2012 NFL Mock Draft
By Editorial Staff
This is the second of many mock drafts between now and April. In order to establish a draft order for my mock I will be using my most current NFL Power Rankings. You will be able to find a new mock draft from me on the last Friday of every month. Once it begins getting closer to the Draft in April I will begin producing weekly mocks. Enjoy!
