2012 NFL Draft Prospect Power Ranking

The staff at Mocking the Draft have come together to develop a Prospect Power Ranking. This ranking is something that will be updated weekly once the College Football season begins. Everyone ranked their top 10 prospects and points were assigned for each ranking. For example, the 1st ranked player would receive 10 points and the 2nd ranked player would receive 9 points. The goal of this ranking is to try and get a consensus among the staff and receive some feedback.

Rank Player College Position Score
1 Andrew Luck Stanford Quarterback 50
2 Quinton Coples UNC Defensive Line 38
3 Alshon Jeffery South Car. Wide Receiver 35
4 Vontaze Burfict Arizona St. Linebacker 26
5 Landry Jones Oklahoma Quarterback 23
6 Jonathan Martin Stanford Offensive Tackle 22
7 Matt Barkley USC Quarterback 20
8 Dre Kirkpatrick Alabama Cornerback 16
9 Justin Blackmon Oklahoma St. Wide Receiver 13
10 Matt Kalil USC Offensive Tackle 13

Others receiving votes: Jerel Worthy, Trent Richardson, Donte Paige-Moss

*We are also looking for a graphic for the Power Ranking. If anyone has some graphic skills and wants to help us out feel free to leave a comment or shoot me an email.

He’s a bit of a liability in the run game, but his potential in the pass game was enough for Buffalo Rumblings.
