In this multi-scenario 2012 NFL Mock Draft I will make the selection for each team, based on what I think is most likely to happen next Thursday.

Those are some of the questions I’ll be answering in my weekly “Too Long For Twitter” Friday mailbag where I take questions from Twitter that warrant, deserve or need answers longer than 140 characters
If you have a question about anything, tweet it to me @DougKyedNEPD, and I’ll try to include it in the column on Friday. If you aren’t on Twitter, feel free to throw in a question in the comments section.

The Patriots were a few inches from gaining that precious fourth ring. It will take a good crop of youngsters in the 2012 NFL Draft to push them over the top in next year’s Super Bowl.
Here is our third version of what the Patriots might do come late April.

The outcome wasn’t the only thing lopsided about this game. USC has tons of pro potential on their roster while Colorado leaves you thinking, why is this team in the Pac-12?
Freshmen WRs Robert Woods & Marqise Lee had huge days for USC despite a couple drops, as did freshmen LBs Hayes Pullard and Lamar Dawson. As for next year’s NFL Draft prospects, here were my thoughts:
