Coples and Peppers would be scary
Indeed
I don't think people are guessing as to what the teams will do, they are saying what they want to happen. Not everyone is taking this to be predictive.

With the 20th pick in the 2012 draft, the Tennessee Titans select DT Michael Brocker. With the loss of Jason Jones, the Titans need to address the middle of their line. Brocker is raw but has a good deal of upside with an impressive frame. Jerel Worthy was another possible selection here as was a pass rusher like Whitney Mercilus (to improve the 31st ranked pass rush) but I think the upside Brocker has will appeal to the Titans.
I have no choice but to try and be for teams I'm not horribly familiar with. I take that view with the Giants as well.eznark said:

GAF Mock Draft :
Indianapolis (2-14) - LukeSmith, Narag - QB - Andrew Luck
Washington (5-11) - mr2xxx, LiveWire - QB - Robert Griffin III - After trading a king's ransom to the St. Louis Rams, the Washington Redskins clearly believe that Baylor prospect Robert Griffin III, aka "RG3," is the man that can finally give the Skins stability at the quarterback position. Griffin's combination of raw athletic talent, speed, throwing strength and accuracy, field vision (as a passer and a runner), not to mention his visible leadership, charisma and work ethic clearly establish him as a can't-miss prospect. However, there remain some questions about his ability to succeed in his transition from NCAA to NFL. An ACL injury in college lurks as a potential for lingering performance issues given the assumed punishment a players' body will take at the professional level. Having spent the majority of his college career quarterbacking from shotgun/spread formations has some scouts worried whether he can fit into professional offensive schemes requiring 3-step drops and quick reads. Despite this, if ever there was a brighter future for a QB, it may only be for the man likely to be selected right before him--Stanford prospect Andrew Luck. Some even believe RG3's ceiling is potentially higher than Luck's. But let's not forget the NFL Draft history is littered with top-ranked busts, including Washington's own 1994 #3 overall draft pick Heath Shuler--a pick which the Redskins didn't have to trade two more year's worth of 1st round draft picks to acquire.
Minnesota (3-13) - Slo - T - Matt Kalil - The Minnesota Vikings draft Matt Kalil to serve as Christian Ponder's left tackle. The spot is currently held down by Charlie Johnson, but he struggled mightily last season against everyone - he'll move inside to left guard with the arrival of Kalil. The consensus on Matt Kalil amongst pro scouts is that he'll be a twelve year starter, All-Pro - type player, in the mold of Joe Thomas or Jake Long - and not that guy that the Rams drafted a few years back.
Cleveland (4-12) - Wes, hiryu - CB - Morris Claiborne
Tampa Bay (4-12) - I H8 Memes - RB - Trent Richardson - I love everybody criticizing the choice without saying who they'd pick. Reiff, overrated and not what we need on the right side. Blackmon, we are stacked at WR. LB's, C, and secondary, not worth anything higher than a 15. As I said, Bucs need Claiborne. If the real draft goes this way the Bucs are fucked and need to trade back to #13 or later where the players at positions we actually have a need at are slotted.
St. Louis (2-14) - squicken - DT - Dontari Poe
Jacksonville (5-11) - Tamanon - WR - Justin Blackmon - The Jaguars(assuming they don't somehow trade their first for Tebow(dammit)) will select with their pick Justin Blackmon, WR Oklahoma State. Thus ending his NFL career.
