    I'll copy and paste is here since it's behind a paywall (stupid Dallas Morning News).

    1. Carolina - Cam Newton
    2. Denver - Von Miller
    3. Buffalo - Marcell Dareus
    4. Cincy - A.J. Green
    5. Arizona - Patrick Peterson
    6. Cleveland - Julio Jones
    7. San Fran - Blaine Gabbert
    8. Tennessee - Jake Locker
    9. Dallas - Tyron Smith
    10. Washington - Christian Ponder
    11. Houston - Aldon Smith
    12. Minnesota - Andy Dalton
    13. Detroit - Nick Fairley
    14. St. Louis - Mark Ingram
    15. Miami - Mike Pouncey
    16. Jacksonville - Ryan Kerrigan
    17. New England - Cam Jordan
    18. San Diego - Corey Liuget
    19. New York Giants - Nate Solder
    20. Tampa Bay - Robert Quinn
    21. KC - Gabe Carimi
    22. Indy - Anthony Castonzo
    23. Philly - Jimmy Smith
    24. New Orleans - Adrian Clayborn
    25. Seattle - Prince Amukamara
    26. Baltimore - JJ Watt
    27. Atlanta - Phil Taylor
    28. New England - Danny Watkins
    29. Chicago - Marvin Austin
    30. New York Jets - Derrick Sherrod
    31. Pittsburgh - Cameron Heyward
    32. Green Bay - Aaron Williams

    Some big surprises in there, but that's par for the course for Gosselin. Before you rip him to shreds, you should know that he has been proven to be the most accurate mock drafter there is over the past five years (see the numbers for yourself). Every year, a few of his "crazy" predictions come true.

    The craziest thing to me is how far he has Amukamara slipping.

    I don't see Amukamara getting past the Lions.

    That good of that is defensive players will slide a little... hopefully we could pickup a decent DL/LB player in the 2nd.

    I like this mock maybe more than any out there. If this draft goes the way Gosselin is predicting, that could be a good thing for Mike Reinfeldt's drafting strategy. Since Reinfeldt came in in 2007, we've drafted great players with our first picks. Last year New York took a DE one pick before we took Derrick Morgan. In 2009 New York took a WR one pick before we took Kenny Britt. 2008 Pittsburgh took a RB one pick before we took Chris Johnson. 2007 Cincinnati took a CB one pick before we took then CB Michael Griffin. Any time the team picking before us picks the same position we'll pick after, we hit home runs on ours. Peep 2003-2006 where we didn't take what the team before us took.

    If the draft is going to fall like this... Locker is a MUST at #8.

    I hope so. I'm mainly all for Locker because I feel like if I played QB, he's almost exactly the player I'd be. And since I feel like I could win a Super Bowl with this Titans team, Locker would fit perfectly.

    I thought this was suppose to be one of the worst QB classes... Yet he has 5 going in the top 12? I'm sorry I just don't see it happening.

    I seriously don't think this is a bad QB class, it's actually pretty decent compared to the past few years. It's just very deep and with no free agency to dwell on, all the "experts" are picking pepper out of the fly s**t on potential draftees.

    In 2012, beyond Luck.................. Barkley and Moore are no better than the 2011 picks.....And I'm a USC guy who likes Barkley.
