| Pick | Record | Team | Comment | | Player |
| 1 | - |  | Life after Manning starts. Luck may not start next season but the Colts make sure their drop off after Peyton won't be far. | | Andrew Luck, QB - Stanford |
| 2 | - |  | The Rams need a playmaker opposite Lloyd so Sam Bradford can develop. They will get back Saffold and Smith at the tackle spots. This could be a quick turnaround for the offense by adding Blackmon. | | Justin Blackmon, WR - Oklahoma State |
| 3 | - |  | The Peterson injury means they OL needs to be even better to open holes for Gerhart. They also need to keep Ponder upright as he develops. | | Matt Kalil, OT - USC |
| 4 | - |  | They need help every where. They fans want someone exciting. The Browns will be forced into this pick. They better give him help later in the draft or it will be a wasted pick and they will be searching for RG4 in 3 years. | | Robert Griffin III, QB - Baylor |
| 5 | - |  | Blount didn't have a great year and the Bucs can get the most explosive player in the 2012 NFL Draft. They will use a dual back system until they realize they just can't take Richardson off the field. | | Trent Richardson, RB - Alabama |
| 6 | - |  | The Skins lock up one of the best lock down corners in the draft. | | Morris Claiborne, CB - LSU |
| 7 | - |  | This pick won't seem like a stretch after the combine. The Jags finally get their number one option. Gabbert should have no excuses. | | Michael Floyd, WR - Notre Dame |
| 8 | - |  | Carolina gets some much needed help on the defensive side. Brockers can clog the holes up in a hurry. | | Michael Brockers, DT - LSU |
| 9 | - |  | The Fish need someone to step into the playmaker role that Jason Taylor vacated. Kuechly is fundamentally sound and a fierce tackling machine. | | Luke Kuechly, LB - Boston College |
| 10 | - |  | The Bills need defensive help. Coples is the best player available and fills a need. | | Quinton Coples, DE - North Carolina |
| 11 | - |  | The running game gets a boost from Reiff. Whether the QB is Matt Cassel or Kyle Orton they will be happy that their backside is protected. | | Riley Reiff, OT - Iowa |
| 12 | - |  | The defense could use a better DL to plug up the holes. | | Devon Still, DT - Penn State |
| 13 | - |  | One of their 3 offensive holes is filled with the drafting of Martin. The 2012 NFL Draft starts out good for the Cardinals. | | Jonathan Martin, OT - Stanford |
| 14 | - |  | The Cowboys get maybe the most talented DB in the 2012 Draft class. He becomes their best DB immediately. | | Dre Kirkpatrick, CB - Alabama |
| 15 | - |  | The Eagles get possibly the best tackler in the draft. | | Courtney Upshaw, OLB - Alabama |
| 16 | - |  | NY has to run the ball better. DeCastro will help make Greene a little better and make the left side of the line dominant over to the center spot. | | David DeCastro, OG - Stanford |
| 17 | - |  | The defensive backfield struggled due to injury this season. They get an upgrade and add significant depth with this pick. | | Janoris Jenkins, CB - North Alabama |
| 18 | - |  | The Chargers need some new talent on the defensive side of the ball. Burfict is a hard hitter and maniac on the field. He will need to learn to wrap up at the next level. | | Vontaze Burfict, ILB - Arizona St. |
| 19 | - |  | Jeffery give Cutler the number one option he hasn't had since Brandon Marshall. | | Alshon Jeffery, WR - S. Carolina |
| 20 | - |  | The defensive backfield gets a nice boost with one of the better playmakers in the draft. | | Alfonzo Dennard, CB - Nebraska |
| 21 | - | | Benson should be back for another season at least. Wilson will provide quality backup carries until he eventually takes the job on 2013. | | David Wilson, RB - Virginia Tech |
| 22 | - | | The Browns hope Miller can take some pressure off RG3 early. They will need to put a RT and WR at his disposal in the next two rounds. | | Lamar Miller, RB - Miami |
| 23 | - |  | The Lions get another defensive playmaker that can be the steady leader they need. | | Dont'a Hightower, LB - Alabama |
| 24 | - |  | Pittsburgh has to improve up front on both sides of the ball due to injury or age. Konz could move Pouncey to guard improving that spot while not losing any center play. | | Peter Konz, C - Wisconsin |
| 25 | - |  | Worthy can clog things up similar to how Williams does now. | | Jerel Worthy, DT - Michigan State |
| 26 | - |  | The Texans add the best safety to their defensive backfield. Remember when the defensive backfield was a weakness. Not anymore. | | Mark Barron, S - Alabama |
| 27 | - |  | They need to make sure the OL keeps their franchise upright. Glenn can play alongside Bulaga and Sherrod for years. | | Cordy Glenn, OG - Georgia |
| 28 | - |  | The defense could use more versatility at the LB spot. Lewis is one of the best prospects in the class. | | Ronnell Lewis, OLB - Oklahoma |
| 29 | - |  | Branch will challenge Redding immediatley. A disciplined player will fit in great with a stout defense. | | Andre Branch, DE - Clemson |
| 30 | - |  | The linebackers need to make more plays. Brown is the best LB left. | | Zach Brown, OLB, North Carolina |
| 31 | - | | The defense gets another playmaker. Ingram should be versatile enough to move around on the line. | | Melvin Ingram, DE - South Carolina |
| 32 | - |  | They need someone to stretch the field opposite Crabtree and Davis. Alex Smith gets another option. | | Kendall Wright, WR - Baylor |
