2013 NFL Draft Prospects

Why Barkley so low, did he forget how to QB in a year?Even last year I never had Barkley as an elite talent. So for me nothing has changed. Limited arm strength, limited mobility, little playmaking ability, surrounded by top level playmakers.

EJ is a first rounder? I remember him coming outta high school, expected a better career outta him. FSU...smhYeah, I know its unpopular. But when I close my ears to the rhetoric and rely on the tape he's the QB I would choose for my team. I try to separate the QB from their situation and focus on their play and their skillset. EJ to my eye might have the biggest arm of this draft class and imo is clearly the best playmaker. He reminds me of Ben Rothlisberger/slimmer Daunte Culpeper.
You plug him into the right situation like some of the QBs from this season he has success right away.

2nd: David Amerson CB
3rd: TJ McDonald FS
4th: John Bostic ILB/Zaviar Gooden
5th: Duke Williams FS
5th: Josh Boyce WR
6th: Cierre Wood RB
7th: Colby Cameron QB

UDFA: Vinton Painter OT

Replace Cierre Wood with his buddy at ND, Theo Riddick, and I love that draft!


Also I thought you all should know, Josh Boyce is not only a beast WR who reminds me of a healthier Hakeem Nicks, but he could be here based on RG3 telling Shanahan to get this guy, because he and RG3 played together in high school.

1) EJ Manuel
2) Geno Smith
3) Tyler Wilson
4) Landry Jones
5) Barkley/Nassib

1) Barkley
2) Wilson
2) Glennon
2) Geno
5) Landry
5) Bray

but in all honestly I could care less because we don't need a QB, thats the other 25+ teams problems to figure it out

2nd: David Amerson CB
3rd: TJ McDonald FS
4th: John Bostic ILB/Zaviar Gooden
5th: Duke Williams FS
5th: Josh Boyce WR
6th: Cierre Wood RB
7th: Colby Cameron QB

UDFA: Vinton Painter OT

I have

2nd: Phillip Thomas FS
3rd: Tyrann Mathieu CB,SS
4th: Ryan Swoope WR
5th: Xavier Nixon OT
5th: Travis Kelce TE
6th: Ray Ray Armstrong SS
7th: BPA

2nd Round Matt Elam S or Bacarri Rambo S or Kenny Vaccaro S whoever is on the board
3rd Round Jamar Taylor CB
4th Round Jordan Reed TE
5th Round Omoregie Uzzi OG
6th Round DJ Swearinger S

2nd Round Matt Elam S or Bacarri Rambo S or Kenny Vaccaro S whoever is on the board
3rd Round Jamar Taylor CB
4th Round Jordan Reed TE
5th Round Omoregie Uzzi OG
6th Round DJ Swearinger S

Rambo is more likely of the 3.
Swearinger ins't going in the 6th.
We do have a 7th rounder, or did you just cut it short on purpose?

I went out the other day and bought the NFL Draft Magazines that come out at this time of year. I got the Lindys, ProFootballWeekly, and ProFootball Draft Guide.

- They all suck this year
- ProFootball Draft Guide was the most expensive with the least info
- I'm not happy with ProFootball Weekly this year leaving out recommended prospects that the redskins should target for offense and defense.
- I feel like they really rushed ProFootball Weekly (PFW) this year just to get it on stands faster, leaving out a lot of info they would normally include (such as recommended prospects)

Aside from me practically wasting my money, I learned (or cemented an opinion):

