Indianapolis Colts: Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford

The Colts won the 'Suck for Luck' derby. Indianapolis, with a new front office and coaching staff, will definitely look to build for the long term with Luck. Trading this pick remains a remote possibility, but an extremely unlikely one. Peyton Manning is in his mid 30s and dealing with a scary neck injury. It has become clear that Manning is at the end of the line with Indianapolis. Though the Colts will consider Robert Griffin III with their first-round pick, they will probably select the Stanford quarterback as he is seen as the less risky pick.

In 2011, Luck confirmed the hype with a super-efficient season. He completed 71 percent of his passes for 3,517 yards with 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Three of those interceptions came on tipped passes. Luck ran for a couple of touchdowns too. The senior played well in his Fiesta Bowl outing against the Oklahoma State Cowboys, but some missed field goals cost the Stanford Cardinal the victory.

During the regular season, Luck led Stanford to a comeback, signature, triple-overtime win at USC. He showed leadership, fire and bounce-back ability in that game. That was good to see since, typically, the Cardinal blew out opponents. The senior signal caller didn't have his best outing against a tough Oregon team in Stanford's first loss.

In 2010, Luck completed 71 percent of his passes, throwing for 32 touchdowns with only eight interceptions while also running for 453 yards and three scores. Over the last two seasons, he has compiled a stack of dominant tapes for NFL general managers.

On top of his intelligence and quality arm, Luck has excellent mobility to extend plays. He regularly bailed out his line, and his accuracy while throwing on the run was truly phenomenal. Luck looks like he is ready to step in and play with fewer growing pains than typical young quarterbacks.

Adding to his impressive resume is the coaching Luck received from former coach Jim Harbaugh. Current offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Pep Hamilton is an experienced NFL coach as well. Luck has mastered a pro-style system. The 6-foot-4, 235-pounder looks like one of the safest quarterback prospects of the past two decades. There is little doubt that Luck will prove to the Colts' new front office, coaching staff and ownership that he is worthy of the first pick.

Cleveland Browns: Robert Griffin, QB, Baylor

TRADE: In this mock we'll have the Browns trading up for Griffin and giving the Rams the 22nd overall pick. Cleveland would rather give that pick than their first-rounder in 2013 as next year's pick is likely to be higher than 22. The Browns got the 22nd overall pick from the Falcons in the Julio Jones trade.

The Browns need Robert Griffin III, and there is a good chance they will have to trade up for him or risk another team jumping in front of them. Colt McCoy was a third-round pick in 2010, so it is not like Cleveland has a huge investment in him. He could still be a quality backup for the Browns.

Griffin earned his Heisman Trophy and truly was the best player in college football this year. The 6-foot-2, 220-pounder was a big-play machine. He has a strong arm, is extremely accurate throwing the ball downfield and has superb mobility, having also been a track competitor. Griffin is very intelligent and a high-character individual. He has the makings of a franchise quarterback.

In 2011, Griffin completed 72 percent of his passes for 4,293 yards with 37 touchdowns and six interceptions. He also rushed for 699 yards and 10 touchdowns. The junior has the 'it' factor that pushes his team to wins and elevates the play of his teammates.

Minnesota Vikings: Matt Kalil, OT, USC

Minnesota has to be praying every night that St. Louis trades down and doesn't take Kalil. The Vikings� biggest need is at left tackle, since Charlie Johnson is not the answer as a blind-side protector for Christian Ponder.

Kalil is a top-flight left tackle prospect. His quality play kept Tyron Smith on the right side in 2010. Kalil is extremely athletic, with quick feet that allow him to shuffle and mirror pass rushers while also hitting blockers on the second level of the defense. He was a decent run blocker at the college level, but for the NFL, Kalil has a lot of room for improvement. He needs to become more consistent and add some functional football strength to be able to push defenders off the line of scrimmage.

