2012 NFL Draft- Mock 1st Round

[ravensfanatic77]

The following is my 2012 NFL Draft mock 1st round.

 

Please note that in parenthesis are team needs per the draft guru himself, Mel Kiper.

 

As far as referencing a player ranking system, I used the other draft guru's, Todd McShay's, player rankings from espn.com (Insider). As you can see, not all players selected appear in his "Top 32," but as well all know not every team sticks to their board and need often outweighs BPA philosophy.

 

Trade scenarios are based off standard NFL Draft pick value chart.

 

Please enjoy and comment. I take positive and negative criticism...so lay it on me.

 

GO RAVENS!
