1. Andrew Luck QB (Colts)

With the 1st pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, it should be no surprise that the Indianapolis Colts select Andrew Luck, the Quarterback out of Stanford.

Luck is debatably the most highly tauted college prospect since Peyton Manning in 1998.  Ironically, he will be Manning's replacement in Indy. He has very similar characteristics to Manning, having the smarts to call and change his own plays at the line.  In 2011 alone, he was runner up to the Heisman trophy, and broke the record in the PAC-10 for highest completion percentage in a season at 71%.