Entering the NFL, Kalil's run blocking is a weakness, and he will need to get better at it. That is definitely doable for him. At 6-foot-7, 295-pounds, Kalil is a specimen who should only get stronger as he ages in an NFL strength and conditioning program. Kalil has strong bloodlines with his father and brother making it into the league.

Pick change; previously Justin Blackmon, WR

St. Louis Rams: Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State

This pick is a no-brainer for St. Louis. The Rams have an obvious need to find a game-changing wide receiver to pair with Sam Bradford. Sources have told WalterFootball.com that St. Louis badly wanted Julio Jones last year, and were disappointed when he didn't fall to its pick. This year, the Rams can get a game-changing wide receiver in Blackmon.

The 6-foot-1, 211-pound Blackmon is a complete package as a receiver. He is a tough and physical player who can operate well in the short to intermediate part of the field. Furthermore, Blackmon has the speed to score on any reception and stretch defenses vertically. Even with constant double coverage this season, he stayed productive.

In 2011, Blackmon had 121 receptions for 1,522 yards and 18 touchdowns. The junior recorded big games against two of the better teams he faced in Texas A&M and Kansas State. Blackmon finished his career as the Fiesta Bowl offensive MVP with a massive performance against Stanford, despite playing with a leg infection. He is a game-changer and looks like a young Terrell Owens.

Blackmon could have been a first-rounder in 2011, but decided to return to the Cowboys. He was a dynamite playmaker in 2010, producing 1,782 yards on 111 catches with 20 touchdowns, while being extremely consistent. Blackmon had more than 100 yards receiving in every game he played that season. The one game he missed was because of a DUI arrest. Blackmon has also been actively working with a child-cancer charity.

Pick change; previously Matt Kalil, OT

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama

Tampa Bay plans on being active in free agency, and it wouldn't be surprising if they add a veteran starter at cornerback. A veteran corner and a rookie running back have a better chance of paying off immediately rather than taking a rookie corner like Morris Claiborne. Adding a weapon like Richardson could help turn around Josh Freeman, which is a chief priority for the organization from the top down. General manager Mark Dominik is going to be frantically looking for players who can help the Buccaneers immediately, and yield an improved record to provide some job security.

Plus, Tampa Bay could decide that it has had enough with LeGarrette Blount as he is an exclusive-rights free agent after this season. If the Bucaneers keep Blount, he could form a good dual-back approach with Richardson. Blount has been incapable of learning blitz pickup and his presence on or off the field is a big indicator to defenses about what play the team will run. He also fumbled the ball consistently in 2011.

In 2011, Richardson had 24 total touchdowns (21 rushing, three receiving) while running for 1,679 yards. He averaged 5.9 yards per carry with 29 receptions for 338 yards and three touchdowns. Richardson has the explosiveness to break off big plays. Against Arkansas this season, he made a difficult catch on a screen pass and took it 61 yards for a touchdown. The 5-foot 11, 224-pounder also had dominant games against Florida, Ole Miss and Mississippi State. In both games against LSU, Richardson fought hard against a good defense and played well. He produced even with the Tigers' talented defense focused on stopping him.

WalterFootball.com caught up with his former teammate, Mark Ingram. He explained that Richardson has become a better student of the game, which yielded serious dividends for him in 2011. With better study habits, Richardson now is a complete back with the ability to run through defenders, run away from them, and beat them with intelligence. In 2010, he ran for 700 yards and six touchdowns after rushing for 751 yards and eight scores as a freshman. Richardson averaged 5.6 yards per carry in his first two seasons.

Pick change; previously Morris Claiborne, CB

Washington Redskins: Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa

Assuming the Redskins land a veteran quarterback like Peyton Manning, they could opt to improve their pass protection with Reiff. There isn't a wide receiver worth drafting here, so a tackle like Reiff would be the best value for Washington.

