2012 NFL Mock Draft: Receivers And Running Backs Popular In A New Mock

Email
PrintNFL Draft season is heating up. On Monday, the Senior Bowl starts. It's a week-long affair where draft boards get altered every year as prospects make up for bad seasons or injuries. We'll have complete coverage. For now, we've got another 2012 NFL Mock Draft to look at, this one from Russ Lande over at the Sporting News.
Lande goes a familiar direction for the Rams with the second pick. Citing their long-time need to add playmakers, especially wide receivers, he mocks none other than Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon to the Rams with the second pick.
We've been saying that the Rams will likely trade this pick to the Browns, who would take Robert Griffin III. But if the Rams keep the second pick, they will draft Blackmon to give Sam Bradford an elite receiver.
Will the Browns trade up with the Rams? Maybe. Mel Kiper said on Thursday that they are interested in adding RG3. But the Browns are more known for trading down and adding picks in recent years than surrendering picks and moving up in the draft.
If the Browns aren't interested, the Dolphins or the Redskins might be.
Some other notes about Lande's mock draft:
- He has Trent Richardson going fifth overall to the Bucs.
- RG3 and Andrew Luck are the only quarterbacks picked in the first round. Look for a couple guys to boost their stock at the Senior Bowl, the Combine or pre-draft workouts and jump into the first 32 picks. Nick Foles, Ryan Tannehill could be this year's Christian Ponder.
- Recent additions to his first round include LSU DT Michael Brockers and South Carolina DE Melvin Ingram. There is absolutely no consensus on pass rushers yet, particularly defensive linemen. I think Brockers has a good chance to be the first one off the board.
- He has four running backs getting picked in the first round, including Chris Polk. I don't see that happening. Interestingly enough he does not have Lamar Miller being drafted here.
- After Blackmon, the receivers picked in this mock are: Michael Floyd (7th), Dwight Jones (16th), Kendall Wright (19th), Juron Criner (26th) and Nick Toon (31st). No Alshon Jeffery and no Mohamed Sanu. Hmmm...

I think that many WRs being picked in the 1st round is absurd...
…based on the fact none are equated in any way with talent levels of A.J. Green and Julio Jones. To me, all but Blackmon are 2nd round talent at best. Just my opinion…
Only WR's I think have a chance at being first round picks besides Blackmon are Floyd and Jeffery.

I'd take either at pick #33
hopefully one of them falls to the second round.

I think Floyd and Jeffery both actually have higher ceilings than Blackmon
I fail to see why everyone is all on Blackmon’s jock, except for the fact that he produced great numbers at a college with a closeish geographical location to the majority of the fan base

Because we need a wr to grow with Sam
Lloyd has a few more years of being affective and he’s practically a quick fix for this team. Blackmon (no matter how you feel about him) has elite potential in many peoples eyes. You will of course argue this but Kalil or Blackmon would be fine with me..

If they truly feel that good about him than I guess go ahead and pick him
My point is that there’s just a lot of better players on the board, and it’s not like receiver is our only need.

My kingdom for a playmaker.
Blackmon gets my vote.

Sorry I'm with Buckeye on this one
No WR is as affective a player for our offense as the left tackle that is Kalil. With our O-line improved we may not even need a WR. Without improvements on the O-line, and no, they’re aren’t coming in free agency, we could have Fitz, Green, Jones, and Megatron and it won’t matter. My vote whole heartedly has to go to Kalil.
Wolf. Wolfgang Wolf
Well, like I said I wouldn't be upset if we took Kalil.
But I’m still going with an elite playmaker as our #1 need.

Yup we need a receiver that is a playmaker...
maybe even two. At first glance I’d say Blackmon is the best choice. Of course if we are certain he isn’t the guy then I suppose I’d understand picking Kali but I just think you are better off spreading outthe money across the entire OL instead of spending a lot on one guy taken at the front of the draft. I’d say Blackmon or trade down an if we can do both the booya!
Trading down has to be the first option
It’s criminal that that is still the case after 3 drafts of the same thing, but it is. Picking Kalil isn’t the only O-line pick up we need but his position is the only one we can’t get in FA.
Again I’d only pick him if a trade down wasn’t doable.
Wolf. Wolfgang Wolf
It would be awsome if we got Kalil and Decastro but highly unlikely.

