2012 NFL Mock Draft Big Board: Where Does Each Quarterback Stand?

As draft day nears, my anxiety level increases. In the next two weeks I will be publishing my big board by position—starting with quarterbacks—and ranking each player by how I feel he will perform at the next level.

Quarterbacks are the hot topic but are also the easiest to depict. This year's draft is obviously front-loaded in terms of talent, with Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III being the consensus first two picks.

However, after that is up in the air. While Ryan Tannehill (and maybe even Brandon Weeden) will likely be taken in the first round, neither are worthy of a first-round grade.

1. Andrew Luck, Stanford (No. 1 overall)

2. Robert Griffin III, Baylor (No. 2 overall)

3. Ryan Tannehill, Texas A&M (Second Round)

4. Brandon Weeden, Oklahoma State (Second Round)

5. Kirk Cousins, Michigan State (Third Round)

6. Brock Osweiler, Arizona State (Fourth Round)

7. Nick Foles, Arizona (Fourth Round)

8. B.J. Coleman, Chattanooga (Fifth Round)

9. Russell Wilson, Wisconsin (Fifth Round)

10. Austin Davis, Southern Miss (Sixth Round)

11. Ryan Lindley, San Diego State (Sixth Round)

12. Case Keenum, Houston (Seventh Round)

13. Chandler Harnish, Northern Illinois (Seventh Round)

14. G.J. Kinne, Tulsa (Undrafted)

15. Dominique Davis, East Carolina (Undrafted)

16. Dan Persa, Northwestern (Undrafted)

17. Aaron Corp, Richmond (Undrafted)

18. Kellen Moore, Boise State (Undrafted)

19. Darron Thomas, Oregon (Undrafted)