Reiff was a solid left tackle for the Hawkeyes. At 6-foot-6, 300 pounds, he has the frame to add some more power. Reiff is a technician who was well-coached at Iowa. The junior looks like he has the ability to switch to right tackle, and possibly guard, if needed, but would have to put on some weight for either of those positions. Reiff's natural position is left tackle, and he should turn into a quality left tackle in the NFL.

Reiff had a very good game against Pittsburgh defensive end Brandon Lindsey. The rest of Reiff's schedule was very manageable. He had no issues with Michigan's defenders and played well against Nebraska. Reiff didn't allow a sack to Oklahoma's Frank Alexander in the Bowl game, but did surrender a sack to R.J. Washington on a bull rush.

Pick change; previously Ryan Tannehill, QB

Jacksonville Jaguars: Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina

I have feeling that this could be a traded pick. Don't be surprised to see Jacksonville move down while targeting Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd. If the Jaguars keep this pick, they really could use some help on the defensive line. Adding an edge rusher could help improve the effectiveness of Tyson Alualu. Everybody thought Jacksonville was going to draft Ryan Kerrigan in 2011, but the team opted instead for a franchise quarterback.

The 6-foot-5, 281-pound Coples is the prototypical defensive end for a 4-3 defense due to his combination of size, speed and athleticism. He confirmed the hype with a strong week at the Senior Bowl. It helped solidify his stock as a top-10 pick after some had questions due to his decreased production compared to 2010. This year, he was double-teamed a lot yet still managed to get pressure on the quarterback. Coples has shown the ability to defend the run well, especially versus Georgia Tech. Against Clemson, he had a sack-fumble plus another sack that was negated by a penalty. On that play, Coples bull rushed through a guard. He also is a dangerous rusher when lining up on the inside. For the season, the senior totaled 55 tackles with 15 tackles for a loss, 7.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and a plethora of quarterback hurries.

At the Senior Bowl, Coples was dominant in the one-on-one pass rushing drills and showed that he will make offenses pay when they single block him. Coples took complete advantage of Robert Quinn being suspended in 2010 with a breakout season. After producing five sacks as a sophmore in 2009, Coples doubled his sack total as a junior. He also contributed 15.5 tackles for a loss, 59 tackles and two forced fumbles.

Miami Dolphins: Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford

Miami has to do something about the quarterback position this offseason. It wouldn't be surprising if the Dolphins make a run at Matt Flynn, especially given his background with new head coach Joe Philbin. If Miami lands Flynn or another NFL veteran, the team could use this pick to provide some better blocking. Marc Columbo was a liability at right tackle this year, and the Dolphins could use a bookend tackle to pair with Jake Long.

'Moose' Martin (6-6, 304) was an excellent player for Stanford. He dominated the Pac-10/12 the past few seasons. Martin has the pass-protecting potential to be a standout tackle, and is a tenacious run blocker. He does a fabulous job of setting the edge, and the Cardinal had a lot of success running behind him with David DeCastro pulling from right guard. Martin is experienced at protecting a franchise quarterback and the pressure that comes with the position. At the pro level, Martin will need some work to develop his pass protection, but he has big upside. Martin could be an excellent right tackle.

Carolina Panthers: Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU

This pick is a no-brainer as Claiborne is the top talent on the board and fits one of the Panthers' biggest needs. Carolina's secondary would be immediately upgraded by Claiborne since he can start opposite Chris Gamble from day one.

In the NFL, Claiborne is going to bring speed and playmaking ability to the team that drafts him. The 6-foot, 188-pounder possesses a phenomenal skill set, and proved that throughout the 2011 season. He has the speed and athleticism to be an elite cover corner with the ball skills to punish teams for throwing his direction.

This year, Claiborne showed off his ball skills with two impressive interceptions against Mississippi State. He also is a dangerous kick returner. Claiborne had a signature game for LSU in the first meeting of 2011 with Alabama. The junior was rock solid in pass coverage and had an excellent interception that he returned 33 yards. Claiborne made a good read picking up the H-back running an out route, and speedily jumped the route. His clutch interception set up the game-tying field goal that would eventually force overtime. He also had three tackles and a pass broken up against the Crimson Tide in that matchup.

