Well we're almost a week away (finally) from the draft. Heres my mock draft.
1. KC Luke Joeckel-Makes the most sense
2. Jax Tavon Austin- Shocker? Yeah, Jax supposedly has it narrowed down to two players. My thinking is that whether Gabbert is or isn't the answer (he isn't) they can get a big play WR for him or whomever they get next year. The pass rushers in this draft are deep. Plus next year they'll be more than likely picking in the top 5 again, where they'll have a chance to get a great QB (Teddy Bridgewater, David Fales) or a great pass rusher (Jadevon Clowney) plus they have a very high 2nd round pick in this draft should they go after a Mike Glennon or Matt Barkley.
3. Oakland Shariff Floyd- they need a pass rusher, and a DT, he's both.
4. Philly Dion Jordan- Chip Kelly will probably get someone he is familiar with and they're changing to a 3-4 which is where I think Dion should play. I really contemplated Eric Fisher here.
5. Detroit Eric Fisher- They lost Backus and Riley Reiff is more of a RT. Protecting stafford is most important.
6. Cleveland Dee Milliner- him with Haden is a great tandem that'll be hard for the rest of the AFCN to throw on.
7. Arizona Lane Johnson- They're OL sucked all year. Makes the most sense to get the best OLineman available.
8. Buffalo Ziggy Ansah- Again, they need a lot.
9. New York Jarvis Jones- His spine is good enough for Rex
10. Tennessee Johnathan Cooper- they need a guard that can go against JJ 2 times a year, I like Warmack more than Cooper, but they like Cooper supposedly.
11. San Diego Chance Warmack-they need OL help
12. Miami Sheldon Richardson- I was between him and Lotulelei, Sheldon doesn't have the heart red flag and is more battle tested in the SEC.
13. TRADE Jets Geno Smith- Jets trade Revis to the Bucs and get their QB.
14. Carolina Star Lotulelei- They need a good DT here he is.
15. New Orleans Brakevious Mingo- They're changing to a 3-4 heres an OLB from their backyard. Plus Rob Ryan likes CBs and gets what he wants (heard that on NFLN tonight).
16. St. Louis Kenny Vaccaro- they cut Mikell, so heres their new FS.
17. Pittsburgh Cordarrelle Patterson- they need a lot, BPA of need is a WR who is physical and can make plays.
18. Dallas Johnathan Cyprien- They need a safety, he can play both positions. Jerry supposedly loves him; another surprise.
19. New York Giants Bjorn Werner- they know that Osi is gone and Tuck is going down hill. They want someone opposite JPP.
20. Chicago Arthur Brown- they need an MLB to replace Urlacher. I was between Te'o, brown and Ogletree. Browns the least controversial of the 3.
21. Cincinnati Alec Ogletree- athletic MLB to replace Maualuga or can play OLB should Burfict move there.
22. St. Louis DeAndre Hopkins- They need a WR, he's a big play WR
23. Minnesota Manti Te'o- they need a MLB. Te'o fits well in that locker room and division.
24. Indy Jesse Williams- he can play DE and NT, I think they choose him over Datone Jones a DE
25. Minnesota Xavier Rhodes- they need a CB to replace Winfield
26. Green Bay Datone Jones- a pass rushing DE to create pressure opposite Matthews.
27. Houston Keenan Allen- its between him and Minter; offense is getting old and one demensional.
28. Denver Slyvester Williams- they need a MLB, DT, DE, CB, S. Heres the BPA of need.
29. New England Desmond Trufant- they to need a DT, DE, CB and S. Trufant his nfl bloodlines, so maybe Belichick finally hits on this one.
30. Atlanta Tyler Eifert- Heres Tony Gonzalezs replacement
31. San Francisco Zach Ertz- Jim Harbaugh supposedly loves Ertz and they lost Delanie Walker. I was torn between him and John Jenkins. I think they pick the other (jenkins in this case) with the Chiefs 2nd rounder they acquired.
32. Baltimore Kevin Minter- amazing how all these great players of need falls to Baltimore. Lose Ray Lewis and Dannell Ellerbe; get McClain and Minter. (Could easily see a trade occuring here though for a QB needy team that wants to pay guaranteed money and years to a QB)

Yes I only have 1 QB going in the first and yes I don't have a RB going in the first. If I were to have a RB going anywhere, it would be Lacy to the Rams at 22.

also heres a good article of undervalued prospects
The 2013 draft's 'Better-than' Team - CBSSports.com (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/pete-prisco/22077746/the-2013-nfl-draft-better-than-team)

Nice work Cult . I would hate to see Fisher fall to the Lions ( Oakland should take him ).

Good mock but rob Ryan isn't in Cleveland, he's in N.O

No way Geno Smith makes it out of the top 10.

Really? I don't think he's that good.

No way Geno Smith makes it out of the top 10.

Well I hope the Eagles take him because I believe at best he will be just an average quarterback, not good enough to win you big playoff games, but not bad enough to get benched. See Matt Schaub for a prime example.

Whoops, wasn't fully thinking there. Its been changed.


As for the Geno isn't getting out of the top 10 statement; This QB class is awful. I think the main consensus in the NFL is that this is an awful QB class. People have said either the above statement; that there won't be any QB in the first; that Geno will go late to a team that trades back into the first; we could have 2-3 first round QBs. I'm sticking with one, and that he goes just out of the top ten. I figure if you're the jets, you get rid of Revis, get a pass rusher to make up for the extra coverage a guy like Revis brings you when they didn't have a pass rush, use the other pick on a QB because Geno may actually be slightly better than Sanchez and you know Rex will try to get a QB that can run the option like RG3, since it brought success like last years QBs.

I agree its a poor class, but people love reaching for QBs. Im thinking 3 go first round.