Miami (6-10) - Junie12 - QB - Ryan Tannehill - Since the Dolphins whiffed on Flynn, Manning and small hands, I decided to just say fuck it and draft Tannehill in the top 10. I know some Phins fans are probably angry at this pick but hear me out. There is no way that Tannehill will escape top 10 let alone top 15, there is just too many teams desperate for a QB ( looking at you Browns and Chiefs). It's similar to the Ponder pick last year. If you want your guy, then just get HIM! Even though we're not completely sold on him he is not going to cost us a fortune and what we have left to lose? If the guy doesn't work out then fine, we'll just draft a better prospect next year and the year after that until we find our guy! Plus I don't know if we're going to get Tebow or not and I don't want to leave the off-season empty handed at QB so it's better to be safe than sorry
Carolina (6-10) - Bowser - DT - Fletcher Cox - Let's face it - the Panthers were abysmal on defense last season. But it was truly the defensive line (as well as injuries), and particularly the tackle position, that created a ripple effect on the entire defensive unit. The Panthers played two rookie third round picks at DT, and while there were some bright spots, they were few and far between. Both starting DTs didn't offer much in the way of run support OR pass rush, essentially serving as warm bodies in the middle of the line. Cox is a strong, athletic DT (30 repetitions of 225 pounds, 4.79 seconds in the 40-yard dash), but unlike Poe (who is already off the board) and Brockers, has backed up his measurables with his on-field play in his time at Mississippi State (114 total tackles, 24.5 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks in his career). Also, with the Panthers said to be looking to incorproate more 3-4 looks into the defense this season, Cox's versatility and athleticism should allow him to shift outside to DE when Carolina shifts to 3-4 looks.
Buffalo (6-10) - LJ11 - T - Riley Reiff - I mean there's not much to say, they don't have a LT, so they don't have a choice. Can gamble with Massey or Adams being there in the 2nd but there's a dearth of tackles in this league. Got to take one early.
Kirpatrick, Wright, Perry, Coples are all candidates but you can't stretch the field if you don't have a LT.
Kansas City (7-9) - Futurevoid - OG - David DeCastro - I doubt he drops this far but just in case this is another pic to solidify their offense of line and protect Matt Cassel. DeCastro has all the tools to be a dominant guard in the league.
Seattle (7-9) - Canuck76, Bluemax - DE - Melvin Ingram - Over the course of the few drafts Seattle has built up their defense, specifically the secondary with good success. While we've been taking on a hard nosed defensive identity, we've established ourselves at covering in the secondary and stopping the run. However our defense hasn't put great pressure on the quarter back. Ingram will change this. An explosive DE who never gives up on a play Ingram is a force to be reckoned with. Pairing him up with our already stout interior run stopping, Ingram is a quarter back hunter, using his quickness and bull rushing to reach the quarter back. One weakness he does have is his reaction time, he's usually the last one off the block. However once he gets going he's a train headed straight for the QB, showing not a lack of speed but simply bad reaction time. Some would argue for Quinton Coples at this spot but i don't think he has the maturity that a rebuilding franchise needs
Arizona (8-8) - Squall ASF, BakedPigeon - LB - Courtney Upshaw - While the Cardinals greatest need is addressing the Offensive Line, there are no tackles available worth reaching for at the 13th pick and Guard David DeCastro is off the board. The Cardinals have an upstart in OLB Sam Acho one one side and a rotational player with upside in O'Brien Schofield on the other, but would like to bring in another piece who can provide a pass rush every down at a high level. Upshaw was the Defensive MVP in the BCS Championship game on a very talented Alabama defense and will add another weapon to Ray Horton's young talented defensive unit.
Dallas (8-8) - Sviatoslav - CB - Dre Kirkpatrick - With the 14th overall pick the Dallas Cowboys select CB Dre Kirkpatrick. If anyone watched the Cowboys play last year they would know that they had a porous O-line and a horrible secondary. With Jerrah overpaying a couple scrubs in free agency to fill holes in the O-line and Decastro gone (twice!), the secondary is where the focus will be. Dre Kirkpatrick is the best secondary player available and Jerry has shown he has no problems employing (and facilitating) drug users.
Philadelphia (8-8) - yankeehater, Brinbe, JABEE - LB - Luke Kuechly - The 2011 Butkus and Lombardi award winner, Luke is consistently seen as the top middle linebacker prospect in this draft. And although there may be better draft prospects out there at this point, he absolutely fills our top need at the moment. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Luke's young, smart, and at the combine, he capably showed he had the size/athleticism to potentially compete at the next level. He's simply a solid, no-brainer pick.
