2012 NFL Mock Draft: Colts Still On Track to Select Andrew Luck
By Editorial Staff
The NFL championship picture is nearly in focus now, and April’s draft is starting to shape up, too. Here is how I see the picks playing out, as of January 27. Also, check out DC Pro Sports Report Mock Draft Database, the web’s biggest and best compendium of mock drafts.
1. Indianapolis Colts
Andrew Luck
QB, Stanford
Yeah, the Colts have a new coach, but I don’t see any reason why the hiring of Chuck Pagano would change their draft intentions, at least at the top. By May, the Horseshoes should be feeling full of Luck.
2. St. Louis Rams
Matt Kalil
OT, USC
3. Minnesota Vikings
Justin Blackmon
WR, Oklahoma State
4. Cleveland Browns
Robert Griffin III
QB, Baylor
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
