2012 NFL DRAFT EARLY TOP 50

Declaration day is done. We now who's in and who's out so it's time for the speculation to begin. Thanks to a lot of possible top 10 picks surprisingly staying in school this draft is not as good as the last 2 at the top but there is some strong depth throughout. With the new CBA in place expect to see draft picks being more valuable and teams wiling to take more risk high up considering the financial risk isn't anywhere near as big as it used to be. Next to each player is the NFL player we feel they will most resemble if they are a hit. The comp is for on the field play only and the higher they are ranked the more likely we think they will reach that comparison. There is also a clear cut #1 in Andrew Luck. THIS ISN'T A MOCK DRAFT. It is how we have the players ranked right now.

* Is for a player with possible injury issues.
#Is for a player with possible character issues
