2012 NFL Mock Draft: The Top 5 Prospects To Watch in Week 3

With the college football season in full swing as we enter the third week of September, there is already talk of what college football playmakers will be selected in the 2012 NFL Draft and taking their talents to an NFL team on Sundays.

With that, where will the likes of Stanford's Andrew Luck, Oklahoma State's Justin Blackmon or Oklahoma's Landry Jones end up playing after the 2012 NFL Draft?

Andrew Luck, Stanford

This Week's Game: at Arizona

2012 Mock Draft: Seattle, 1st Pick

After Matt Hasselbeck moved on to Tennessee this season, the Seahawks will need a solid signal caller to help strengthen the position currently held by Tarvaris Jackson. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll will welcome a quarterback that will allow them to contend in the NFC West.

Matt Kalil, USC

This Week’s Game: vs. Syracuse

2012 Mock Draft: Indianapolis, 2nd Pick

With Peyton Manning being on the sideline in the early part of the 2011 season, Matt Kalil will help the offensive line be a little more physical in future seasons so an injury will not sideline the Colts franchise quarterback again in 2012.

Quinton Coples, North Carolina

This Week's Game: vs. Virginia

2012 Mock Draft: Cleveland, 3rd Pick

The North Carolina senior defensive end will be a great pickup for a Browns team that literally has a nonexistent pass rush so far in 2011. With the addition of Coples, Cleveland can look toward making their second postseason run of the 21st century.

Matt Barkley, USC

This Week's Game: vs. Syracuse

2012 Mock Draft: Kansas City, 4th Pick

While Matt Cassel has been a decent quarterback for the Chiefs in his time since leaving New England, the introduction of a youthful Matt Barkley as future quarterback in KC would be a great pick for those that will pack Arrowhead in seasons to come.

Justin Blackmon, Oklahoma State

This Week's Game: at Tulsa

2012 Mock Draft: Tennessee, 5th Pick

With the Titans selecting former Washington Huskies Jake Locker to be the new Titans quarterback in this year's NFL Draft, the selection of Justin Blackmon will make for a good one-two punch in the tough AFC South with top receivers like Houston's Andre Johnson and Indianapolis' Reggie Wayne.
