2012 NFL Mock Draft: Stock Watch for Top Offensive Playmakers

Time to examine the top offensive prospects in the 2012 NFL draft class.

Can you think of anything more fun?

I'm very nerdy with sports, so for me, no.

Are stocks up or down after their games last week?

Andrew Luck

What's with all this negative talk surrounding Andrew Luck after he led his team to a road win against USC in triple-overtime?

Sure, the pick-six wasn't pretty, but I was more impressed with the way in which he led his team down to tie the game after that interception.

He showed his resiliency and leadership skills in that fourth quarter and in overtime.

Nothing against Phil Simms, but I'm wholeheartedly disagreeing with his semi-bashing of Luck this week.

After a 29-for-40, 330-yard, three-touchdown, one-interception performance this past week, Luck's stock is rising.

Can it get any higher?

Games against Oregon and Notre Dame are his next big tests.

Robert Griffin III

I'm well aware of the fact that no one likes to play defense in the Big 12, but come on Baylor, the beat down Oklahoma State put on them was just humiliating.

Okay, I'll admit it, neither team played great defensively and it was Griffin's inability to score in the red zone that doomed the Bears from the start.

However, after his two early turnovers, Griffin rebounded nicely and ended the day with 425 yards passing.

No big deal.

In the end, some of the defeat was on him for those turnovers, but I'll be generous and say his stock stayed the same last week.

Justin Blackmon

Blackmon didn't seem to be phased by the concussion he suffered against Missouri two weeks ago when his Cowboys massacred the Bears on Saturday.

Another walk in the park for Blackmon.

He finished the game with 13 catches, 172 yards and two touchdowns.

My favorite wideout in this year's class. I'm talking him over Alshon Jeffery. His production is too outrageous and he's extremely physical.

Jeffery faces better defenses each week and Blackmon has had more stability at quarterback, but the Oklahoma State star fits into that Greg Jennings mold to me, and he's probably even stronger than Aaron Rodgers' favorite target.

Beastly.

His stock is most certainly up.
