To make it easier, here are the top picks for each team:
2012 NFL Draft Picks by Team
Arizona Cardinals
1.13 Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame #11
3.17 Jamell Fleming, CB, Oklahoma #86
Atlanta Falcons
2.23 Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin #38
3.28 Lamar Holmes, OT, Southern Miss
Baltimore Ravens
2.03 Courtney Upshaw, ILB, Alabama #21
2.28 Kelechi Osemele, OG, Iowa St. #48
3.21 Bernard Pierce, RB, Temple #92
Buffalo Bills
1.10 Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina #22
2.09 Cordy Glenn, OG, Georgia #20
3.06 T.J. Graham, WR, North Carolina St
(Was hearing good things about Gilmore but then not much but Glenn has been getting solid reviews)
Carolina Panthers
1.09 Luke Kuechly, LB, Boston College #9
2.08 Amini Silatolu, OG, Midwestern St. #55
(lots of hype with Kuechly but he is starting on the outside and is getting pulled on passing downs)
Chicago Bears
1.19 Shea McClellin, DE, Boise St. #36
2.13 Alshon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina #47
3.16 Brandon Hardin, FS, Oregon St.
(both McClelling and Jeffery have looked pretty good in the few times I've seen them)
Cincinnati Bengals
1.17 Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama #17
1.27 Kevin Zeitler, OG, Wisconsin #42
2.21 Devon Still, DT, Penn St. #25
3.20 Mohamed Sanu, WR, Rutgers #51
(Dre is working to come back from an injury but Seitler is starting)
Cleveland Browns
1.03 Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama #4
1.22 Brandon Weeden, QB, Oklahoma St. #54
2.05 Mitchell Schwartz, OT, California #78
**supplemental 2nd round pick used on WR Josh Gordon, Baylor
(all of the top-three picks had poor first games but all-three had great bounce back games Sunday, Gordon is very slowly being eased into things)
Dallas Cowboys
1.06 Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU #5
3.18 Tyrone Crawford, DE, Boise St.
(thought Mo would blow up out of the gate but injury has sloed him)
Denver Broncos
2.04 Derek Wolfe, DT, Cincinnati #83
2.25 Brock Osweiler, QB, Arizona St. #70
3.04 Ronnie Hillman, RB, San Diego St.
(Wolfe looked suprisingly good in preseason and in the first game but not so much Monday Night. Hillman hasn't seen field even with backing by Lammey)

3.22 Dwight Bentley, CB, Louisiana-Lafayette #97
Green Bay Packers
1.28 Nick Perry, DE, USC #29

2.02 Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford #35
3.01 Dwayne Allen, TE, Clemson #46
3.29 T.Y. Hilton, WR, Florida International

Jacksonville Jaguars
1.05 Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma St. #6

(ugh Blackmon)

Miami Dolphins
1.08 Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M #19
2.10 Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford #18
3.09 Olivier Vernon, DE, Miami
(Haven't seen Tanny but hearing good things)
Minnesota Vikings
1.04 Matt Kalil, OT, USC #3
1.29 Harrison Smith, S, Notre Dame #43
3.03 Josh Robinson, CB, UCF #45
(have no idea about Kalil but assuming he's starting and doing ok)
New England Patriots
1.21 Chandler Jones, DE, Syracuse #37
1.25 Dont'a Hightower, LB, Alabama #27
2.16 Tavon Wilson, FS, Illinois
(hot starts in first game but hadn't gotten updates from Sunday)

4.27 Nick Toon, WR, Wisconsin #90
New York Giants
1.32 David Wilson, RB, Virginia Tech #32
2.31 Rueben Randle, WR, LSU #41
3.31 Jayron Hosley, CB, Virginia Tech #52
(rookie fumble and Coughs not a good match for playing time)
New York Jets
1.16 Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina #15
2.11 Stephen Hill, WR, Georgia Tech #28
(both have flashed)
Oakland Raiders
3.32 Tony Bergstrom, OT, Utah

2.27 Vinny Curry, DE, Marshall #40
3.25 Nick Foles, QB, Arizona
4.28 Brandon Boykin, CB, Georgia #72
(this looks like a really-really good group of rookies)
Pittsburgh Steelers
1.24 David DeCastro, G, Stanford #14
2.24 Mike Adams, OT, Ohio St. #39
3.23 Sean Spence, OLB, Miami #84
(injuries)
San Diego Chargers
1.18 Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina #8
2.17 Kendall Reyes, DT, Connecticut #44
(I thought Mel would be doing much better, any insights?)

Seattle Seahawks
1.15 Bruce Irvin, LB, West Virginia #68

2.01 Brian Quick, WR, Appalachian St. #94
2.07 Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama #24
2.18 Isaiah Pead, RB, Cincinnati #87
(injury to Bockers but Jan-Jenkins looking very good)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
1.07 Mark Barron, SS, Alabama #16
1.31 Doug Martin, RB, Boise St. #50
2.26 Lavonte David, OLB, Nebraska #53
(solid group here)
Tennessee Titans
1.20 Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor #26
2.20 Zach Brown, OLB, North Carolina #31
(haven't seen Wright yet, don't really know how he's doing)
Washington Redskins
1.02 Robert Griffin, QB, Baylor #2
3.08 Josh LeRibeus, OG, Southern Methodist
4.07 Kirk Cousins, QB, Michigan St. #60
(RG III off to hot start, can he maintain?)
Who are the other starting rookies right now that I've missed and how have they been performing?