New York Jets (8-8) - darkside31337 - WR - Michael Floyd - Conventional wisdom has the Jets going defense here, and there are plenty of needs to address there, but in this scenario with Floyd falling into the Jets lap they should not think twice. Mark Sanchez desperately need a target across from Santonio, one capable of stretching the field as well as providing a red zone target which is a need now with the departure of Plax, and Floyd presents a combination of speed, size and hands that is simply too good to pass up.
Cincinnati - from Oakland (8-8) - eznark - CB - Janoris Jenkins - With the 17th pick in the 2012 NFL draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select Janoris Jenkins. The Bengals were planning on picking troubled cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick and letting the even more troubled cornerback Jenkins slip later in the round. However, Cincinnati drafts for need and does not care about character issues. Jenkins is arguably the best pure corner in the draft, and given that they have two picks in the first this year they can afford to gamble on talent and hope Marvin Lewis' extremely soft, cupcake like love will allow the kid to flourish. Or at least that he won't get himself stabbed by one of his baby-mamma's before becoming an impact player.
San Diego (8-8) - Nightz - DE - Nick Perry - The Chargers select Nick Perry. One thing that was quite obvious this past season was the lack of a pass rush. The Chargers could not get off the field or bring pressure on crucial third down situations, giving opposing QB's enough time to make plays. Perry will be brought in to play OLB and tasked with getting to the quarterback. This pick will also reunite Perry with coach Joe Barry, the former linebackers coach at USC who was hired by the Chargers this offseason.
Chicago (8-8) - yacobod, cuevas, PhD. - DE - Quinton Coples - With the 19th selection of the NFL-GAF Mock Draft, the Chicago Bears select defensive end Quinton Coples. The 6'5" 284 lb DE from North Carolina will be the perfect bookend opposite of fellow Tarheel Julius Peppers. The Chicago Bears have been looking for another outside pass rusher to take the pressure off of Peppers after failing to sign Mario Williams in free agency. The Bears are getting great value with Coples sliding down to the 19th pick of the draft.
Tennessee (9-7) - Futurevoid (sorry MOB and sf2fanatic, your 4 hours passed) - DT Michael Brocker With the loss of Jason Jones, the Titans need to address the middle of their line. Brocker is raw but has a good deal of upside with an impressive frame. Jerel Worthy was another possible selection here as was a pass rusher like Whitney Mercilus (to improve the 31st ranked pass rush) but I think the upside Brocker has will appeal to the Titans.

Yeah, can't believe Coples fell that far. He projects as a 4-3 so not right for the Cards system. I would have loved Ingram after DeCastro went off the board but he was snatched right before our pick.

You got no idea what you're talking about man. Michael Floyd is the best WR in this class and he falls to the Jets lap at 16. Gotta do it brah. Coples will suck.
lot of words but you never answered the question. who did you want drafted?
either way I PM'd who I would draft based on who was available, Coples was the BPA. bears would only be so lucky if it played out that way in April.

Do most of you guys try to predict who your team will truly take when making your choice? Or just who you think they SHOULD take?
This never happened.
RG3 wasn't playing in the SEC, what the fuck are you talking about.
A little of both. I whiffed in the 2010 GAF mock slightly by predicting Taylor Mays. Seattle ended up taking Earl Thomas. Same position, different player, better outcome.

I really wanted Brooks Reed in the 3rd RD. Where did he end up going again? late second? or did he make it to third? I'm spacing. Want to say he dropped because of pot charges or something stupid right before.
I nailed last years with Patrick Peterson but it's much easier to predict the top 5 usually. Not so easy at 13, only because I don't know who will fall for sure. I'm sure I can guess within 3 guys. Excluding trades, the only teams I got wrong in the top 10 last year were Buffalo, Dallas, and SF. For some reason I couldn't decide on what Buffalo would do. Oh yeah, didn't predict Locker to Titans either :jnc

Personally, I try to predict who the team will take. Not who I want. Last year, there was no way in hell Giants-Gaf could have predicted the Prince dropping to 19. He was a concensus top 10/top 15 pick.SquallASF said:
Ez, your on the clock for the Bengals.
