2012 NeoGAF Madden Season 1 Mock Draft
1.
Packers 3-11- Having a perfect team, the Packers really don't have any needs persay and it would be best if they traded out of this spot. With that said an upgrade at OLB would be best.
OLB Mike Crawford is the pick here. Instantly upgrades the defense overnight
2.
Redskins 3-11- Looking to trade out of this spot, the Redskins have many needs and it probably a good idea to get a ransom for this pick. They do have needs at QB/OL/RB/DL. If they keep the pick it would be smart to select
QB Jeremy Riggs. Instantly gives Cooley and Moss a QB who can hit them in stride.
3.
Seahawks 3-11 Having needs at QB and CB, the Hawks have a tough choice to make here. I would guess
QB Chandler Jones is the pick here. QB play makes a big difference.
4.
Ravens 3-10-1 Another stacked team with little holes to fill. They can go MLB here to groom in Ray Lewis' replacement or actually upgrade the TE position that remains thin when Heap left town. I think the Raven go TE here with
Cody Hoppes. A gamebreaker that will open holes for Ray Rice and leave Boldin in single coverage.
5.
Browns 3-11 The Browns are in a delightful position with a top 5 pick and a top ten pick from the underachieving Falcons. The top QBs off the board only means the Colt bandwagon moves forward. The needs are many but at 5
MLB Jacorie Joplin is to good to miss. His versatility allow him to play any LB position.
6.
Chiefs 4-10 The Chiefs are kicking themselves missing out on Joplin ( soooo close ) The needs are at DT/OLB and could use upgrades at FS and CB. My guess at this spot would be
DT Jorvante Manning. His upside and impact on the game could be Suh like. It would instantly upgrade the run D and help those CBs in coverage with the pressure he would generate.
7.
Cowboys 4-10 The needs for the Gurls are at C, DE and maybe FS. The best bet would be
DE Marshyl Mckenzie. It would help generate a pure pass rush that would generate turnovers.
8.
Rams 4-10 The needs are many, the pick is going to be a WR. Bradford needs a number 1 target and no better than the best wideout in the draft
De'Joshua Marshall The other needs can be taken care of in free agency.
9.
Titans 4-9-1 " The Legend Killer " is riding a wave of confidence after displaying the ability to take down the best the league has to offer. The needs are on both Lines. With Manning taken three spots back the Titans may have to settle for best available or reach for a C or DT. With this pick the Titans will go Dline and select
DE OJ Morgan. They will convert him to play DT. At 6'2" 315lbs, he has the size and skill to convert.
10.
Falcons 5-9 (Belongs to the
Browns) With a heavy heart i type this
Going with Joplin at 5, the Browns are poised to add to an already stellar defense with an addition to the secondary. FS Mike Adams is in his last year and is going to start declining at 30 years of age so the Browns infused the secondary with a jolt of youth and All Pro talent in
FS Marques Dawson
11.
Patriots 5-9 Lord Brady has been involved in trade talks which doesn't make any sense unless he gets a top three pick that would allow him to select Riggs or Jones. With that said
SS Jye Boyd. Starts from day 1 and trys to help that weak Patriots secondary.
12.
Bears 6-8 Unable to out tank the best tankers in the business, The Bears are left out of the Fab Five of elite Madden draft talent. SS Chris Harris is to rich for Chicago's empty pockets so Boyd would have been a great replacement. I think the Bears will go best available and go with
WR Antwan Barksdale walks into camp as the number 1 day 1.
13.
Bills 6-8 Fighting hard to stay in the playoff hunt, the Bills are an up and coming team with good talent at every position. The Oline needs an upgrade to help Fitz in the pocket and create holes for Jackson. The pick here should be
T Jake Bucher.
14.
Dolphins 6-8 In the fight for a playoff spot the Phins looks to have needs @ RB and FS. I assume RB is going to be locked done by toss king Bush. So the only choice here is
FS Tercel Aaron.
15.
Jaguars 6-8 Marcedes Lewis has become a hall of fame TE in one season. The only glaring need for the Jags is at CB which would make this an easy pick with
CB Jamarion Franklin. Starts day 1
16.
Lions 6-8 The Lions are pissed, almost as bad when the Knicks lost Curry one pick before them
Franklin was the only pick on the draft board they wanted. Now they have to reach for the second best Cb or go best available here. I think they will reach and go with
CB Larry Washington.
17.
Jets 7-7 The needs are not many but DE. The reach but get a sloid player to shore up the Dline.
DE Damion Beachum is the pick here.
18.
Panthers 7-7 The upstart Panthers need to improve the interior and no better than
DT Montra Haynes
19.
Saints 7-7 The needs are simple. T,T and T. So the Saints choose one in
T Tyree Walker
20.
Cardinals 8-6 Cards need little and are doing a great job with what they have but an upgrade at CB would help their cause. The pick is
CB Brion Lawson.
21.
Broncos 8-6 Need major help at C ( not that it matters with Devine raping the league ) The pick here is
C Erick Daniel
22.
Vikings 8-6 Vikings have holes at G, and OLB. best available here is
LB Reggie Cooper
23.
Chargers 9-5 Could use upgrades at RB or DT. The play here is
DT Bryce Houston
24.
Colts 9-5 Rumored to be trading into the top 5 this pick may or may not be theirs to pick with. If things stay the same the Colts could just end up picking best available at this point, especially on the Oline. The play here is
G Brody Harris
25.
Buccs 10-4 Needs nothing defensively and could use a G upgrade. The pick here is G
Quintin Green
26.
Steelers 10-4 The need here is to throw less ints
Oline could also use an upgrade so lets pencil in the best one left in the draft regardless of position.
T Isiac Strong
27.
Bengals 10-4 RB could use an upgrade and the best one here is
RB Sterlin Freeman
28.
Texans 10-4 Looking to stuff the run, the Texans pair up Babineaux with
DT Algrenon Spencer
29.
Eagles 11-3 Eagles would love to upgrade the LB position and do so here with
MLB BJ Hall
30.
Giants 11-3 Needing Oline help, the GMen take
T Stanley Wright here.
31.
49ers 13-1 Depth is nice
And
CB Prince Justice adds that and the ability to take over the top Cb spot in a few years.
32.
Raiders 14-0 What does a shitty team with a S user need? A better QB, so lets give him one with
QB Jaxon Boone.
Yes, i'm bored and that took longer than i thought it would
Enjoy.
