2012 NFL Mock Draft: Who Will Trade Up for Andrew Luck?

The NFL draft is one of the great unknowns in the sporting world, which is why so many people love it.

Predicting what will happen in the draft is always a challenge, as you have no idea to know what the 32 general managers see in a player that you may or may not see too.

That's why writing about what decisions teams will make is a total crapshoot, but we still like to do it.

With an entire season to go the early front runner for the No. 1 overall pick is Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck—a player most believe would have gone No. 1 overall in 2011.

It is Luck's spot to lose, the biggest question is who will trade up to get him if a team with an established quarterback ends up with the first pick?