2 42 Houston Texans Brooks Reed DE Arizona Pac-10
So, if the draft breaks this way there is no chance the Bengals keep this pick. Jonathan Martin is still on the board and they have zero use for a tackle making first round money since they have Smith and Whitworth, both of whom played well last year. It's ridiculous that he has yet to be taken. I also don't think the Bengals would take an interior linemen in the first. That said...
With the 21st pick in the 2012 NFL Draft the Cincinnati Bengals select Devon Still. Again, this is going by the general Bengals (idiotic) mantra of drafting for need instead of best available. The Bengals need some size and depth up front. Peko and Hayden aren't terrible, but they aren't world beaters either. Devon Still will fit in great! Coming from Pedo State, he was able to feast on shitty teams and disappear against strong opponents...just like the Bengals! He is strong, has a quick burst off the line and showed an ability to beat doubles (when he wanted to). He was marginally effective against the run and excelled as an interior pass rusher. Put him on a line with Peko, Dunlap and Geathers and he could be pretty damn special. He's also considered "NFL ready" which is a plus since that division is abject garbage and winnable immediately.
BROWNS ARE ON THE CLOCK
With the 21st pick in the 2012 NFL Draft the Cincinnati Bengals select Devon Still. Again, this is going by the general Bengals (idiotic) mantra of drafting for need instead of best available. The Bengals need some size and depth up front. Peko and Hayden aren't terrible, but they aren't world beaters either. Devon Still will fit in great!

GAF Mock Draft :
Indianapolis (2-14) - LukeSmith, Narag - QB - Andrew Luck
Washington (5-11) - mr2xxx, LiveWire - QB - Robert Griffin III - After trading a king's ransom to the St. Louis Rams, the Washington Redskins clearly believe that Baylor prospect Robert Griffin III, aka "RG3," is the man that can finally give the Skins stability at the quarterback position. Griffin's combination of raw athletic talent, speed, throwing strength and accuracy, field vision (as a passer and a runner), not to mention his visible leadership, charisma and work ethic clearly establish him as a can't-miss prospect. However, there remain some questions about his ability to succeed in his transition from NCAA to NFL. An ACL injury in college lurks as a potential for lingering performance issues given the assumed punishment a players' body will take at the professional level. Having spent the majority of his college career quarterbacking from shotgun/spread formations has some scouts worried whether he can fit into professional offensive schemes requiring 3-step drops and quick reads. Despite this, if ever there was a brighter future for a QB, it may only be for the man likely to be selected right before him--Stanford prospect Andrew Luck. Some even believe RG3's ceiling is potentially higher than Luck's. But let's not forget the NFL Draft history is littered with top-ranked busts, including Washington's own 1994 #3 overall draft pick Heath Shuler--a pick which the Redskins didn't have to trade two more year's worth of 1st round draft picks to acquire.
Minnesota (3-13) - Slo - T - Matt Kalil - The Minnesota Vikings draft Matt Kalil to serve as Christian Ponder's left tackle. The spot is currently held down by Charlie Johnson, but he struggled mightily last season against everyone - he'll move inside to left guard with the arrival of Kalil. The consensus on Matt Kalil amongst pro scouts is that he'll be a twelve year starter, All-Pro - type player, in the mold of Joe Thomas or Jake Long - and not that guy that the Rams drafted a few years back.
Cleveland (4-12) - Wes, hiryu - CB - Morris Claiborne
Tampa Bay (4-12) - I H8 Memes - RB - Trent Richardson - I love everybody criticizing the choice without saying who they'd pick. Reiff, overrated and not what we need on the right side. Blackmon, we are stacked at WR. LB's, C, and secondary, not worth anything higher than a 15. As I said, Bucs need Claiborne. If the real draft goes this way the Bucs are fucked and need to trade back to #13 or later where the players at positions we actually have a need at are slotted.
St. Louis (2-14) - squicken - DT - Dontari Poe
Jacksonville (5-11) - Tamanon - WR - Justin Blackmon - The Jaguars(assuming they don't somehow trade their first for Tebow(dammit)) will select with their pick Justin Blackmon, WR Oklahoma State. Thus ending his NFL career.
