I was asked what resources I use. I use no resources that all of you don’t know already. I mainly do these off of my own thoughts and opinions about team needs and players. But, I also use specific people on twitter, espn, walterfootball, etc, nothing special.
Anyway, round 1 reasoning behind the picks have been added. Some are short and sweet, some are more lengthy, anyway, enjoy.
If you'd like any picks explained, please feel free to ask.
Rate, hate, etc etc etc, can't wait to hear what you have to say.
OK, I’m using the draft order provided by WalterFootball.com
(
http://walterfootball.com/nfldraftorder2013.php )
Round 11. Kansas City (2-12) - Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
Pretty much has to be the pick.
2. Jacksonville (2-12) - Jarvis Jones, DE/OLB, Georgia
Best player in the draft and fills a need. No brainer.
3. Oakland (4-10) - Star Lotuelei, NT, Utah
BPA and need.
4. Philadelphia (4-10) - Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
I don’t think Philly’s offensive line is as bad as it looks. They have a lot of injuries and one of the best left tackles in football already so I can see them going elsewhere with this pick. Te’o or Milliner could be the pick. Te’o can play any of the LB positions for Philly, allowing them to move others around and Milliner could help their inept secondary. But, with all that said, I still have a hard time seeing the Eagles pick someone else.
5. Detroit (4-10) - Manti Te’o, LB, Notre Dame
Detroit is in a sweet spot here. If Philly take Joeckel, Milliner or Te’o it still leaves 2 out of 3 of the top talents for the Detroit, all at areas of need. Te’o is the best option of the bunch, but Milliner fills the biggest need for Detroit so don’t be surprised to see Milliner here over Te’o.
6. San Diego (5-9) - DeMarcus Milliner, CB, Alabama
Best corner in the draft, fills a need, no offensive line pick available here.
7. Buffalo (5-9) - Damontre Moore, DE/OLB, Texas A&M
Buffalo went and screwed up spending all that money on pass rushers last offseason and have seen little reward for it. So, they go with the BPA on the board and bolster a subpar pass rush unit.
8. Cleveland (5-9) - Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
Cleveland is kind of in a shit spot here. I could see them trading this pick in this situation. But, I don’t like to predict trades so Cleveland goes with the BPA and also fills a need. Could be worse.
9. Carolina (5-9) - Johnathan Hankins, NT, Ohio State
Passed over Fletcher Cox, they won’t fuck up like that again.
10. Tennessee (5-9) - Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State
May not be the BPA but it’s an area of need and not too much of a reach for Banks. He’s a bit underrated but this is also a bit of a reach but Tennessee needs a corner.
11. Arizona (5-9) - Chance Warmack, G, Alabama
Here the Cardinals take the most talented guard in the draft. They passed on DeCastro last year for another receiver, look how their line held up. Warmack is more talented than Lewan and taking the OT over the G because of position when the G is much more talented is just silly. Levi Brown, Potter and Massie will be 3 available starters at OT for the Cardinals, wait for the later rounds to address the outside.
12. Tampa Bay (6-8) - Dion Jordan, DE/OLB, Oregon
Unfortunately for Tampa all of the top corners are gone. Milliner and Banks are really the only two corners worthy of taking in the top 15 while no safety is worthy of it. They need pass rush though so taking the best pass rusher on the board is by far the superior pick. This year is actually fairly deep talent wise in the secondary, CB and S can be addressed in later rounds.
13. Miami (6-8) - Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan
Miami most likely will lose Jake Long so they need to address the OT position immediately.
14. New York Jets (6-8) - Tyler Wilson, QB, Arkansas
Mark Sanchez, Greg McElroy……LOL. Need I say more? They really went and fucked themselves hard by not going with Tebow at all. But wait, where’s Matt Barkely? Well, even if Barkely hadn’t have fallen down everyone’s boards lately, I doubt the Jets would risk the USC quarterback yet again, but then again, it is the Jets…
15. New Orleans (6-8) - Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
One of the BPAs and a huge area of need for the Saints. Match made in heaven.
16. St. Louis (6-7-1) - Keenan Allen, WR, California
WR is up in the air as far as how to rank them. I still say Woods is the best but until the combine and workouts, we won’t have a clear view so I’ll go with Allen here. The Rams need to give Bradford a true #1 and they can here with Allen, Patterson, a handful of other receiver who can jump to the top.
17. Pittsburgh (7-7) - Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
The Steelers need OL help, Fisher fits this spot value wise, it works.
18. Dallas (8-6) - Johnathan Jenkins, NT, Georgia
If Dallas does this, they can move Ratliff to the outside where he belongs and immediately bolster their NT and DE positions in one move.
19. Chicago (8-6) - Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M
Like with Pittsburgh, it’s a need, it’s the right time to pick the player, it works.
20. New York Giants (8-6) - Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU
Those Giants sure do like their DEs right? With Tuck having a down year and Osi most likely moving on, this will be a great pick. JPP 2.0 incoming.
21. Cincinnati (8-6) - Sam Montgomery, DE/OLB, LSU
I’d still go Ogletree here but I love to hear from you guys so Dan, here you go. Look further and you’ll see damn near the entire draft worked in your favor.
22. St. Louis - from Washington (8-6) – Matt Elam, S, Florida
St. Louis actually has a pretty good defense but their secondary is lacking. They get a very talented safety here.
23. Minnesota (8-6) - Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
As stated above at Allen, it’s impossible to predict WRs this early but Patterson seems to be the clear cut best at the moment so the Vikings get a steal with him this late in the first. Harvin is a very talented receiver but he’s not a #1, Patterson and Harvin could be one of the deadliest duos since Fitz and Q.
24. Indianapolis (9-5) - Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia
The Colts have their difference maker, play maker, beast on offense again and they need one on defense now. They get quite possibly the biggest steal of the draft here. Ogletree is top 10 talent at a position that just isn’t all that needed in this upper teams. Luck on offense, Ogletree on defense, dynamic duo.
25. Baltimore (9-5) - Kevin Minter, ILB, LSU
Well fuck. The Ravens nearly landed Ogletree. But, shit happens. Most will put CJ Mosley here but I say he can’t make the transition to ILB very successfully so I put Minter here. Minter is more talented imo anyway, only time will tell.
26. Seattle (9-5) - Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame
They need a TE, they get their best one in the draft. Derp pick here.
27. Green Bay (10-4) - Giovani Bernard, RB, North Carolina
Like Seattle, they need a back, they get the best one in the draft. I don’t always herp, but when I do, I derp as well.
28. New England (10-4) - Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia
New England went hard in the paint with defensive picks last year so now they address offense. Austin is very talented and Brady is going to turn him into a monster! Wes Welker 2.0
29. San Francisco (10-3-1) - Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas
It’s kind of hard to mock to SF to be honest. They really don’t have any true needs. Safety is the only thing that is truly lacking some so here we are.
30. Denver (11-3) - Louis Nix, DT, Notre Dame
They need help in the middle of their line, badly. Boom, headshot.
31. Atlanta (12-2) - Barret Jones, G/C/OT, Alabama
Konz last year, Jones this year. Two very versatile guys who can play all over the line. With those 2 guys anchoring their offensive line for years and years to come, they can put in any other pieces and move Konz and Jones to the weak spots.
32. Houston (12-2) - Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee
Dre is starting to get up there in age, they still lack another receiver anyway, double whammy.
Round 21. Jacksonville (2-12) - Joseph Randle, RB, Oklahoma State
2. Kansas City (2-12) - Terrance Williams, WR, Baylor
3. Philadelphia (4-10) - Barkevious Mingo, DE/OLB, LSU
