The 1st round of the 2012 NFL Draft has been completed.  There were not many surprises at the top of the first round this year.    Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III were drafted 1 and 2 as predicted, with Richardson and Kahlil close behind.  Justin Blackmon escaped not running the 40 yard dash at the combine due to injury and was drafted 5th by the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Morris Claiborne did not fall far due to his leaked combine score.  Tampa Bay drafted elite talent Mark Barron, who also could not perform at the combine due to injury.