Miami (6-10) - Junie12 - QB - Ryan Tannehill - Since the Dolphins whiffed on Flynn, Manning and small hands, I decided to just say fuck it and draft Tannehill in the top 10. I know some Phins fans are probably angry at this pick but hear me out. There is no way that Tannehill will escape top 10 let alone top 15, there is just too many teams desperate for a QB ( looking at you Browns and Chiefs). It's similar to the Ponder pick last year. If you want your guy, then just get HIM! Even though we're not completely sold on him he is not going to cost us a fortune and what we have left to lose? If the guy doesn't work out then fine, we'll just draft a better prospect next year and the year after that until we find our guy! Plus I don't know if we're going to get Tebow or not and I don't want to leave the off-season empty handed at QB so it's better to be safe than sorry
Carolina (6-10) - Bowser - DT - Fletcher Cox - Let's face it - the Panthers were abysmal on defense last season. But it was truly the defensive line (as well as injuries), and particularly the tackle position, that created a ripple effect on the entire defensive unit. The Panthers played two rookie third round picks at DT, and while there were some bright spots, they were few and far between. Both starting DTs didn't offer much in the way of run support OR pass rush, essentially serving as warm bodies in the middle of the line. Cox is a strong, athletic DT (30 repetitions of 225 pounds, 4.79 seconds in the 40-yard dash), but unlike Poe (who is already off the board) and Brockers, has backed up his measurables with his on-field play in his time at Mississippi State (114 total tackles, 24.5 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks in his career). Also, with the Panthers said to be looking to incorproate more 3-4 looks into the defense this season, Cox's versatility and athleticism should allow him to shift outside to DE when Carolina shifts to 3-4 looks.
Buffalo (6-10) - LJ11 - T - Riley Reiff - I mean there's not much to say, they don't have a LT, so they don't have a choice. Can gamble with Massey or Adams being there in the 2nd but there's a dearth of tackles in this league. Got to take one early.
Kirpatrick, Wright, Perry, Coples are all candidates but you can't stretch the field if you don't have a LT.
Kansas City (7-9) - Futurevoid - OG - David DeCastro - I doubt he drops this far but just in case this is another pic to solidify their offense of line and protect Matt Cassel. DeCastro has all the tools to be a dominant guard in the league.
Seattle (7-9) - Canuck76, Bluemax - DE - Melvin Ingram - Over the course of the few drafts Seattle has built up their defense, specifically the secondary with good success. While we've been taking on a hard nosed defensive identity, we've established ourselves at covering in the secondary and stopping the run. However our defense hasn't put great pressure on the quarter back. Ingram will change this. An explosive DE who never gives up on a play Ingram is a force to be reckoned with. Pairing him up with our already stout interior run stopping, Ingram is a quarter back hunter, using his quickness and bull rushing to reach the quarter back. One weakness he does have is his reaction time, he's usually the last one off the block. However once he gets going he's a train headed straight for the QB, showing not a lack of speed but simply bad reaction time. Some would argue for Quinton Coples at this spot but i don't think he has the maturity that a rebuilding franchise needs
Arizona (8-8) - Squall ASF, BakedPigeon - LB - Courtney Upshaw - While the Cardinals greatest need is addressing the Offensive Line, there are no tackles available worth reaching for at the 13th pick and Guard David DeCastro is off the board. The Cardinals have an upstart in OLB Sam Acho one one side and a rotational player with upside in O'Brien Schofield on the other, but would like to bring in another piece who can provide a pass rush every down at a high level. Upshaw was the Defensive MVP in the BCS Championship game on a very talented Alabama defense and will add another weapon to Ray Horton's young talented defensive unit.
Dallas (8-8) - Sviatoslav - CB - Dre Kirkpatrick - With the 14th overall pick the Dallas Cowboys select CB Dre Kirkpatrick. If anyone watched the Cowboys play last year they would know that they had a porous O-line and a horrible secondary. With Jerrah overpaying a couple scrubs in free agency to fill holes in the O-line and Decastro gone (twice!), the secondary is where the focus will be. Dre Kirkpatrick is the best secondary player available and Jerry has shown he has no problems employing (and facilitating) drug users.
