| Ovr | Pick | Franchise | Selection | Pos. | Team | Age | Exp. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1.09 | TheHuddle.com | Larry Fitzgerald | WR | ARI | 29 | 8 |
| If you're looking for the 2012 draft stinkhole, here it is. ADP says I should take an aging, overworked running back with contract issues and a shaky offense; the sexy pick is a QB I don't trust to duplicate last year's rushing numbers. I'll play it safe with Fitz and take my risks elsewhere. | |||||||
| 2 | 2.04 | TheHuddle.com | Adrian Peterson | RB | MIN | 28 | 5 |
| Richardson was set to be the pick; nothing else on the board does much for me here. I still think AP defies the odds and is ready to go Week 1, but even if he he's not I'll settle for "only" 12 weeks of an elite back. | |||||||
| 3 | 3.09 | TheHuddle.com | Doug Martin | RB | TB | 24 | R |
| There's enough talent remaining at the other positions I can reach a bit for Martin, who I am very high on this season given the new coach and upgraded o-line in Tampa. | |||||||
| 4 | 4.04 | TheHuddle.com | Miles Austin | WR | DAL | 28 | 6 |
| While Dez Bryant chills in Goodell's doghouse, Austin goes back to being Tony Romo's BFF. | |||||||
| 5 | 5.09 | TheHuddle.com | Reggie Bush | RB | DET | 28 | 6 |
| Was planning to go a different direction here, but Bush is far and away the best player left on my board. He can be AP insurance or my flex; I'll address those other needs after the turn. | |||||||
| 6 | 6.04 | TheHuddle.com | Antonio Brown | WR | PIT | 24 | 2 |
| Was kind of hoping Stevie Johnson would make it back to me, but Brown is hardly a consolation prize. | |||||||
| 7 | 7.09 | TheHuddle.com | Robert Griffin III | QB | WAS | 23 | R |
| Was afraid I was going to miss out on the QB run; fortunately RG3 and his potential are still on the board. | |||||||
| 8 | 8.04 | TheHuddle.com | Ben Roethlisberger | QB | PIT | 31 | 8 |
| Was considering pairing RG3 with Peyton; with that plan scuttled, I'll hope Big Ben can wrap his brain around the new offense. | |||||||
| 9 | 9.09 | TheHuddle.com | Brandon Pettigrew | TE | DET | 28 | 3 |
| Would have toyed with DHB here and a TE next round, but I have no issue "settling" for a talented TE who could very well be the No. 2 receiver on his pass-happy team. | |||||||
| 10 | 10.04 | TheHuddle.com | Toby Gerhart | RB | MIN | 26 | 2 |
| A 10th-round pick that hedges my bet against normal human physiology and helps me sleep better at night in case AP is in fact human after all. | |||||||
| 11 | 11.09 | TheHuddle.com | Kendall Wright | WR | TEN | 23 | R |
| Chris Palmer has a history of putting rookie receivers to work right away; the fact that Kenny Britt can't stay out of trouble gives this pick even more upside. | |||||||
| 12 | 12.04 | TheHuddle.com | Jacob Tamme | TE | DEN | 28 | 4 |
| Was hoping Jacquizz might make it back to me. That didn't happen, so I'll back up Pettigrew with Tamme, who has obvious upside with Manning under center. | |||||||
| 13 | 13.09 | TheHuddle.com | Jerome Simpson | WR | MIN | 27 | 4 |
| Feeling a bit homerish with my third Vikings, but Simpson wowed during OTAs and has the speed to take advantage of defenses crowding the box against Minnesota's running game. | |||||||
| 14 | 14.04 | TheHuddle.com | Joe McKnight | RB | NYJ | 25 | 2 |
| McKnight is expected to take on an expanded role in the Jets' offense. Between Tony Sparano's penchant for running the ball, the potential for an upgraded o-line if Jeff Otah can stay healthy, and Shonn Greene's mediocrity there's more than enough upside to warrant investing a 14th-round pick. | |||||||
| 15 | 15.09 | TheHuddle.com | Taiwan Jones | RB | OAK | 24 | 1 |
| I like Jones' upside as a change of pace guy who would see an uptick in touches if (when) McFadden gets hurt. | |||||||
| 16 | 16.04 | TheHuddle.com | Josh Gordon | WR | CLE | 22 | R |
| When it's the 16th round you can't really call it getting sniped, but I did have the Bears D all queued up. The backup plan is a huge flier on a Browns rookie. The team is desperate for playmakers, and as my WR6 it's all upside. | |||||||
| 17 | 17.09 | TheHuddle.com | Dan Bailey | PK | DAL | 25 | 1 |
| And we've come to the necessary evils portion of the draft. | |||||||
| 18 | 18.04 | TheHuddle.com | Atlanta Defense | Def | ATL | ||
| 19 | 19.09 | TheHuddle.com | Garrett Hartley | PK | NO | 27 | 4 |
| 20 | 20.04 | TheHuddle.com | Oakland Defense | Def | OAK | ||
