NFL Mock Draft (Round 1 and 2 Final)

Round 1:
1. Indianapolis - QB Andrew Luck, Stanford
Notes: No surprise there the Colts are looking for the safest pick to replace Manning and Luck is it.
2. Washington - QB Robert Griffin III, Baylor
Notes: Again no surprise here, Washington traded their farm to land themselves a potential franchise QB and it might be well worth the move, time will tell.
3. Minnesota - OT Matt Kalil, USC
Notes: The Vikings seem sold on QB Christian Ponder, they will most likely look for an offensive lineman to protect him and Kalil is the best available.
4. Cleveland - RB Trent Richardson, Alabama
Notes: Now this is where it gets interesting, the Browns lost their starting RB Peyton Hillis this offseason and they'll be looking to replace him which is why Trent will be the pick here despite their need for WR.
5. Tampa Bay - CB Morris Claiborne, LSU
Notes: Despite his low wonderlic score, Claiborne is still expected to be the first CB taken in the draft and with Ronde Barber aging they'll be looking for his replacement at this spot.
6. St. Louis - WR Justin Blackmon, Oklahoma State
Notes: Last season Rams QB Sam Bradford had a QB rating of 70.5 a sophomore slump of a rating compared to his rookie season rating of 76.5 perhaps the best WR prospect in this draft can help that.
7. Jacksonville - WR Michael Floyd, Notre Dame
Notes: Rookie QB Blaine Gabbert had a huge amount of pressure on him last season possibly due to the success QBs Cam Newton and Andy Dalton were already having in their rookie seasons, here is a potential impact WR in Michael Floyd to help him out.
8. Miami - QB Ryan Tannehill, Texas A&M
Notes: It would be hard to imagine that the Dolphins would go into the season with QB Matt Moore or David Garrard as their QB of the future and this is where they take their guy Tannehill.
9. Carolina - DT Fletcher Cox, Mississippi State
Notes: With the Panthers not too long signing their DE Charles Johnson to a six year, 72 million dollar contract, Carolina could add to their line with the best defensive player available in the draft, DT Cox, adding to the line with well-paid Johnson.
10. Buffalo - OT Riley Reiff, Iowa
Notes: If QB Ryan Fitzpatrick is the Bills QB of the future it would not hurt to get him some offensive line help then, Riley is the BPA (Best Player Available) at this point.
11. Kansas City - DE Melvin Ingram, South Carolina
Notes: The Chiefs lost a corner in Brandon Carr this free agency season to the Cowboys; however the next best corner available, Stephon Gilmore would be a real reach at this point so might as well improve the pass rush with the BPA.
12. Seattle - OG David DeCastro, Stanford
Notes: Now that the Seahawks signed their man at QB in Matt Flynn, they should start by getting him some protection, DeCastro is the pick here.
13. Arizona - LB Luke Kuechly, Boston College
Notes: The Cardinals had the 18th best defense in the league last season could use a boost in their front 7 especially at linebacker, Kuechly is the pick here.
14. Dallas - DE Quinton Coples, North Carolina
Notes: Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan will be looking to improve the defense possibly the pass rush, Coples is the BPA.
15. Philadelphia - OT Cordy Glenn, Georgia
Notes: QB Michael Vick was sacked 23 times in the 2011 season, a number actually down from 34 times in his 2010 season, however he remains one of the most hit QBs in the NFL still because of his threat to run when in the pocket. Perhaps he would not be one of the most pressured and hit QBs in the league if Philly keeps on improving their protection, even though they drafted G Danny Watkins out of Baylor in the 1st round last season. But in Vick's case here though, the more protection, the better season he will have.
16. New York Jets - S Mark Barron, Alabama
Notes: The Jets recently signed a S in LaRon Landry, they might look to add to their secondary with Revis (obviously), Cromartie, Wilson and Landry all in place. Having Barron and Landry gives the Jets secondary two hard hitting safeties.
17. Cincinatti - CB Stephon Gilmore, South Carolina
Notes: With his draft stock rising and going as high as 9 in mock drafts, even Pete Prisco of CBSSportsonline.com compared him to having the skills of a Charles Woodson, it has become clear that Gilmore will most likely be the second CB behind Claiborne to go in the draft.  The Bengals could be looking for a replacement for Joseph who left last offseason for Houston; Gilmore could be the guy to fit nicely aside to CB Leon Hall.
18. San Diego - LB Courtney Upshaw, Alabama
Notes: With players like S Mark Barron and CB Stephon Gilmore off the board, LB Courtney Upshaw could be too hard to pass up.
19. Chicago - OT Jonathan Martin, Stanford
Notes: Unfortunately I got Martin (somebody the Lions are looking at) being taken by their rivals, the Bears....Jay Cutler along with Mike Vick is one of the most hit QBs in the league and could use improvement along the line to help Jay stay healthy throughout the season.
20. Tennessee - CB Dre Kirkpatrick, Alabama
Notes: The Titans could use a corner after losing a good one in Cortland Finnegan and the best one available is Dre at this point.
