Stanford

Jerry is building a great front for Romo.



15. Eagles: Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis

Beasty Boy.



16. Jets: Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina

Rex gets the top rated pass rusher.



17. Bengals: Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina

Talented and unblemished resume.



18. Chargers: Mark Barron, S, Alabama

Top Safety



19. Bears: Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State

A healthy Cutler equals a playoff team.



20. Titans: Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama

Physical corner from a big-time program.



21. Bengals: Michael Brockers, DT, LSU

Can’t find these guys in the 2nd round. Can’t afford these guys in Free Agency.


22. Browns Brandon Weeden, QB, Oklahoma State

Mike strikes! The system fits Brandon like a   glove. Starts on day 1.


23. Lions: Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford

Another 5000 passing yards starts up front.



24. Steelers: Dont’a Hightower, ILB, Alabama

Rock solid. Will replace Farrier.



25. Broncos: Cordy Glenn, G, Georgia

The Peyton project begins with protection.



26. Texans: Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor

Wright complements Andre Johnson.



27. Pats: Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama

Risk vs. reward.



28. Packers: Whitney Mercilus, DE/OLB, Illinois

Bookends with Clay.



29. Ravens: Devon Still, DT, Penn State

Toss up between Still and Worthy.



30. 49ers: Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford

Tora, Tora, Tora! If Smith can improve another 10%, watch out.


31. Pats: Courtney Upshaw, DE/OLB, Alabama

Some see a tweener, Bill sees a player who can flex into different schemes.


32. Giants: Stephen Hill, WR, Georgia Tech

The 2nd coming of Jerry Rice. That’s right, Jerry freakin' Rice!
