2012 NFL Mock Draft: Round 5

Last update: Thursday, April 26, 2012, 3:30 p.m. Changes in all 7 rounds.
Next updates: Final (barring major trade in next couple of hours).
Follow me @walterfootball for updates.

The order of this 2012 NFL Mock Draft is based on the real 2012 NFL Draft Order.

Indianapolis Colts: T.Y. Hilton, WR/KR, Florida International

Andrew Luck needs a receiver to throw to besides an aging Reggie Wayne and an injury-prone Austin Collie.

Denver Broncos: DeQuan Menzie, CB, Alabama

The Broncos signed Tracy Porter this offseason, but they still need help at corner.

Minnesota Vikings: Kyle Wilber, ILB, Wake Forest

The Vikings have a huge hole at inside linebacker with E.J. Henderson moving on.

Cleveland Browns: Keshawn Martin, WR, Michigan State

The Browns may spend two selections on receivers. They've shown interest in Keshawn Martin.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Demario Davis, OLB, Arkansas State

The Buccaneers desperately need linebacker help. Here's another player at the position.

Pick change; previously Nigel Bradham, LB

Washington Redskins: Philip Thomas, S, Syracuse

The Redskins aren't actually planning to go into the 2012 season with Brandon Meriweather and Reed Doughty at safety, are they?

Jacksonville Jaguars: Jayron Hosley, CB, Virginia Tech

I'm not saying it won't happen, but I'm getting the indication that the Jaguars won't be spending the No. 7 pick on Stephon Gilmore. They will, however, use a Round 2-4 selection on a cornerback because they have four expiring contracts at the position next spring. Derek Cox, Rashean Mathis, William Middleton and Ashton Youboty are ALL set to hit free agency in March 2013.

Pick change; previously Marvin McNutt, WR

Carolina Panthers: Bryan Anger, P, California

The Panthers don't have a punter on the roster. Round 5 is a good time to add one.

Buffalo Bills: Tank Carder, LB, TCU

The Bills need one more linebacker to join Nick Barnett and Kelvin Sheppard in their 4-3 scheme.

Tank Carder is running a Draft Diary for us. Click the link to check it out.

Pick change; previously Michael Egnew, TE

Miami Dolphins: Trevor Guyton, DE/DT, California

The Dolphins could use some depth up front by adding a player who can be utilized in both the 4-3 and 3-4.

Kansas City Chiefs: Dan Herron, RB, Ohio State

The Chiefs could use some running depth despite signing Peyton Hillis.

Pick change; previously Bruce Irvin, DE/OLB

Buffalo Bills: Russell Wilson, QB, Wisconsin

The Bills will probably be looking for a developmental quarterback in the middle rounds of the 2012 NFL Draft. Russell Wilson fits the system.

Oakland Raiders: Jack Crawford, DE, Penn State

The Raiders lost two pass-rushers this offseason in Kamerion Wimbley and Trevor Scott. They'll need replacements.

San Diego Chargers: T.J. Graham, WR, N.C. State

The wide receiver position can be considered a need. Malcom Floyd is entering his contract year, while Robert Meachem is far from a proven commodity.

Pick change; previously Asa Jackson, CB

Chicago Bears: Tim Fugger, DE, Vanderbilt

The Bears need some pass-rushing help across from Julius Peppers.

Pick change; previously T.J. Graham, WR

Arizona Cardinals: Malik Jackson, DE/DT, Tennessee

The Cardinals don't really have any depth behind Calais Campbell and Darnell Dockett.

Dallas Cowboys: Kheeston Randall, DE/DT, Texas

The Cowboys had the option of picking J.J. Watt at No. 9 overall in the 2011 NFL Draft. They went with Tyron Smith, who has been great thus far, but they're hurting at the defensive end position as a consequence. Kenyon Coleman should not be starting anymore.

Philadelphia Eagles: Evan Rodriguez, TE, Temple

The Eagles have a ton of picks. One might be used on a tight end to give the quarterback a bigger target in the red zone.