21. Cincinatti - DE Whitney Mercilus, Illinois
Notes: Well you know what they say, when it comes to drafting can never have too many defensive players especially when it comes to pass rushers and corners. The Bengals could also look at drafting a WR here to add along Green with Stephen Hill, but instead with Mercilus falling this far he would be hard to pass up.
22. Cleveland - WR Stephen Hill, Georgia Tech
Notes: The Browns finally build around QB McCoy first with dynamic RB Richardson at 4 and a dynamic WR at 6'4, 209 pounds, and a frame similar to that other WR that came out of Georgia Tech...one that recently signed a deal through 2019 worth 132 million richest contract for a WR in NFL history...yeah that one. McCoy will finally get a chance to prove himself with weapons all around him in Trent Richardson, Stephen Hill and Greg Little (who might prove himself as a 2).
23. Detroit - CB Janoris Jenkins, Northern Alabama
Notes: Here is the shocker of the day, despite the recent troubles with last year's picks in Fairley and LeShoure, I think the Lions will end up taking a chance on Jenkins. For many reasons: 1. draft experts have called him possibly the best cover corner in the draft 2. Baggage is a concern, yet Lions might take a risk and draft him on talent alone and 3. Lions need help in the secondary, preferably a CB after not only Brees lit them up last postseason but so did the Packers backup QB (Now Seahawks starter) Matt Flynn keeping the Lions drought at Lambeau alive. Corner and offensive line are both needs for the Detroit Lions and I see them taking a chance on Jenkins.  Since there is also a chance the Lions don't want to wonder what could have been just because the organization was afraid to take a risk, for example passing on Randy Moss in the 1998 NFL Draft.  The Lions should take a chance on Jenkins if Gilmore or Dre is gone (unless they trade up for Gilmore) especially since with all the negativity surrounding Jenkins, he might have a chip on his shoulder, something to prove.
24. Pittsburgh - OT Mike Adams, Ohio State
Notes: Not only are Vick, Cutler 2 of the most hit QBs in the NFL, "Big" Ben Roethlisberger is among them as well, so since Ben needs more protection as well, 2 years in a row the Steelers draft an Ohio State player (last year with Heyward) in the 1st round of a draft.
25. Denver - DT Dontari Poe, Memphis
Notes: Poe was once the highest rated DT on the board, till Cox climbed up in favor of teams like the Rams and Panthers, Poe is the BPA and the Broncos do need defensive help on the line next to Dumervil.
26. Houston - WR Kendall Wright, Baylor
Notes: Houston aims to make their offense more dynamic with the addition of hometown favorite Kendall Wright at 5'10 190, a speed guy to work opposite WR Andre Johnson one of the best WRs in the NFL.
27. New England - DT Michael Brockers, LSU
Notes: 2 problems the Patriots had on defense last season as Super Bowl runner ups to the Giants again, an inconsistent secondary (though Arrington was good and McCourty could bounce back this season) and an ineffective pass rush. The pass rush was the bigger problem in this case; Brockers is a great prospect to work alongside Wilfork on the defensive line.
28. Green Bay - DE/OLB Nick Perry, USC
Notes: With positions filled in the secondary (Woodson, Williams, Shields), the linebacking corps (Matthews, Hawk) and at DT (Raji, Pickett). The needs are for a DE and S, and Nick Perry is the best player available and the Pack does need to improve that pass rush, so it would help to have a DE that could possibly make an impact as well, though he might be a better fit at outside linebacker.
29. Baltimore - LB Donta Hightower, Alabama
Notes: John Harbaugh is a defensive guy and might be looking for Ray Lewis's replacement since Ray is not getting any younger; the reports are that Harbaugh and the Ravens love Hightower.
30. San Francisco - DE Chandler Jones, Syracuse
Notes: With the additions of Moss, Manningham this offseason the Niners could improve the WR corps by adding young WR Alshon Jeffrey out of South Carolina, but the red flags surrounding him might scare SF from taking him.The Jim Harbaugh coached Niners arguably had the best defense in the NFL last season and could improve it even more by adding a defensive end, Jones is the best player available in this situation.
31. New England - WR Alshon Jeffery, South Carolina
Notes: What a draft would this be for New England huh? First improving it's pass rush and then improving their receiving corps around Brady to look like Lloyd, Jeffrey, Welker, Branch, Gronkowski and Hernandez. Not to mention the Patriots would be adding to themselves a potential physical deep threat at 6'3, 216 that Brady has been lacking since Randy Moss. If anyone takes a risk on players with problems it would be Belichick, of course here the example would be Moss again.
32. New York Giants - RB David Wilson, Virginia Tech
Notes: The Super Bowl defending champions recently lost their downhill runner in Brandon Jacobs, the Giants could be looking for his replacement. So it is either looking like Virginia Tech RB David Wilson or Boise State RB Doug Martin as the second running back taken in the draft, it is a toss up but in this case I have Wilson being the power runner to replace Jacobs.
