For the first time in Dawgs By Nature history, I present to you the staff's 2012 NFL Mock Drafts. After the jump, you will see the final first-round mock drafts from myself, Bernie19Kosar, rufio, and Jon @ DBN. Explanations are not included (to prevent clutter), but if you have any questions, please ask the writer about it in the comments section and they will try to respond. Each of the mock drafts seem to have a very unique spin to them (although most drafters agree that if a team needs a wide receiver, they are getting a wide receiver).

Keeping tabs on just the Cleveland Browns picks, here is what each writer has:
- Chris Pokorny: WR Justin Blackmon, OT Mike Adams
- Bernie19Kosar: CB Morris Claiborne, DE Quinton Coples
- rufio: WR Justin Blackmon, RB Lamar Miller
- Jon @ DBN: WR Justin Blackmon, OG Cordy Glenn
I can bet you that one of the first questions will be pointed toward Bernie19Kosar for taking two defenders in the first round. Thanks to the writers for getting back to me quickly with their mock drafts; late tonight or Thursday morning, we will have a post up that details each writer's big board for the Browns, compared to the DBN Community Big Board.
