PresswireWe are now three rounds down in the 2012 NFL Draft. The 1st round came and went on Thursday night and two more rounds were completed on Friday night. Rounds 4-7 come on Saturday afternoon.
At about the halfway point of the NFL Draft, it’s time for another set of grades. Here’s a recap of the picks in Round 1, Round 2 and Round 3.
Read Article >2012 NFL Draft Results: LSU WR Rueben Randle Selected By The New York Giants With The 63rd Pick
Randle started two years at LSU and also saw significant playing time during his freshman year. He posted career highs of 53 receptions, 917 yards, 17.3 yards per reception and eight touchdowns in 2011. Randle’s measurables are excellent, but his lack of production relative to other receivers in the class kept him from projecting as a first-round pick before the draft. He did improve in each year, however, and played on a two-quarterback team with two quarterbacks who were not particularly great passers. Randle checks in at 6’4” and 208 pounds, so he fits the ideal body type for a wide receiver.
Many expected Randle to be drafted much higher than this. The Giants get a dynamic playmaker who could thrive with Eli Manning throwing him the ball. New York selected running back David Wilson in the first round.

Here’s what Mocking The Draft had to say about James before the draft.
James joins a crowded backfield with Frank Gore and Kendall Hunter, a second-year player. He is the second offensive player selected by the 49ers in this draft, following their first-round selection of A.J. Jenkins, a wide receiver from Illinois.

The Packers plan to take Vanderbilt CB Casey Hayward with the 62nd pick.
They also traded up eight spots in the 2nd round to select Michigan State DT Jerel Worthy.
Read Article >2012 NFL Draft Results: Iowa State G Kelechi Osemele Selected By The Baltimore Ravens With The 60th Pick
Osemele was a four-year starter at Iowa State, where he was asked to play multiple positions during his college career. He was named first-team All-Big 12 in his senior season. He’s a huge lineman at 6-foot-5 and 333 pounds, and he could play either tackle or guard in the NFL. He has experience at both positions and has been projected by most as a guard in the pros, but could play right tackle as well.
The Ravens traded out of the first round and used the 35th pick in the second round to select Alabama defensive end Courtney Upshaw. Osemele helps fill the void left by Ben Grubbs’ departure in free agency.

Here’s what Mocking The Draft had to say about Curry before the draft.
Curry joins first rounder DT Fletcher Cox and second rounder LB Mychal Kendricks on the Eagles.
Read Article >Bucs-Texans Trade: Tampa Bay Moves Into Round 2
The Bucs target is Nebraska LB Lavonte David. Tampa must have liked him quite a bit if they were willing to surrender extra 3rd and 4th round picks to do the deal.
The Bucs moved down in the 1st round from the 5th to the 7th pick and selected Alabama safety Mark Barron, the top safety in the draft. Adding pieces to their defense was one of the keys to this draft and they’ve found two potential starters with their first two picks.

Read Article >2012 NFL Draft Results: ASU QB Brock Osweiler Selected By Denver Broncos With 57th Pick
With the 57th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos selected Arizona State Sun Devils quarterback Brock Osweiler. Peyton Manning was signed in free agency, so the Broncos are hoping to set themselves up for the post-Manning era before it’s even really started.
Osweiler is the 62nd rated prospect in the draft and the fifth-rated quarterback, according to Mocking The Draft’s rankings.
Read Article >2012 NFL Draft Results: Wisconsin C Peter Konz Selected By The Atlanta Falcons With The 55th Pick
Konz bolsters a Falcons offensive line in need of better and younger depth. Once regarded as a potential first-round pick and the best center in the draft, Konz in the 55th spot is a mild upset, but one the Falcons will certainly appreciate.
From the scouting report at Mocking the Draft:
Read Article >2012 NFL Draft Results: Oklahoma WR Ryan Broyles Selected By Detroit Lions With 54th Pick
In his time at Oklahoma, Broyles was absolutely prolific. He had 15 touchdowns in his sophomore year, 14 in his junior year, and 10 in just nine games in his senior year before he tore his ACL. Here’s what Mocking The Draft had to say about Broyles before the draft.
Broyles joins first rounder OT Riley Reiff on the Lions.
Read Article >2012 NFL Draft Results: UNC LB Zach Brown Selected By Tennessee Titans With 52nd Pick
With the 52nd pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans selected North Carolina Tar Heels outside linebacker Zach Brown. Brown is the 47th rated prospect in the draft and the third-rated outside linebacker, according to Mocking The Draft’s rankings.
In the first round, the Titans picked up Kendall Wright to bolster their receiving corps.
Read Article >2012 NFL Draft Results: MSU DT Jerel Worthy Selected By The Green Bay Packers With The 51st Pick
Here’s what Mocking the Draft had to say about Worthy prior to the draft:
Worthy joins Nick Perry, a pass rusher from USC, who the Packers drafted in the first round. The two combined should improve a defensive front seven that struggled in 2012.
Read Article >Packers-Eagles Trade: Green Bay Moves Up In Round 2
The Eagles also made a trade in the first round, moving up from the 15th to 12th pick in order to secure DT Fletcher Cox with their first round pick.
The target for the Packers is DT Jerel Worthy out of Michigan State, who was considered a first round talent in some mock drafts. Worthy seems like a solid value for the Packers at the 50th pick.
Read Article >2012 NFL Draft Results: Cincinnati RB Isaiah Pead Selected By St. Louis Rams With 50th Pick
With the 50th pick in the 2012 NFL draft, the St. Louis Rams selected Cincinnati running back Isaiah Pead. Pead is the ninth-rated prospect at his position, according to Mocking The Draft’s rankings.
St. Louis used its first-round pick on Michael Brockers and had selected Brian Quick and Janoris Jenkins in the second round. St. Louis then traded down, swapping with the Bears, before taking Pead.
Read Article >2012 NFL Draft Results: UConn DT Kendall Reyes Selected By The San Diego Chargers With The 49th Pick
Reyes was a four-year starter with the Huskies, earning first team All-Big East honors in his junior and senior seasons. He posted career-high marks as a senior with 46 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks.
Here’s what Mocking the Draft had to say about Reyes prior to the draft:

It’s about 8 p.m. on a Friday and the second round of the NFL Draft is in progress. These people could not have been in Radio City Music Hall for that long. Certainly, it would seem, not long enough to get completely hammered.
Notice the fan approaching from behind. He sees his target and ... BAM.
Read Article >2012 NFL Draft Results: Illinois Safety Tavon Wilson Selected By Patriots With 48th Pick
Wilson was an All-Big Ten honorable mention in 2010. His stats from 2011 actually look much better, but he didn’t receive any honors, perhaps because the Illini were so disappointing in the Big Ten. He had 81 tackles, 6.5 tackles for a loss, one interception, one forced fumble, two fumbles recovered and a defensive touchdown for Illinois.
He ran an impressive 4.52 40-yard dash at his pro day and is thought of as a safety-cornerback tweener.

Read Article >2012 NFL Draft Results: Midwestern State G Amini Silatolu Selected By Panthers With 40th Pick
Silatolu earned a grade of 84.7 at the NFL’s annual scouting combine in Indianapolis. The 6-foot-4, 311-pound 23-year-old put up 28 reps on the bench press, ran a 4.87 second 20-yard shuffle and a 5.43 40-yard dash. He has quickness, particularly for an athlete of his size, but has a lack of experience at guard and no notable explosiveness. He is expected to require a bit of work before he is ready to become an NFL starter.