Where do you come up with this crap? I think a majority of Ram fans are infact Missouri fans. We(REAL RAM FANS) like Blackmon cause he is a Weapon of Mass Destruction! it is clear you are a Laurinaitis fan. But are you really a Ram fan. Cause you ain’t from Oklahoma City or Kabul….I think you want Blackmon for the Browns. And who quotes Jesus outside a church. Must be your closeish geographical location to Denver.

YEAH DUDE I'M SO FUCKING NUTS
Closeish geographical location = same conference = more airtime in Missouri. Don’t see how the whole muslim extremeist thing is relevant, maybe you should have picked something that pertains to sports to argue your point. Yeah dude all REAL RAM FANS totally agree with you that Blackmon is a WMD and that he is obviously the pick, except oh wait, no they fucking don’t. Yes I’m a Laurinaitis fan, he went to the college team I like, so I was obviously ecstatic when we drafted him. I find it funny that you’re questioning if I’m I real rams fan just because I don’t live in St. Louis, and I don’t think that Justin Blackmon ( a man who you as a rams fan have no ties to, other than he plays in the same conference as the local college football team) is going to be the receiver that he’s cracked up to be. Yes I would like it if the Browns took Blackmon, becuase that would mean that we didn’t. Also, that quote is from an onion article, Jesus obiously didn’t say that. Lots of people quote Jesus outside of church, including the obvious answer, Tim Tebow. Just because I’m not christian doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to quote Jesus if I want to, this is a free fucking country. Also, how about we don’t bring politics on here ever again and you are never, ever alllowed to question if I’m a rams fan or not because you have proven to me time and time again that you don’t exactly possess a ton of football knowledge, so you resort to petty insults like “R U NUTS????” to prove your point. Have a nice day.

I like Wright too, he has a very fluid movement about him.
He has nice body control and some real good hands. I want to see his 40 times & leaping ability, just to see, cause what I see on vid I have no concerns. My only fault is his poor blocking. Something I think he can be coached on to improve.

i like broyles but i dont know how he would find much playing time if we drafted him
he would join the 3 other receivers on our team who are “quicker than fast” (Amendola, Salas, Pettis)
Hey Pettis hit the curb.

Also,
why take Blackman at #2,
if you could get him at 3 or 4?
Makes sense to trade down for Blackman and get extra picks.
Then I can start having Nightmares for Not picking Kalil.
Go Rams!
Agreed. If I can get Blackmon and a bunch of picks why not?

if we have our hearts set on drafting Blackmon I agree
Say we traded with the Brown,
There is no way Blackmon gets picked above Kalil, and the 2 QBs. So we should in this case take whatever the Browns offer us.
I was hoping Floyd would slip into the 2nd round
since he had those DUI’s & maturity issue, but he did a good job of keeping clean this season so there go my hopes
Fo real? Dwight Jones? Screw that guy and his oven mitts for hands
People are worried that Jefferey will be like Williams and turn out a bust for the most part. If he keeps in shape, he’ll be a great RZ threat. If he’s there in the second, teams would be stupid to pass him up

how I know a wr has bad hands is if their highlights are riddled with chest catches
I don’t know if you can tell good things about a players hands, but if in a highlight the guy doesn’t ever extend his hands on what should be his flashiest plays you know something is wrong.
He might not have the best hands
but they are certainly better than what he showed in the bowl game

If Jefferey is there in the second he's worth taking a shot on just because of his upside.

If Blackmon isn't as good as Julio Jones or AJ Green then why is there talk of us taking him at the no.2 spot..?
Besides – the opinion of most on here is that Kalil is a better (and more needed) choice.
Is Blackmon that much better than the other WRs in the draft? Is he actually worthy of being a no.2 pick?