In the rematch, Claiborne was quiet and untested. This season, he had 51 tackles with six passes broken up to go along with six interceptions while averaging 25.1 yards per kick return.

Claiborne had an impressive debut for the Tigers in 2010. He recorded five interceptions with 37 tackles and six passes defensed. With Patrick Peterson on the other side, Claiborne held up well with a lot of passes thrown his direction.

Pick change; previously Devon Still, DT

Buffalo Bills: Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina

The Bills have to address their pass rush this offseason. With the move to the 4-3 defense, Buffalo is going to need some natural defensive ends and edge rushers.

Ingram has versatile size (6-1, 276) and is a special athlete with a unique combination of speed and agility. In the first game of 2011, the senior recorded an interception against East Carolina. Facing Georgia, Ingram ran a fake punt 68 yards for a touchdown and returned a fumble five yards for another touchdown after beating Cordy Glenn on the play. He also recovered a fumble for a touchdown against Vanderbilt.

Ingram was solid in SEC play this year. He recorded 48 tackles, 15 tackles for a loss, 10 sacks, two interceptions and two passes batted away. Injuries slowed him down in the middle of the season. Ingram played well against Clemson and Nebraska to finish his career on a high note.

In 2010, Ingram was third in the SEC in sacks with nine (which led the Gamecocks). He also had 11 tackles for a loss, 28 tackles and one forced fumble. Ingram is strong at the point of attack and has the ability to rush from defensive tackle on passing downs. South Carolina played him at end and tackle in 2011.

Pick change; previously Courtney Upshaw, OLB/DE

Kansas City Chiefs: Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M

Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel will turn 30 just after the 2012 NFL Draft. They could groom Tannehill for a year or two behind Cassel.

The 6-foot-4, 222-pound Tannehill is a good athlete who can make big plays with his feet and has a strong arm. This season, he completed 62 percent of his passes for 3,744 yards with 29 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. The senior also rushed for 355 yards with four touchdowns. Tannehill was inconsistent and is still developing at the position. He played well versus Baylor and Missouri, but struggled against Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas.

Tannehill has only played one full season at quarterback (20 total starts at QB), so he will need time to develop at the pro level. As a wide out in 2008, Tannehill caught 55 passes for 844 yards and five touchdowns. He switched to quarterback in 2010 and played well in the last half of the season as the Aggies' starter. Tannehill completed 65 percent of his passes for 1,638 yards with 13 touchdowns and six interceptions.

Pick change; previously Trent Richardson, RB

Seattle Seahawks: Devon Still, DE/DT, Penn State

The Seahawks could use an interior defensive line presence as well as an edge rusher. Still is a good fit for Seattle.

Still had a superb senior season. He was a playmaker and the leader of the Penn State defense. The 6-foot-5, 311-pounder has good size, surprising speed and real power. He played Alabama tough early this year. Still had 55 tackles with 17 tackles for a loss, 4.5 sacks, a pass batted away and a forced fumble in 2011. Many of his tackles went for no gain or minimal gain. Until Week 12, he had recorded at least one tackle for a loss in every game this season. Still has shown the ability to fight through double-teams and still be disruptive. He had a bad game against Wisconsin and guard Kevin Zeitler.

Still had a strong 2010 season with 10 tackles for a loss and four sacks. He saw frequent double teams, yet was a difference maker for the Nittany Lions. As a sophomore, Still had 5.5 tackles for a loss and two sacks. He has scheme flexibility and could fit a 3-4 defense as a defensive end or nose tackle. Still looks like an ideal 4-3 nose tackle, and he has the ability to rush the passer as a three-technique. Still is a well-rounded player.

