Oakland Raiders: Matt Barkley, QB, USC

2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: None in rounds 1-4

The Raiders are going to be rebuilding under a new head coach and general manager this year. Right now, Oakland has zero draft picks in the first four rounds of the 2012 draft, and the team will have to settle for less talented players as the Raiders try to remodel their roster. Oakland could surprise, but it also could be a rough season.

In 2011, Barkley proved himself to be a safe prospect. He laid claim to the Trojans' starting quarterback position as a freshman and completed 59.9 percent of his passes for 2,735 yards and 15 touchdowns, but also threw 14 interceptions. In 12 games in 2010, the 6-foot-2, 220 pounder improved his production by completing 62.6 percent of his passes for 2,791 yards with 26 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

As a junior this season, Barkley had many prolific passing games including throwing for six touchdown passes against UCLA and Colorado. He also led USC to a signature road win over Oregon. In 2011, Barkley completed 69 percent of his passes for 3,528 yards with 39 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. His improved decision making is exactly the kind of progress NFL scouts will be pleased to see, plus he comes from a pro-style offense and has good intangibles. Barkley has mastered the West Coast offense and is well prepared for the NFL.

Minnesota Vikings: David Amerson, CB, North Carolina State

2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Matt Kalil, OT

The Vikings are going to have to upgrade their pass defense. With Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford and Jay Cutler in Minnesota's division for years to come, getting a ballhawking cornerback is needed.

Amerson looks like he could be just that. The 6-foot-3, 194-pounder has a special skill set with size, speed and ball skills. In 2011 he was simply phenomenal. Amerson totaled 13 interceptions to lead the nation. He also had 59 tackles with five passes broken up.

Indianapolis Colts: Robert Woods, WR, USC

2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Andrew Luck, QB

The Colts grab a No. 1 receiver to work with Andrew Luck.

Woods (6-1, 180) was a dominant force as a sophomore, becoming Matt Barkley's primary weapon. Woods totaled 1,292 yards on 111 receptions with 15 touchdowns in 2011. He had a record-setting game to open the season with 17 receptions for 177 yards and three touchdowns against Minnesota. Woods broke his own record, against Arizona, with 14 receptions for 255 yards and two touchdowns. When Barkley decided to return for his senior season, Woods had to be ecstatic since they should continue to produce massive numbers in the 2012 season. Another good year will keep Woods' draft stock strong as long as he can stay healthy.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington

2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Trent Richardson, RB

It may take a year or two for Greg Schiano to build up a quality group of cornerbacks. Ronde Barber and, probably, Aqib Talib aren't long-term players. Outside of them, the Buccaneers don't have any starting options.

The younger brother of Marcus Trufant, Desmond Trufant had a quality sophomore season in 2010 with 48 tackles, one interception and four passes broken up. The 6-foot, 184-pounder has the speed and agility to be a good cover corner. This year, Trufant had two interceptions with 14 passes broken up, two forced fumbles and 64 tackles. He has shown the ability to be a good blitzer. Trufant had an excellent season and is one of the best corners in the Pac-12.

Pick change; previously D.J. Fluker, OT

Cleveland Browns: Marquess Wilson, WR, Washington State

2012 NFL Mock Draft selections: Robert Griffin III, QB

The Browns could use a No. 1 receiver for projected new starter Robert Griffin III.

Wilson had a dynamic freshman season with 55 receptions for 1,006 yards and six touchdowns. This year, he was one of the best wide outs in college football. Wilson made 82 catches for 1,388 yards and 12 touchdowns. The 6-foot-3, 181-pounder has a big-time skill set.

Pick change; previously Desmond Trufant, CB

St. Louis Rams: Barrett Jones, OT, Alabama

2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Justin Blackmon, WR

The Rams could use offensive line help. Jones would have been a first-round pick if he had entered the 2012 draft, but he decided to return to school. Alabama may move him to center for next season.

The 6-foot-5, 311-pound Jones has proven to be a legitimate first-round left tackle prospect for the NFL. Alabama moved him to the blind side this season, and the junior excelled. He was chosen as a First-Team All-SEC selection.

In his first major test of 2011, Jones was playing very well against LSU, before an ankle injury in the second half. Early in the game, he was doing a phenomenal job of run blocking for Trent Richardson, and Alabama had a lot of success running behind Jones. He also wasn't needing or getting any help with the Tigers' speed rushers on the edge. Jones was solid, not allowing a sack or pressure. The ankle injury seemed to rob him of the power to drive block, but he was a warrior who played through the injury and wasn't a liability while playing hurt. In the rematch, Jones played well, and he did a good job of winning his blocks.