What did AJ Green do that Blackmon hasn't?
Just wondering cause everyone is all over Blackmon for not being an elite prospect. Did AJ win the Biletnikoff? No. Did he ever win it twice? No. His 40 time was only 4.5 (good, not great), he had a 34.5" vertical again, nothing special.
Why did he go first in the draft? Cause he’s got great hands and runs great routes. He’s strong on the ball. Just like Blackmon. Fuck the three inches, I’ll take his productivity any day of the week. He is every bit as good as AJ Green. Only difference is the extra three inches but IMO Blackmon plays bigger than 6’1".
Just sayin’.

With that said, I don't mind us taking Kalil either.
I just don’t agree that Blackmon isn’t an elite prospect, cause he is.
Not talking to you RG, just everyone.

I agree with you, i think he is elite
But doesn’t have some of the intangibles that Green did coming out..

Like?
Productivity? Scoring? Big plays? Not having a single game with less than 7 catches last year (if I recall correctly)?
He’s got everything Green’s got except the three inches. But he’s a more productive WR and more of a playmaker.
Again, just sayin’.

I too agree, choosing Kalils no slam to Blackmon
Blackmon will have a probowl career for sure. He will be everything he’s projected to be.
Wolf. Wolfgang Wolf
that's the problem
what’s he projected to be? Becuse people are saying he’s going to be like a Fitzgerald or Calvin Johnson, and I completely disagree.

lack of focus, top end speed, and the offense he played in is why he put up those stats
put Floyd on that team and the stats are nearly identical

Compensation
It would be a potentially good move for The Rams to move down and attain more picks. The questions are: Hpw far down are they willing to slide; what compensation would justify trading down, and what players will likely fall to that spot.
I could not see going less than the 6th selection in the 1st round unless the offer was too good to pass on. My guess is there are teams that are more willing to go with a talent like RGIII and be willing to to pay a premium price.
Miami has young talented players A combination of players and picks: Vontae Davis and Brandon Marshall; The Dolphins 9th pick in the 1st round; in addition to their 2nd and 3rd round picks for 2012 and a 2nd rounder for 2013 would IMO justify trading the second overall pick.
this would set us up for a great offseason
I’d be very happy with that trade.
by jmo53 on Jan 20, 2012 6:03 PM CST via Android app up reply actions
Great Trade!
But no NFL front office would be that stupid…I’d swap 1st round picks with Miami for Brandon Marshall, a 2nd rounder and a 2nd rounder next year…Resign Lloyd, and pick up DeCastro at #9, or Richardson…..What about that lineup….Marshall, Lloyd, Amendola, and Salas/Pettis with S Jax or Trent Richardson……..WOW!

If the Rams FO is as high as Blackmon as many here are...
Couldn’t it be justified to trade with CLE for only the 2 1st round picks?
I Think The Rams
Have to look at all offers for that pick. I would like for The Rams to take Blackmon; but I would not want to close off other possibilties which would include a considerable compensation package for that #2 overall pick.
I agree
The FO must take the best deal, but I also worry about getting too greedy. My only point is that IF the FO ends up deciding that they really want Blackmon, CLE has to be the trade partner and anything after the 2 1st rounders is simply gravy. I’ve seen too many people thinking that the Rams have to get the 2012 1st rd, 2nd rd, 3rd rd and 2013 1st rd and 2nd picks as fair compensation. CLE will never do that, nor should they. If the Rams get a player they really want—and need—and a few more picks as well, I think the FO will have done well.
agree I wouldnt get too greedy...
we would only be moving down 2 spots. Granted alot of teams would kill for the number 2 pick, but honestly I would be happy with Cleveland’s 2 first round picks.
I think the reason the Browns have been stockpiling picks is for a situation like this..
where they can trade some of those picks for a player they really want and not be hurt as bad. I think with Philbin going to Miami Matt Flynn will join him. I think Flynn will want to go with his OC which means the Redskins,Browns, and Seahawks have a need for QB. The only team with the ammo to acquire the Rams 2nd pick would be the Browns imo. I would be the happiest fan on the planet if we can make a trade with the Browns. They get RG3 the QB of the future and we can drop just 2 spots and still get a guy we want plus add multiple future picks. If Fisher plays this well he could honestly build a solid team through this years draft with the extra picks. Cleveland just makes the most sense to me if Flynn follows Philbin to Miami.
WalterFootball
This site predicts that Peyton Manning will go to Washington or possibly NY Jets. The prediction is that the Browns trade into the 2 slot and the Rams draft Blackmon at #4. He has Zach Brown going to the Rams with the first pick of Round #2.
Id love for that to happen.
But who do they have us taking at 22 then?
nvm
went and looked. he doesnt explain what we get in return beside switching #2 and #4. so basically in his mock we just switch 2 and 4 in the 1st. doesnt really make sense.
Plus we have 22
read the 3rd section…Brockers, Fletcher Cox, Cordy Glenn or Zach Brown. Not enough picks IMO, but at least the 22 pick he suggests good picks for us, except for Glenn.

Is the top TE in this class worth a look at pick #33?
I know many people wouldn’t like this choice but I read somewhere Kendricks was one of the top blockers this year and has potential at catching(imo). Add a speedy pass catching TE and there’s a great weapon for Sam. Not as “sexy” a pick as WR but this could help a lot. I realise we’ve drafted one the past few years but I believe coaching/injuries had a lot to do with that and you don’t pass on a playmaker because you’ve missed on others.

The only tight end I would be ok with would be Dwyane Allen (TE Clemson)...
other than that I think we are fine with what we have. Alot of mocks dont have Allen past the first round.
Would he be worth it in the 2nd round if Floyd/Jeffery are gone?

LONDON UPDATE
The spice girls will unite 2 play the half time show(Tell me what you want,,,,what you realy realy want,tell me want what you realy realy want,tell me tell me?) A fukin touch down you blimey bitches.
JUST SAY NO TO KALIL!!!
Besides being OT’s who were drafted in the Top 5 by their respective teams in the last five seasons, what do Levi Brown, Joe Thomas, Jason Smith, Jake Long and Trent Williams all have in common?
They’re teams still suck.
Justin Blackmon ALL DAY!
All those teams had multiple holes to fill(hints the top 5 pick)
Are you saying if they had gone for a WR instead of OT they would be one of the better teams in the league by now? We need both but OT is more important than WR AND Kalil is better than Blackmon at their positions.
by jmo53 on Jan 21, 2012 4:57 AM CST via Android app up reply actions
none of those teams has a franchise QB

Receivers and Running Backs
You guys make me sick when you start talking about RB and WR when we have a crappy line and defense. Seriously, what is wrong with you? The best receiver in the draft is not going to catch shit with Bradford in 5 pieces on his back every other play. The D line needs a serious lineman and another LB and CB………….and after you get those start all over with the same formula. Duh!
Youre cool...

Anyone think Jerry Jones would give us the farm for RGIII?
I read Romo could be gone after this season. There is still plenty of talent left at #14 imo. Someone like Decastro, Richardson, Kirkpatrick, Floyd, Jeffrey will probably fall there and we would have a bundle of picks to work on the other holes. This is the lowest I could see trading if the price is right.
by jmo53 on Jan 21, 2012 6:13 AM CST via Android app reply actions
That Is An Interesting Scenario
What type of compensation pack do you think Jerry Jones would offer for RGIII? Do you think he would be willing to part with some young talent on The Dallas roster in addition to draft picks.? What about OLB Bruce Carter; The Dallas 2nd and 3rd round picks in 2012 and their 2nd in 2013?
I don't know much about Bruce Carter but
those picks(assuming #14 is included) and a good player at a position of need seems pretty fair to me.