Pick change; previously Melvin Ingram, DE

Arizona Cardinals: David DeCastro, G, Stanford

The Cardinals have to upgrade their offensive line, and DeCastro is the top linemen available. He also is one of the highest-rated players on the board. The Cardinal product would immediately upgrade the power and physicality of the Arizona line.

DeCastro is so dominant, he is worth a top-20 pick. The 6-foot-5, 310-pounder is an experienced starter who was a second-team All-American in 2010 and a first-team All-American this season. In 2010, Stanford averaged 213.8 rush yards per game with DeCastro paving the way at right guard. He was an overwhelming force for the Cardinal this year.

You could make a strong argument for DeCastro being one of the safest picks in this draft class. He is a powerful run blocker who is phenomenal at pulling and hitting blocks on the move. DeCastro is also very good at getting to the second level of the defense and blasting linebackers. He will be an asset in run blocking quickly in the NFL. Addtionally, there is no drawback with DeCastro as a pass blocker. He has a strong base and stonewalls bull rushes, including from larger defensive tackles.

DeCastro saw his best competition of 2011 when facing the University of Washington. Unfortunately, he rarely went against Huskies standout defensive tackle Alameda Ta'amu, but when DeCastro did, he beat Ta'amu on every rep. Stanford ran for 446 yards against Washington. DeCastro also had good performances against USC, Oregon and Oklahoma State.

Pick change; previously Riley Reiff, OT

Dallas Cowboys: Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama

The Cowboys badly need cornerback help. For Rob Ryan's defense, they need a corner who can play in man coverage. Dallas has overlooked character concerns in the past, as with Dez Bryant, and could do so again with Jenkins.

Jenkins (5-9, 191) does not have huge size, but has a top skill set as a cover corner. He had a shot to be a top-10 pick this season if it weren't for the multiple drug arrests that got him kicked out of Florida. If Jenkins had stayed out of trouble, he could have challenged Claiborne as the top cornerback in the class. If Jenkins ceases the off-the-field issues, he will be a great value pick.

Jenkins was dominant at the Senior Bowl. He is a pure cover corner with the speed and agility to run with receivers. This year at North Alabama, Jenkins returned 18 punts for 390 yards (21.7 average) with three touchdown returns and a long return of 92 yards. He had two interceptions and a fumble returned 49 yards for a score as well. Furthermore, Jenkins had 53 tackles with four tackles for a loss and six passes broken up. Obviously, the senior dominated the weak competition, as he was supposed to.

Jenkins was a starter as a true freshman opposite Joe Haden in 2008 when the Gators won the National Championship. Jenkins recorded three interceptions in 2010 to go along with 44 tackles and eight passes defensed. He is fast with great feet and athleticism. Jenkins can flip his hips and run with speed receivers. Even at under six-foot, he had success going against the best big receivers he saw in the SEC. For instance, Jenkins held South Carolina's Alshon Jeffery to six receptions for 53 yards and no scores in 2010, after Jeffery only notched six catches for 57 yards in their first battle. Also, Georgia's A.J. Green had only four catches for 42 yards and a score in the Gators-Bulldogs 2010 meeting. Neither Green nor Jeffery recorded a 100-yard game against Jenkins.

Philadelphia Eagles: Luke Kuechly, ILB, Boston College

Even though Andy Reid has resisted drafting a linebacker early, 2012 might be the year. He did the same thing at wide receiver for many years, and linebacker is the biggest need on the Eagles' roster. Landing Kuechly in the middle of the first round is an excellent value.

Kuechly admittedly lacks foot speed, but makes up for it in instincts and intelligence. He is also incredibly hard-working, and should do a good job of picking up an NFL playbook quickly. While Kuechly is not the most athletic prospect, he is a pure football player. The 6-foot-3, 237-pounder is hands down more consistent and productive than other first-round middle linebackers like Vontaze Burfict or Dont'a Hightower. It is not even close.