Philadelphia (8-8) - yankeehater, Brinbe, JABEE - LB - Luke Kuechly - The 2011 Butkus and Lombardi award winner, Luke is consistently seen as the top middle linebacker prospect in this draft. And although there may be better draft prospects out there at this point, he absolutely fills our top need at the moment. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Luke's young, smart, and at the combine, he capably showed he had the size/athleticism to potentially compete at the next level. He's simply a solid, no-brainer pick.
New York Jets (8-8) - darkside31337 - WR - Michael Floyd - Conventional wisdom has the Jets going defense here, and there are plenty of needs to address there, but in this scenario with Floyd falling into the Jets lap they should not think twice. Mark Sanchez desperately need a target across from Santonio, one capable of stretching the field as well as providing a red zone target which is a need now with the departure of Plax, and Floyd presents a combination of speed, size and hands that is simply too good to pass up.
Cincinnati - from Oakland (8-8) - eznark - CB - Janoris Jenkins - With the 17th pick in the 2012 NFL draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select Janoris Jenkins. The Bengals were planning on picking troubled cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick and letting the even more troubled cornerback Jenkins slip later in the round. However, Cincinnati drafts for need and does not care about character issues. Jenkins is arguably the best pure corner in the draft, and given that they have two picks in the first this year they can afford to gamble on talent and hope Marvin Lewis' extremely soft, cupcake like love will allow the kid to flourish. Or at least that he won't get himself stabbed by one of his baby-mamma's before becoming an impact player.
San Diego (8-8) - Nightz - DE - Nick Perry - The Chargers select Nick Perry. One thing that was quite obvious this past season was the lack of a pass rush. The Chargers could not get off the field or bring pressure on crucial third down situations, giving opposing QB's enough time to make plays. Perry will be brought in to play OLB and tasked with getting to the quarterback. This pick will also reunite Perry with coach Joe Barry, the former linebackers coach at USC who was hired by the Chargers this offseason.
Chicago (8-8) - yacobod, cuevas, PhD. - DE - Quinton Coples - With the 19th selection of the NFL-GAF Mock Draft, the Chicago Bears select defensive end Quinton Coples. The 6'5" 284 lb DE from North Carolina will be the perfect bookend opposite of fellow Tarheel Julius Peppers. The Chicago Bears have been looking for another outside pass rusher to take the pressure off of Peppers after failing to sign Mario Williams in free agency. The Bears are getting great value with Coples sliding down to the 19th pick of the draft.
Tennessee (9-7) - Futurevoid (sorry MOB and sf2fanatic, your 4 hours passed) - DT - Michael Brocker With the loss of Jason Jones, the Titans need to address the middle of their line. Brocker is raw but has a good deal of upside with an impressive frame. Jerel Worthy was another possible selection here as was a pass rusher like Whitney Mercilus (to improve the 31st ranked pass rush) but I think the upside Brocker has will appeal to the Titans.
Cincinnati* (9-7) - eznark - DT - Devon Still - Again, this is going by the general Bengals (idiotic) mantra of drafting for need instead of best available. The Bengals need some size and depth up front. Peko and Hayden aren't terrible, but they aren't world beaters either. Devon Still will fit in great! Coming from Pedo State, he was able to feast on shitty teams and disappear against strong opponents...just like the Bengals! He is strong, has a quick burst off the line and showed an ability to beat doubles (when he wanted to). He was marginally effective against the run and excelled as an interior pass rusher.

He is strong, has a quick burst off the line and showed an ability to beat doubles (when he wanted to). He was marginally effective against the run and excelled as an interior pass rusher. Put him on a line with Peko, Dunlap and Geathers and he could be pretty damn special. He's also considered "NFL ready" which is a plus since that division is abject garbage and winnable immediately.

Schefter picked it up after Mort made it up this morning. It was literally a "musing" of Morts. He went on ESPN Milwaukee and said he had no information that the Packers were actually looking at trading for him, just that it would maybe make sense since McCarthy said he liked Tebow in 2010.
