NFL Draft Center - 2013 Mock Draft: The Mock: Pre-Mayan End of the World Edition - Pigskin Heaven

Welcome to the PSH Draft Center!

  1. Well, seeing as we may well not be able to write these things next week, I'm writing in advance of the end of the world, projected for sometime Friday. If it doesn't end, I'll be back next week with yet another sarcastic joke filled edition of The Mock.
  2. Round 1
  3. 1. Kansas City Chiefs - Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
    When starting over you are, a quarterback you must draft, at least it seems from afar.
  4. 2. Jacksonville Jaguars - Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
    Ok, the rhyming thing lasted all of one pick. With Jacksonville, the biggest need they have is a quarterback. Seeing none (and seeing several will be available near the top of Round 2), I have them going in the next best direction: an actual pass rushing defensive end.
  5. 3. Oakland Raiders - Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
    The Raiders are atrocious on defense, and Lotulelei can collapse the pocket on running or passing downs. Seems like a great fit for the Black Hole.
  6. 4. Philadelphia Eagles - Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
    Philly really needs a new left tackle. I cannot emphasize how much they need a left tackle. They also need a coach who calls passing plays less than 80% of the time (seriously, Andy, the college ranks are calling).
  7. 5. Detroit Lions - Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M
    I'll just throw in here that I really really love the edge rushers in this draft and move on.
  8. 6. San Diego Chargers - Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M
    The tackles in San Diego are just bad. This is another team in need of a major overhaul, and it'll be done under new leadership.
  9. 7. Buffalo Bills - Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame
    Buffalo doesn't do much well right now. Te'o gives them a presence inside that will toughen up the defense and allow them to address the quarterback issues later. Mark my words, given that they may have been scouring this site for a QB yesterday, they do not intend on leaving the draft without a new starter.
  10. 8. Cleveland Browns - Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
    Not quite sure what the situation is going to be in Cleveland in two weeks, but for now, my Dawgs get a guy who can rush the passer.
  11. 9. Carolina Panthers - Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
    Carolina has their franchise quarterback (maybe) and a franchise middle linebacker (definitely). Now they need to add the lockdown corner to continue to keep up with the (Julio) Joneses in the South.
  12. 10. Tennessee Titans - Keenan Allen, WR, California
    When your top receiver is one drink too many away from a suspension, you need some help. Keenan Allen can be that guy here.
  13. 11. Arizona Cardinals - Tyler Wilson, QB, Arkansas
    You can see a Quarterback Reach Right play coming from a mile away with Arizona and whoever is calling their plays next. They need it, or Larry Fitzgerald will not be a happy camper.
  14. 12. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Barkevious Mingo, DE, LSU
    Peter Smith likes this pick more than I do, but when you need pass rushing help, you call the guy with the most interesting first name in the first round.
  15. 13. Miami Dolphins - Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan
    In 2008, the Dolphins took a left tackle from Michigan first overall. At least this time, they'll do it from the 13th selection.
  16. 14. New York Jets - Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee
    The Jets were hoping Tyler Wilson would slide here, but he didn't. At least not this week (stay tuned for next week's crazy happenings, whether or not the Mayans were right). Instead, they'll start reloading the toolbox for whoever their new quarterback is with a great young receiver from Tennessee.
  17. 15. New Orleans Saints - Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State
    Big Hank finally comes off the board at 15.
  18. 16. St. Louis Rams - Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
    The Rams need a wide receiver, but none of the available talent fits here at the moment. Richardson is a potentially elite defensive tackle and would give the Rams one of the best young defensive lines in football.
  19. 17. Pittsburgh Steelers - Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama
    Where hasn't Pittsburgh gotten old? The Steelers address a need at nose tackle.
  20. 18. Dallas Cowboys - Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama
    I may be giving too much hope to Cowboys fans here. Chance Warmack is a stud guard and they've be very lucky to have him here.
  21. 19. Chicago Bears - Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina
    The Bears take a defensive tackle who can penetrate and play the run. Very critical if you want to stop Adrian Peterson.
  22. 20. New York Giants - Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State
    In a division like the NFC East, you can never have enough good corners.
  23. 21. Cincinnati Bengals - Barrett Jones, C, Alabama
    The Bengals have struggled to stay healthy up front this year. Jones could play for them for a long time at a number of different spots.
  24. 22. St. Louis Rams - Terrance Williams, WR, Baylor
    The Rams can afford to reach a bit on a receiver here with two first round picks, this one from Washington.
  25. 23. Minnesota Vikings - Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State
    Green Bay and Detroit like to throw the ball a lot, and Antoine Winfield is getting up there in age. Rhodes could be a long-term replacement.
  26. 24. Indianapolis Colts - John Jenkins, DT, Georgia
    The Colts have a big need at nose tackle, and Jenkins is a big man...fits the bill I think.
  27. 25. Baltimore Ravens - Alec Ogletree, OLB, Georgia
    With Ray Lewis aging, the Ravens will need to stock up on younger linebackers. They also need to figure out what the heck they're doing on offense too.
  28. 26. Seattle Seahawks - Kawann Short, DT, Purdue
    The Seahawks could use some help against the run, giving up 4.5 yards per carry this season.
  29. 27. Green Bay Packers - Giovani Bernard, RB, North Carolina
    The Packers have not had a back who can consistently tote the rock for years. Bernard is an instant upgrade and can contribute in the passing game as well as a receiver.
  30. 28. New England Patriots - Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
    The Patriots really need to add some firepower through the passing game, and Patterson could be a huge lift to them.
  31. 29. San Francisco 49ers - Matt Elam, S, Florida
    San Francisco could use some help in the defensive secondary. Elam could play right away.
  32. 30. Denver Broncos - Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
    While the Broncos have been good on defense this year, they could still use some help up the middle.
  33. 31. Atlanta Falcons - Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU
    While John Abraham is still very productive, they'll need a replacement eventually. Ansah, while raw, could develop into that guy in a year or two and is very much worth the risk here.
  34. 32. Houston Texans - DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson
    DeAndre Hopkins slides in here as my final pick to give the Texans a number two receiver who help them right away.
  35. If this is the end, good night, and good luck. If it isn't, well, I'll need some other crazy theme for next week.

    I'm cool with Long leaving Miami... but with Lewan play Right or Left Tackle? Martin, aside from a few rookie moments, seems to be playing Left Tackle better than he played right tackle in Miami right now.

    Also, I watched the BYU SDSU game today. Ansah could be a stud

    Also, if the 9ers went after secondary help I personally think they'd be looking for a corner, not a safety. Would Elam be able to make the switch?
  3. Chris Raiden -
    I don't think he'd have to. I think (I could be wrong) Donte Whitner's Dashon Goldson's contract is up after this season.

    Ah I see, didn't know that
  5. Crunked -
    cant argue with much for my Colties until I see the avaiability of the free agent pool this year 95% of their draft strategy will depend on what holes can be filled via free agency......like I had said previously I "feel" (yeah gut reaction here) they will target O-line with their truck loads of free money, simply because the risk/return on those types of free agents isn't as great as a marquee position you dump 40 mil signing on and hope..........although Grigson has shown he is not afraid to gamble, I just don't see a lot of that going down......a handful of 5-10 mil bonuses are more likely and you could definitely build an O-line with 3 or 4 of those types of scratch......and then draft the heck out of some defensive peeps.........