New York Jets: Coty Sensabaugh, CB, Clemson

The Jets need to counter the Patriots and all of their new receivers by bringing in some cornerback help. The corner position is really thin for New York; the team has nothing behind Darrelle Revis, Antonio Cromartie and Kyle Wilson because Donald Strickland is gone.

Tennessee Titans: Joe Adams, WR/KR, Arkansas

This isn't really a pressing need or anything, but the Titans could stand to bring in another weapon for Jake Locker.

Pick change; previously Tim Fugger, DE

Cincinnati Bengals: Janzen Jackson, S, McNeese State

No one should be surprised if the Bengals pick Janzen Jackson in the middle rounds. He'd fill a huge need.

Atlanta Falcons: Ben Jones, C, Georgia

More offensive line help for the Falcons. They need a successor for Todd McClure, and they've shown a lot of interest in local product Ben Jones.

Detroit Lions: Travis Lewis, OLB, Oklahoma

The Lions can stick with their "best player available" strategy with Travis Lewis.

Pick change; previously Alfonzo Dennard, CB

Pittsburgh Steelers: Greg Childs, WR, Arkansas

The Steelers could lose Mike Wallace after this season, so here's some insurance.

Cleveland Browns: Armond Armstead, DT, USC

It wouldn't hurt to add some depth behind Ahtyba Rubin and Phil Taylor.

Pick change; previously Jack Crawford, DE

Houston Texans: Akiem Hicks, NT, Canada

The Texans could use some depth on their defensive line. Wade Phillips likes smaller nose tackles.

New Orleans Saints: Jarius Wright, WR, Arkansas

The Saints lost Robert Meachem to the Chargers, so they may look at a receiver with one of their mid-round picks.

Green Bay Packers: Ronnie Hillman, RB, San Diego State

Assuming Ryan Grant doesn't return next year, the Packers will need help behind James Starks at running back.

Baltimore Ravens: Vick Ballard, RB, Mississippi State

Ricky Williams has retired, so he can now do everything he wasn't able to do during his playing career, like smoke weed and go on tours with crappy musicians. Oh wait...

San Francisco 49ers: Michael Brewster, C/G, Ohio State

Jonathan Goodwin was just a short-term solution at center. The 49ers should bring in some competition. Brewster can also play guard, so he could start in Adam Snyder's vacated spot until Goodwin is done in San Francisco.

Cincinnati Bengals: Dwight Jones, WR, North Carolina

Considering their depth issues, the Bengals could easily draft two receivers this April. Dwight Jones has character concerns, but Cincinnati won't mind that.

Cincinnati Bengals: Alfonzo Dennard, CB, Nebraska

The Bengals could draft multiple cornerbacks this April. Do I need to tell you why they'd be interested in Alfonzo Dennard?

Pick change; previously Cliff Harris, CB

Oakland Raiders: Nicolas Jean-Baptiste, NT, Baylor

The Raiders really need help at defensive tackle. Nicolas Jean-Baptiste, coincidentally, is one of the top players available.

Baltimore Ravens: Brandon Mosley, OT, Auburn

Bryant McKinnie did a decent job at left tackle this year, but he'll be 33 in September, and with his skills eroding, he can't be counted on much longer.

Indianapolis Colts: Jonathan Massaquoi, DE/OLB, Troy

The Colts need some linebacker depth for their new 3-4 defense, both on the interior and exterior.

Steelers better be looking at CB Josh Robinson--thats all I'm saying

Green Bay got themselves a player in Perry who can come and and take the pressure off from Matthews. I believe the pick of Perry was great value as well. Now we will see what happens in round 2. I believe Thompson will make every attempt to match value and need together and draft DE or S. I would not be surprised to see Thompson trade up here and get both in round 2.

I think its time for all of these football journalists to get real jobs. They are apparently getting paid to be failures at their profession.

Seriously, they are incapable of A. Mocking up a legitimate reality based draft B. Having any clue to the performance of any team prior to the regular season and C. Ability to evaluate the playoff potential for any football team within the season.

