Hey guys, I've updated my mock draft for the end of the season/pre-combine.

You can check it out here: 2012 NFL Mock Draft

Let me know what you think. Would love to hear your feedback!

Let me just say that this was a tough pick, and it took me a while to decide on. It's going to be tough for you guys if Blackmon/Luck/Griffin/Claiborne all go before your pick. Value wise it seems like 6th is just where the first tier of prospects fall off IMO

I honestly can't imagine another OL pick in the top 10 so soon. I figure trading up or down is most likely, since #6 doesn't really put us in ideal position for what we need. Both QBs would likely be gone, OL is needed, but not that high and no other position is of high enough priority to take there.

Just my take on it, and I openly admit to not being an expert.

So help me GOD if we take an OT at #6. I feel like we're gunna trade up for RGIII, but if we can't and RGII/Luck is off the board, I'd hope we'd trade back for more picks. If we draft Reiff I'll probably cry

Given who he has going in the top 5 and he isn't projecting trades, who else would you take at 6? The choice could really only be between Reiff and Kirkpatrick and do you really want another drug problem on your team?

I personally have no idea. I don't actually see us picking at 6 regardless of what happens, we'll either be at 2 or trade back in my mind. But I feel Reiff is a reach at 6. Say Kalil happened to fall to us at 6, then itd be justified to take an OT but other than that I don't know who we'd pick at 6.

Exactly man, I was stuck on that pick for a while. Though I am very high on Kirkpatrick, I think he might have a few more character concerns now that have pushed him down a bit. Hence why I went with Reiff. It's a tough situation with all the top skill players gone, hence why most of the reply's here aren't positive. But at the same time, it's a very real possibility that Claiborne, Luck, Griffin and Blackmon are all gone by 6. Although a trade down would be the idea option.

Anyways, it's a tough position that you guys may or may not have to deal with come draft day.

The Redskins have Willie Smith, who can step in a play RT. I don't agree with your mock draft at all. The Redskins most pressing need is quarterback and until they draft a franchise quarterback this team will continue to finish 4-12, 5-11, and 6-10 every year. They have to trade up and that means giving up their 6th overall and their 1st round pick next year. Tannehill, Foles, and Weeden are all developmental projects who are not ready to play yet. Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan need to pull the trigger and select RG3 and move up in the draft.

You can find elite offensive line men in the late rounds and into undrafted, investing a lot of 1st round picks into your o line (besides LT) is a waste of resources most of the time, 2nd round is where you can more often than not strike gold also. Unless Walter Jones, Steve Hutchinson, or Jonathan Ogden are sitting there at 6 I want a skill position player at number 6, namely a QB, a specific QB who was awarded a certain collegiate accolade.

Good point. The OP's first 5 picks are in line with what I have seen recently on other sites like walterfootball. And trading down, while possible, is no sure thing. I agree that at #6 the pick would come down to Reiff or Kirkpatrick. Richardson is intriguing, but he doesn't fill a need.

Maybe someone will want to trade up for Richardson?

I think if Jerel Worthy is still available, I'd rather take him as a solution to our pass rush problem than an OLB. The difference between our pass rush a year ago and this past season is the absence of an inside push as provided by Cullen Jenkins. If we can collapse the pocket and keep the QB from stepping up, that'll push him right into Clay Matthews, which I think will have a greater impact than another edge rusher while still allowing the QB to step up into the pocket.

True.

The only offensive linemen you take in the top 10 are left tackles. They are the only OL considered premium blue-chip players.

You DO NOT take a right tackle (or someone you plan to put there) in the top 10. You can find them (and players who can play that position) in later rounds.

This was not a well thought out choice, IMO.
