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.

Classic Steelers pick. DeCastro will be a mainstay on the O-line for the next 10 years and give them a solid young base to build on.

Wow so many good players still out there for the Colts to build around Luck (Hill Sanu Handle Jeffrey Miller Fleener) or Pagano can start to work on his Defense with (Upshaw Jenkins Still) my gut feeling is that the Colts are going to get him a receiving weapon (Fleener Handle or Hill) and then the tough decision will be whether they trade up for Miller or Polk oooooorrrrr work on the Defense

ehhhhh 04-27-2012 02:09 am xxx.xxx.xxx.210 (total posts: 1)

Interesting that you have the Cowboys still acquiring Ronnell Lewis in the 3rd instead of the 2nd. I guess you feel like Dallas is the only team interested in him.

I've also heard potential interest in T.Y. Hilton as well as Ryan Broyles.

@ConnorP Marvin n Mike are the biggest idiots as far as not being able to handle situations with their players especially their top tier players on the roster and then signing problematic players to their roster , but as far as drafting goes they've been pretty solid the since drafting CarsonPalmer they got 85 and TJ at the WR position to help him succeed they've drafted JonathanJoseph LeonHall AJGreen traded ahead of SF last year to take AndyDalton, (only exception AndreSmith who at #10 is a bust is bearly beginning to show he can play but he's decent) but this year yes its a total bust, not to worry with the Browns basically giving up already(Weeden won't help could have got him in the 2nd) the Bengals have a shot at making the playoffs again

Hate the pick, but 04-26-2012 11:52 pm xxx.xxx.xxx98.9 (total posts: 1)

It's only 8 spots ahead of where you mocked him to go. Would still rather have Hill, Fleener, David Wilson, Randle, etc. etc. we'll see.

@ Connor P, are the Bengals really this stuid? Decastro is the best guard since Gene Upshaw, I really don't gt it? Is Mike Brown really that stupid?

Heckert and Holmgren should be fired for taking Weeden at #22!

Connor P 04-26-2012 11:15 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.185 (total posts: 68)

@Al, I know, we should've grabbed DeCastro when we had the chance at 21, but Marvin Lewis and Mike Browns are the biggest dumb@sses in the business.