-That 2 outlets have now confirmed Robert Alford CB Southeastern Lousiana has Crohns disease
- Ryan Swope has suffered a reported 3 concussions already.
- PFW brought up a great point about Barrett Jones of Alabama "If he were on Auburn, do you think we'd be talking about him as much, or is just because he's on Alabama, playing with other great prospects, that we like him?"
- They all say Escobar is the real deal (TE San Diego St)
- They all agree the QB class sucks this year (no surprise)
- Jordan Mills T LaTech is a guy we should be keeping our eyes on; all the books say he would be a great addition to a ZBS
- Margus Hunt is 26...
- PFDG said we should look at "Jordan Poyer, Jamar Taylor, Robert Alford, Darius Slay." "They could go safety with JJ Wilcox, Tony Jefferson, Duke Williams, or Phillip Thomas."
- Nickell Robey CB USC, is basically the Russell Wilson of CBs according to most of the magazines. If he were 2 inches taller and 30-40lbs heavier he'd be a first rounder challenging Milliner for top pick. Instead he's 5'8 168lb and a 5th rounder.
- PFW does a "What the scouts say about 3-6 prospects per position (already mentioned their Barrett Jones comment above) they bashed the LBs with Khaseem Greene saying "All the plays he makes are schemed". They also had lots of questions on Dion Jordan and said that Arthur Brown "gets a body on him and he's done".
- Kevin Riddick, who has been a named linked to us in mocks, is "instense, He's everything you want in a leader. He's smart and instinctive. He just can't run. His speed is average."
- "LSU gives their #18 Jersey to their hardest worker each year. This year it went to Bennie Logan DT. He is a very strong plugger with a thick, athletic build. He looks every bit the part." Logan is viewed as a 3rd to 4th rounder.
- "Bjoern Werner is Ryan Kerrigan" apparently
- William Gholston will go higher than he should. He is also related to Vernon Gholston...( I don't want him)
- "DJ Swearinger will drop down in the box and hit you. He looks to take your head off. I love his intensity and approach. Every secondary needs a lightning rod like him. When you think of a lot of the great ones--the Ed Reeds and Brian Dawkins-- they had that spark...He'll miss some tackles that he should make, but he's a big-time hitter."

-TJ McDonald is a better athlete than football player (see Taylor Mays)

- Tony Jefferson "can't run. He took a bunch of bad angles."

- Bacarri Rambo "not a hitter. He's never been the same since he got put on a backboard early in his career. He's not a true free or an ideal strong. Factor in the background issues and you're talking about a backup." Never knew he was injured seriously early on.

- Matt Elam "He would start looking attractive to me in the 4th round. Thats where I think he belongs. He plays the ball well, but he's more of a box guy to me."

- Menelik Watson (RT FSU) "Is not a US Citizen, is overaged, and is probably going to be a combine phenom that will wow many people, the question is if you can get it out of him on the field" Don't want him

- Justin Pugh OT/OG Syracuse supposedly isn't a LT for the pros but should be tried there anyway with his quick feet and his tyranasorus rex arms, before you waste him at guard. I say why don't they try him at RT?

- Oday Aboushi is rated as a 3rd rounder at best in most of the magazines.

- Tyrann Mathieu: they all say his weaknesses are his small size, durability is a concern, he's a slot CB only, man coverage limitations, unrefined technique, will get pushed around a lot by bigger WRs, and obvious maturity concerns. A lot of the magazines have him as a 4-6th rounder.

Rambo is more likely of the 3.
Swearinger ins't going in the 6th.
We do have a 7th rounder, or did you just cut it short on purpose?

Just decided to go 6 rounds even though I know Shanny can find some 7th round gems

For anyone interested in the most realistic mock draft available go to

#MockOne | Where Twitter Users Mock the NFL Draft! (http://www.mockone.net/)

This is a twitter bases mock that involves individual team analysts who know what each team is "thinking" and what their true needs are. We as Skins fans know what we need to make happen, but does anybody on here know what the Chargers are lookin for in the 5th round of the draft? Its just for fun but is more accurate in finding out who falls when. Considering we dont have a pick till the 2nd round makes it hard but our team is still trying its best to be a relative as possible. Im the AGM @joeyt5656 but if you dont like me then follow @MockOne to see whats goin on.

Rambo is more likely of the 3.

Rambo has too many weaknesses. Fresno State's Phillip Thomas would be the better pick if Jonathan Cyprien is off the boards.