Jones started 14 games in 2009 as a redshirt freshman when Mark Ingram ran his way to a Heisman. Jones stayed at right guard and started 11 games in 2010. He was also named as a first-team All-SEC selection as sophmore. Jones is very smart and versatile. He could play guard or right tackle as well.

Buffalo Bills: Tyler Bray, QB, Tennessee

2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Courtney Upshaw, OLB/DE

The Bills could give Ryan Fitzpatrick another season to prove he should continue to be the starter. If 2012 doesn't go well, Buffalo will probably be looking for a new quarterback.

In 2011, the 6-foot-6, 210-pound sophomore Bray completed 59 percent of his passes for 1,983 yards with 17 touchdowns and six interceptions. He had a hand/thumb injury that caused him to miss five games and hurt him down the stretch. Bray has all the physical tools to be a first-round quarterback, and before the hand injury, made progress to improve his accuracy compared to his freshman season.

Pick change; previously Sam Montgomery, DE

Washington Redskins: Tyler Wilson, QB, Arkansas

2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Riley Reiff, OT

The Redskins could miss out on a franchise quarterback in 2012 and be forced to settle for another veteran. The 2013 class could have more first-round quarterbacks than 2012, and if Washington lands a top-10 pick, the team could have a shot at finally landing a franchise signal caller.

In 2011, Wilson completed 63 percent of his passes for 3,638 yards with 24 touchdowns and six interceptions. He improved as the season progressed and has gotten good preparation for the pro game from Bobby Petrino. Wilson has good field vision, a strong arm and accuracy. He should produce a big 2012 season even though he is losing a good cast of receivers.

Pick change; previously Marques Wilson, WR

Chicago Bears: Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame

2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Michael Floyd, WR

The Bears need to find a long-term middle linebacker as Brian Urlacher is nearing the end of the line.

In 2010, as a sophomore, Manti Te'o was a tackling machine for the Fighting Irish with 133 tackles. He also recorded 9.5 tackles for a loss, one sack and one forced fumble. This year, Te'o recorded 128 tackles with 13.5 tackles for a loss and five sacks. He led Notre Dame in sacks and tackles. Te'o has the size (6-2, 255) and speed to adapt quickly to the NFL. He is fast enough to play the middle in a 4-3 defense, with the bulk to function on the inside of a 3-4 defense.

Miami Dolphins: Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia

2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Jonathan Martin, OT

Miami's defense could use a young edge rusher to go with Cameron Wake.

Jones was one of the best pass rushers in college football in 2011. He tied for the second most sacks in the nation, 13.5. Jones also had 70 tackles with 19.5 tackles for a loss and two forced fumbles. The USC transfer has fit well in the Georgia defense and looks like an ideal 3-4 outside linebacker at the next level. The 6-foot-3, 241-pounder should be able to add some bulk to hold up on the edge in the NFL.

Kansas City Chiefs: D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama

2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Ryan Tannehill, QB

Kansas City lands a long-term starter at right tackle. Barry Richardson was exploited terribly in 2011.

Fluker (6-6, 335) has been an excellent tackle for Alabama. He is a nasty run blocker and quality pass protector. There is no reason to think that Fluker won't have another dominant season in 2012 to prove himself worthy of being a pick in the top half of the first round.

Pick change; previously Tyler Bray, QB

Jacksonville Jaguars: Keenan Allen, WR, California

2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Quinton Coples, DE

The Jaguars clearly need a lot of help at wide receiver.

The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Allen looks like he could have the talent to be a big-time receiver. As a freshman, in 2010, he caught 46 passes for 490 yards and five touchdowns. Allen put together a huge 2011 season, racking up 98 receptions for 1,343 yards and six scores.

Seattle Seahawks: Landry Jones, QB, Oklahoma

2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Devon Still, DT

The Seahawks need a long-term quarterback.

Jones has the size (6-4, 229) and arm that NFL teams look for. He had another big season in 2011 throwing to wide outs Ryan Broyles, Kenny Stills and Jaz Reynolds. Broyles missed the end of the season, and that hurt the Oklahoma signal caller in the final few games. Jones destroyed Texas and Kansas State this year, but had bad games against Baylor and Oklahoma State. For 2011, Jones completed 63 percent of his passes for 4,463 yards with 29 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.

