2012 NFL Mock Draft: 3 Players Guaranteed To Dominate in the Pros

Every NFL draft class has its fair share of playmakers, but the 2012 class is loaded with elite prospects—a ton of immensely gifted athletes that should make an instant impact at the pro ranks next season.

Which guys will dominate in the NFL for years to come? 

Andrew Luck 

Although he may not see the field for a few years if he's drafted by the Colts because of Peyton Manning, Luck will be a premier NFL quarterback. 

Many believe he could step in, start and produce from day one, but imagine him learning from one of the best ever, if not the best, for a few years. 

Aaron Rodgers-type potential there. 

Luck already has a firm grasp on which decisions to make, where to throw the football and when to scramble. 

He is big, accurate and possesses a quick release.

It's likely he'll wind up in Indianapolis.

What tells you he won't be special in a Colts uniform?

Robert Griffin III 

We've seen how Cam Newton has statistically flourished this season, despite his team's 3-8 record. Griffin III is smaller than the 6'5'', 250-pound Newton, but he's just as agile and fast outside the pocket, has a rocket arm and is far more polished as a passer. 

Scary stuff for opposing defenses.

He's completing more than 72 percent of his passes (not in a dink-and-dunk system) and has accounted for 41 touchdowns with only five interceptions.

A quarterback with transcendent potential.

Alshon Jeffery

Justin Blackmon has probably moved ahead of Jeffery as the top-rated receiver in the 2012 class, but Jeffery could be the much better professional.

Some are worried about his lack of speed or the fact that his numbers in 2011 are way down from a year ago.

Jeffery has been timed just as well as Blackmon and he's a much bigger target at 6'4'', 235. He was hampered by poor quarterback play this season in South Carolina.

He isn't exactly an A.J. Green-type prospect, but he's got everything you'd ever want in a possession receiver that can also stretch the field and catch the jump balls.

Jeffery will instantly make his quarterback better.

(If the Panthers land him, watch out.)