If these jokers are unpaid then great. I am happy to read what they have to say. But if they are being paid for this rubbish that is ALWAYS wrong then I say its disgusting.

Every picks description that you came up with is complete crap!!!! I don't think you watch football let alone know anything about football. Next year just do the first round with out your STUPID reason for each pick PLEASE!!! it seems you can only get 3 to 4 right on the first round cant wait to see how many you get right on the 2nd NONE!!!!!

In my closing thoughts WALT is a Dumbass when it comes to football. His mock is a joke clearly he does not know anything about football. And did i say he does not know anything about football???

Well so often you get what you wish for and Cleveland got their 28 year old guy now good luck. Weeden is a good older man but he throws interceptions allot so what will the Browns next move be ask Brian Sipe to come out of retirement. Please trade Colt to a team that wants to win.

i would much rather the jets go with ronnell lewis in round 3 even though sanu is a solid player. coples, wilkerson, lewis and maybin could be a great pass rush for the future

tell me if you think the chicago bears pick in the first round was good

T-BONE 04-27-2012 11:34 am xxx.xxx.xxx9.15 (total posts: 1)

THE MANAGEMENT IN CLEVELAND JUST GOT
A GOOD CASE OF STUPID, WHY GIVE UP THE
118 ,139,211 PICKS TO MOVE UP FROM 4TH
TO 3RD,TO TAKE T RICHARDSON, WITH THE
BEST O-LINEMAN AND CORNERBACK STILL ON
THE BOARD. THEN AT PICK 22, THEY TAKE A
28 YEAR OLD QUARTERBACK, WITH A LEAST
28 PLAYERS BETTER THAN BRANDON WEEDEN
STILL ON THE BOARD.I THINK THEY WILL
SCREW UP ON EVERY PICK THEY MAKE THIS
YEAR,THEN PASS ON A GOOD QUARTERBACK
NEXT YEAR.CLEVELAND HAD 13 HOLES TO
FILL WITH THIS DRAFT AND 13 PICKS
BEFORE GIVING UP 3 PICKS, SO 3 POSITIONS DIDN`T GET ANY HELP THIS DRAFT.

Why am i even looking at this?? How many picks did WalterFootball get right in the first round?? Maybe the top 4.... maybe...

BroncoRoss 04-27-2012 11:00 am xxx.xxx.xxx.173 (total posts: 1)

Broncos should trade a 4th for Colt McCoy to back up Manning. Up (yes) or Down (no).

Steve 04-27-2012 10:21 am xxx.xxx.xxx.151 (total posts: 1)

No way would Pittsburgh not go for a NT or an ILB in rounds 2 and 3. They don't have a glaring need at RB right now. That can wait until next year.

Kilroy 04-27-2012 08:59 am xxx.xxx.xxx6.77 (total posts: 1)

No way the Steelers go RB here. No way the Steelers pick an offensive player in the first three rounds of the draft. Get your act together Walter.

Jeremiah 04-27-2012 07:40 am xxx.xxx.xxx2.65 (total posts: 1)

You seem stuck on Brandon Boykin for the Niners.
They have a lot of good return guys for kick-offs and punts. They have the same CBs back this year and added Cox. They don't need Boykin. They need the best OG available.

Vaughan Moore 04-27-2012 07:26 am xxx.xxx.xxx.227 (total posts: 3)

If Lavonte David is available in the 3rd round for the Bills, he will definitely be the pick. Jonathan Martin will definitely be the pick if he slides to Buffalo. Coby Fleener is also an option, while Stephen Hill or Alshon Jeffery would be great picks.

Will (Bucs!) 04-27-2012 05:06 am xxx.xxx.xxx5.43 (total posts: 4)

I think if Lavonte were to fall which he probably will with how many DTs, Oline, and CBs left then Tampa will probably move up a couple places like they did at the end of round 1 to secure their guy. No Will linebacker there in place and David is the best Will linebacker.
