2012 NFL Mock Draft Tracker

Apr 26, 2012, 6:33 PM | Updated: 7:36 pm

The most talked-about, pored-over and analyzed sporting
event on the calendar is right around the corner.

Of course, it’s the NFL Draft.

Think about it. Once the final snap is taken in the Super
Bowl, football’s focus shifts completely to the draft.
How else could you explain hours of coverage devoted to
college kids running around in t-shirts and shorts on the
NFL Network?

Here at ArizonaSports.com, we’ll do our best between now
and April 26th to keep you up to date with all the latest
draft-related rumblings, including this year’s version of
our Mock Tracker. We’ll compile the mock drafts from the
nation’s leading authorities on the NFL Draft and put them
all in one place, because we’re nice like that.

And, at no extra charge, we’ll include who each expert has
the Cardinals taking with the 13th overall pick.