This year, Kuechly led the nation in tackles (just like in 2010), posting more than 30 tackles over the second highest total. He did that despite not having the opportunity to play in a Bowl. In 12 games, Kuechly made 191 tackles with 12 tackles for a loss, three passes broken up and three interceptions. He was all over the field against Florida State. Kuechly recorded 20 tackles and also helped force a fumble, but he was not officially credited with that forced fumble.

Against Miami, Kuechly set ACC and school records for career-tackle totals, plus provided the game-winning score with a 45-yard interception return for a touchdown. He also had an impressive pass breakup that came deep downfield in tight coverage on speedster wide receiver Tommy Streeter. Kuechly's collegiate career tackle total stands at 532.

The junior had 183 tackles in 2010. That included 110 solo tackles. The All-American also contributed 10.5 tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and three interceptions.

New York Jets: Courtney Upshaw, DE/OLB, Alabama

The Jets have needed to upgrade their edge rushers since blowing a pick on Vernon Gholston. Brian Thomas is 32 years old and Calvin Pace, 30, had only 4.5 sacks on the season. Aaron Maybin led the team with six sacks, but New York could use more youth at outside linebacker. Plus, Bart Scott turns 32 next season, so adding more young playmakers in the front seven is necessary. Finding a long-term edge rusher should be a high priority for the Jets in the 2012 offseason.

Upshaw is in the running as the top 3-4 outside linebacker in the 2012 draft class, but after his Senior Bowl weigh in, he definitely fits as a 4-3 defensive end also. The 6-foot-1, 273 pounder has the size to hold up on the edge and also has the athletic ability to rush the passer with speed as well as power. He had a strong week at the Senior Bowl and consistently won his matchups in the one-on-one pass protection drills.

Upshaw finished 2011 with 52 tackles, 9.5 sacks, 18 tackles for a loss, an interception and two forced fumbles. Against Florida, he totaled four tackles with three tackles for a loss, one interception and one sack. Upshaw returned that interception 45 yards for a touchdown, while his sack knocked the Gators starting quarterback, John Brantley, out of the game. The first time versus LSU, Upshaw gave the Tigers offensive linemen all they could handle. He was consistently pressuring the quarterback and defended the run well. Upshaw had one sack but had a number of near sacks with hits on the quarterback with six tackles. The second game against the Tigers was more of the same for Upshaw. He collected seven tackles (6 solo), one tackle for a loss, and a sack.

In 2010, Upshaw led the Crimson Tide with seven sacks plus contributed 52 tackles, with 14.5 tackles for a loss and four forced fumbles. He definitely is a perfect fit for NFL 3-4 defenses.

I do not see the Cowboys picking someone that might slip to the second round (J. Jenkins). I see them going after a DeCastro, Kuechy, Upshaw, or even Mark Barron, if he is fast enough (Cowboys like speed).

Bishop 02-18-2012 10:08 pm xxx.xxx.xxx4.71 (total posts: 3)

I like the first 3 rounds for the Seahawks, but RB in round 4? I would hope they go after a ILB or OLB.

With a guy like Terrance Gannaway still out there, no need to go for RB so soon.

I don't see Hightower fitting in the Giants D. Too slow. Wouldn't mind seeing Dontari Poe taking on opposing OLs though.

Is Upshaw that great of a pass rusher? I have a feeling that his game will be similar to the Jets current OLBs, solid against the run, decent pass rush, good all around play but can't cover TE's or RBs and won't ever get 10+ sacks.
I think Mercilus is more of the dynamic pass rusher the Jets are looking for, and once the Senior Bowl hype calms down and the combine is over, Mercilus will be up there with Ingram and Upshaw as a top half of rd 1 pick.

Even if Tampa gets a corner via trade or free agency there is still no way Claiborne gets by them.

Hey, just wondering why Kirk Cousins isn't going in the first four rounds. I guess that excellent showing at the senior bowl didn't do much for him.

You must be a Niner fan. Best mock I've read. Only quibble: Would rather see Hosley as the 2nd pick, not Sanders. Otherwise perfect.
