Draft Tek updated its one-round 2012 NFL Draft mock today. This mock is being featured, because if nothing else it looks nice. Although the look of a site may not mean much to you, I have a hard time going to a site if its an eyesore.

But onto the mock, because that's why we're here. It's interesting to see a player like Southern California safety T.J. McDonald placed at No. 25 to the Philadelphia Eagles. McDonald, a junior, has experience at both strong and free safety. He's a solid player, but to me not a first-round pick. It's interesting that few people were talking about McDonald until NFL Draft Scout named him the top free safety in the nation.
Perhaps then it’s also just coincidence that the site has Clemson defensive tackle Brandon Thompson going in the top 10 (No. 8 to Minnesota). Again, before NFLDS updated its rankings, Thompson wasn’t quite as hot of a player. Thompson is largely a nose guard, but doesn’t have the typically required size for the position at a listed 6-foot-2, 310 pounds.
In the Andrew Luck portion of the mock, Draft Tek has the Stanford quarterback going first overall to the Cincinnati Bengals. So much for Andy Dalton. Totally missing from the mock is Oklahoma's Landry Jones, which is pretty shocking.
Slightly less shocking is seeing Oklahoma State's Justin Blackmon being mocked ahead of South Carolina's Alshon Jeffery.
The site predicts the Green Bay Packers will beat the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.
