Now that the 2012 NFL Draft is over, here are our projections for which rookies will be the best at each position next year, as well as our picks for offensive and defensive rookie of the year awards, and the best picks for each round. The All-Rookie teams were determined using a rotating draft system, with no players allowed to be chosen twice. (Jared had the first pick for quarterbacks, J.B. had first for running backs, Mike had the third pick for wide receivers, and so on and so forth).