The losses against the Bears and the Cowboys bring into question whether or not Jones possesses the 'it' factor to push his team to a win. He started 10 games as a freshman and 14 games in 2010. Jones made big strides as a sophomore, completing 65 percent of his passes for 4,718 yards with 38 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

Atlanta Falcons: Sam Montgomery, DE, LSU

2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Cam Johnson, DE (second round)

The Falcons are going to need to add some pass rushers over the next couple of drafts. John Abraham is nearing the end of the line while Ray Edwards is not a real pass-rushing threat.

Montgomery has been a leader of the Tigers� fierce defensive line. In 2011, he totaled 49 tackles with 13.5 tackles for a loss, nine sacks and one forced fumble. As a freshman, Montgomery had 18 tackles with six tackles for a loss and two sacks. The 6-foot-4, 245-pounder needs to add weight for the NFL, but that shouldn't be an issue as he has the frame to get bigger.

Pick change; previously Alex Okafor, DE

Cincinnati Bengals: Alex Okafor, DE, Texas

2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Dre Kirkpatrick, CB and Lamar Miller, RB

The Bengals have defensive end Michael Johnson entering the final year of his contract, and may need some youth on their defensive line.

The 6-foot-4, 260-pound Okafor was one of the top defensive ends in the Big XII in 2011. He was a first team All-Big XII selection. Okafor totaled 58 tackles with 14 tackles for a loss, seven sacks, three passes batted and two forced fumbles. He had 2.5 sacks as a sophomore in 2010. Okafor has some speed to go along with strength.

Pick change; previously Brandon Jenkins, DE

Dallas Cowboys: Tony Jefferson, S, Oklahoma

2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Janoris Jenkins, CB

The Cowboys could use some youth at safety, and Jefferson would be a great fit.

Jefferson was the Big XII Freshman of the Year in 2010. He started nine games and recorded 65 tackles with seven tackles for a loss, two sacks, two interceptions and seven passes broken up. The athletic and instinctive Jefferson (5-10, 199) played excellent football in 2011. He totaled 74 tackles with 7.5 tackles for a loss, 4.5 sacks, four interceptions, three passes broken up and a forced fumble.

2011 draft saw a ton of 1st round QBs, jury is still out. 2013 might see more. I noticed you didn't list all of them. Barkely, Jones, Manuel, they will be top 3 off the board. I can explain further if you need, but only so many words per para

Did you really just predict 2 CB's in the top 4? When was the last time 1 CB was taken in the Top 5? Not to mention Amerson as the number 2 is horrific and you should not be able to post on this site again. Save this, mark it down, highlight it if you need to. "Amerson will not be a 1st round selection 2013!" He

Charlie,

Goldson is the long-term FS for the Niners...if they don't re-sign him before Mar deadline, they'll franchise him w/intent to get him locked up 4-5 yrs. A much more pressing need is their receiving corps...so here, Randle or Fleener would make good picks.

Frank

If Denver drafts either a RB, TE or QB in 1st round, they'll be run out of town. Picks are a joke.

Frank 02-21-2012 12:13 pm xxx.xxx.xxx7.68 (total posts: 2)

Charlie,

The Niners want Goldson as their long-term FS. If they can't sign him to that contract, they'll very likely franchise him. Harbaugh needs to improve his receiving corps...TE Coby Fleener makes a lot of sense, given he'd make a good bookend to Vernon Davis and already knows Harbaugh's offense, or at least the foundation of it.

If the Browns draft at #5 ... then their record would be similar to last season's 4-12 and youy should account for the fact Shurmur/Holmgren/Heckert will be out of a job. Especially if they trade up for RG3 .. who to your thinking, won't improve the team from the current Colt McCoy

This must be a joke there is no way trufant goes top 5 he was terrible this year or did you just forget what rgIII did to the husky secondary in the bowl game no way a husky corner goes first 3 round let alone 4th overall

I like the draft but for the love of [me] take Tim Tebow out of the playoffs, no way is that happening again.

Stop giving people information you are clearly ignorant on. You've been told many times, now you finally wrap your head around the fact that the Bengals can still get the Raiders 1st. Please realize that they need to win the AFC championship game for it to come to fruition. It's not simply a playoff win, now stop giving wrong information, you have the internet look up your facts meathead.

Connor P 02-20-2012 05:34 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.185 (total posts: 4)

@Alonzo Actually the Bengals only get the 1st round pick if the Raiders win a playoff game.

Having Barkley go first is good, but the Raiders are stupid and will go for someone else.

Good god. Some husky Fans that have watched Desmond Trufant quite a bit complain that 5 is too high. Too "high", not too low, like he's ever gonna go that early. And you move him up to #4???

You lose credibility with off the wall picks like that...
