Updated 4/8/2012

Okay, major overhaul. Here's what I did:

Thanks to the Google and a link from OBUDan, I compiled 11 separate mock drafts into the “Official/Unofficial TigerDroppings 2012 Mock Draft”. It was pretty simple until about 13 or so, then I had to look at “tiebreakers”. Things I looked at were mean, median, and mode, of course (mainly mode, which I felt may indicate consensus on need or likelihood, who the hell knows?). I also tried to take into account the spread between highest and lowest pick, and the “value” of a pick as defined by the difference between the eventual selection and the median selection point of the 11 mock drafts.

Here were the sources:
1.) WalterFootball
2.) Football's Future
3.) DraftSite
4.) DraftTek
5.) Draft Countdown
6.) Ourlads
7.) My NFL Draft
8.) SB Nation
9.) New NFL Draft
10.) Football Fan Spot
11.) New Sports Draft

Like before, if I feel there is a general consensus, I will put the pick in BOLD. I will also list the highest and lowest prediction for a pick in this format: (high, low). Finally, I will list some other options mentioned when it was close in brackets. Here we go:
---------------------------------------------------------

Understood. This mock was posted before he announced, I guess.

I plan on updating the OP with the TD consensus. So who do I put in Trent's place for the Bucs? Can we agree that Luck goes to the Colts at #1?

That would be hilarious. No RB is worth a high 1st unless you are talking an absolute lock like AP.

I agree. I've seen a lot of mocks with Claiborne going there, but with him gone here, do they maybe go Kirkpatrick then?

They absolutely need to trade out of this pick for more picks. I think they drop down a few spots and take Blackmon.

Trent Richardson to the Bucs would be stupid as shite. Why are they so high on a running back?

Panthers need to luck up and get Claiborne or hope Kirkpatrick falls to them or trade down. I would get Blackmon if he was still on the board too.

I might even take a gamble with Cliff Harris in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Tough to mock trades, though. Would get crazy. Gotta stick with the order given, I think.

Burfict isn't a first(or 2nd or 3rd) round pick.

I think the Steelers go ILB, G, or NT in Round 1 as there aren't really any significant areas of need.

Burfict would be perfect to replace Farrior ILB spot or Dont'a Hightower. Poe would be nice at NT if he fell that far.
