2012 NFL Mock Draft

Every year about this time I start my mock draft for the following year, all the underclassmen have already declared so we already know most of the top talent that will be available.

Yes it's early, we haven't even had the 2011 NFL Draft, but doing the research to put together a 2012 NFL Mock Draft gives Draftniks like myself a chance to identify the top college football talent very early, plus it's fun.

The 2011 NFL Draft looks like the year of the defensive linemen with probably 3 being taken with the first five picks. Nick Fairley, Da' Quan Bowers and Marcell Dareus all should be gone within the first five picks.

Its early still, but The 2012 NFL Draft might end up being known as the year of the wide receiver. We normally see 3 or 4 receivers taken in the first round, but if most of these talented juniors declare early, the 2012 NFL Draft might have 5 or 6 players selected in the first round.

Here is a quick snapshot of 7 receiver with first round potential for the 2012 NFL Draft:

1. Justin Blackmon, Oklahoma State
2. Ashlon Jeffrey, South Carolina
3. Rueben Randle, LSU
4. Ryan Broyles, Oklahoma
5. Mohamed Sanu, Rutgers
6. Michael Floyd, Notre Dame
7. DeVier Posey, Ohio State
