Oh, look, it's already 2012 NFL Mock Draft time. It took about a quarter of the season, but fans of some teams are already looking ahead to next season.

That starts with the NFL Draft in April, the beacon of hope that serves as a chance to bring youth that could turn a bungling franchise into a blooming one. And it makes fans of once-proud franchises root for putridity and wonder why, oh why, couldn't their team have just finished 3-13 instead of winning that last game to go to 4-12 and now they're outside of the freaking Top 5!

So without further ado, here's your first edition of the 2012 NFL Mock Draft. Included are the Top 6 picks based on current record -- a shorter mock draft in what will undoubtedly be one of many until April. Why the Top 6? Because the sixth team is funny.
