Bengals definitely have a need on the interior line so it fills a need. A bit of a reach because I think he's a 2nd round prospect, but I doubt he would have made it to your 2nd round pick.

I definitely think guys will have the philosophy of drafting for need in this mock because the real draft will be more geared toward that now with the new CBA. It's not as big a deal to reach on a guy anymore because you won't be investing $20-30 mil on him.

I agree. I think teams will do as much as they can in free agency, and then work more to fill holes in the draft regardless of value. It's not nearly as big of a deal now to make a reach or draft a bust, and I really like that setup. Make the rookies earn it, and if they don't then UDFAs like Foster and Brisiel will take their spots.

would love an explanation for this.

Zietler is a great player would love it if the texans got him in the real draft but in the 2nd.

Great pick

Zietler was my 2nd rated OG. He will be a fixture on the Bengals OL for 10 yrs. Wanted him for the Cowgirls.

I like the way you just took a solid player instead of reacing for need. There will be a very good CB/RB that will be there at 21 and in the 2nd rd.

[Dutchrudder]

I don't want to have to track back several pages to find the order. Here it is:

19- Bears- MistaRed
20- Titans- Señor Stan
21- Bengals- Kaiser Toro
22- Browns- Dutchrudder
23- Lions- Super Mario
24- Steelers- Stingray
25- Broncos- JCTexan
26- Texans- Group Selection
27- Patriots- Beerlover
28- Packers-nytexan
29- Ravens- WolverineFan
30- 49ers- Rey
31- Patriots- Beerlover
32- Giants- KMG 365

MistaRed and the Bears are on the clock.

[MistaRed]

With the 19th pick in the 2012 Nfl Draft the Chicago Bears select:



Kendall Wright, WR from Baylor

[kiwitexansfan]

I was wondering when Wright was going to go. Cutler will enjoy the anticipation of throwing to Wright, just before he gets sacked.

[Señor Stan]

On my mobile...will pick soon.

Bironas is getting old, you should pick a kicker.

[WolverineFan]

Good pick for da' Bears. That's a decent corp of WR's with Wright, Knox (who they under-utilize severely), Bennett, Hester, and Sanzenbacher. Lots of speed, but not a whole lot of size.

I think, come draft time, CHI best case scenario is Floyd dropping to them but that won't happen.

[Texan4Ever]

Mike Martz retired right? If so, wonder how the new offense will look.

I think Mike Tice is taking over as OC so I'd expect the O-Line to be better and for there to be a bigger emphasis on the running game. They still need to upgrade at WR though.

[Señor Stan]

Roger Goodell has just come to the podium and announced a trade...

[Señor Stan]

just kidding...

with the 20th pick Bud Adams and his Tennessee Titans select

Dre Kirkpatrick CB Alabama






Poor interview...check
Busted for weed...check
Irish sounding last name...check
tons of talent, 6'3" and a 4.5 forty time...check

Titans look past the baggage and get Cortland innegan's replacement.

[Dutchrudder]

I was thinking of taking him at 22... Good pick, lots of talent, fills a need, and he's tall enough to go 1 on 1 with AJ.

[Kaiser Toro]

The Bengals take, Dont'a Hightower, LB, Alabama

[Dutchrudder]

After failing to acquire RG3 early on in the draft, the Browns continue to build around Colt McCoy and give him the best chance to be successful. After getting Blackmon at #4, they address the offense's second biggest need, Right Tackle, by taking OT Mike Adams with the #22 pick!



At 7'7 325 pounds, Adams is big guy that fills a big need. Adams was born in Ohio and played at The Ohio State University, so you know he will become a fan favorite in no time. Tony Pashos is getting old and unreliable and needs to go. He will likely be cut after the draft to save about 2.75 million in cap space. Adams will have several years to work opposite one of the best LTs in the league in Joe Thomas.


Super Mario and the Lions are now on the clock!

After missing out on RG3, I bet dutch takes Ryan Tannehill.

Speaking of RG3, why the heck did the Vikings take him? Doesnt make a lick of sense to me.

[Blake]

Like I said, Mike Adams will be the pick. haha

I don't consider Tannehill worthy of a 1st round pick, nor much of an upgrade over a 3rd year Colt McCoy. If he makes it to 37, I'll consider him, but I would rather fill a real need with a good player than pick him.
