2012 Post Combine Mock Draft

1. Luke Kuechly, ILB; Boston College: 6’3”, 242 lbs.
- I’ve had Kuechly mocked here before because it represents the best player available situation for the Chiefs. Kuechly is one of, if not the, most instinctive linebacker in recent memory and averaged nearly 16 tackles a game (15.9) for Boston College this past season. During the Combine, he showed top flight athleticism and speed and was a top performer in nearly every single drill. His combine numbers were better than Pat Willis. He’s an elite level guy for the MLB position.



2. Kelechi Osemele, OT; Iowa State: 6’6”, 333 lbs.
- Osemele measured in at the Combine at a hair under 6’6”, tipped the scales at 333 lbs. and had the longest arms of any offensive tackle in Indianapolis. He ran fluidly in the drills for a guy his size and also showed power in benching 32 reps. There is power in both the top and bottom halves of his body and really enjoys drive blocking opponents into the ground. He’s also a three time academic Honor Roll student as well as a 2011 First Team All-Big 12 player.



3. Robert Turbin, RB; Utah State: 5'10", 222 lbs.
- Turbin showed up at the Combine looking like a Thomas Jones clone (maybe more buff) with huge arms, a thick neck and a barrel of a chest. He also showed exceptional speed for a 5’ 10”, 222 lbs., running a 4.44 in one of his 40’s. He was also a top performer in the majority of the drills. To back that up, he also averaged 6.1 ypc, 126 ypg, with 19 touchdowns on the ground. He’s shown himself to be a very good receiver as well, averaging 10.1 ypc and four TD's in 2011. They guy is a top flight all-purpose back.



4. Ryan Lindley, QB; San Diego State: 6’4”, 229 lbs.
- Lindley has two things that the NFL loves: prototype size and an absolute cannon for an arm. He’s also undervalued in terms of athleticism. He put up decent combine numbers, but it’s the arm which is going to get him drafted around the late third/early fourth. He struggled with inconsistency in his passing in college due to his reliance on his arm, but if Zorn is as good as he’s reputed to be with QB’s, Lindley could turn into something special.



5. David Molk, C; Michigan: 6’1”, 298 lbs.
- The reigning Rimington Award winner (top college center) and First Team All-Big 10 (beating out Wisconsin’s Pete Konz) possesses excellent strength and leverage and put up an incredible 41 reps on the bench at the Combine.



6. Drake Dunsmore, TE; Northwestern: 6’2”, 241 lbs.
- Dunsmore had a terrific combine, being a top performer in all the agility and speed drills. He averaged 11.6 ypc for the Wildcats and had six TD’s in 2011. A versatile end with good hands and an underrated blocker. First team All-Big 10.



7. Jeron McMillian, S; Maine: 5’11”, 203 lbs.
- Think of Jovan Belcher as a safety, regardless of the fact that both went to Maine. McMillan is a hard-nosed, instinctive football player that is fundamentally sound. Is very good blitzing the quarterback and is a fierce run stuffer. Ran a solid 4.56 40 at the combine along with a very good 36.5” vertical.
