Final Mock - Happy Draft Day!

I cannot believe tonight is the night. NFL Draft 2013 is finally here. I'm not going to go into one of my long spiels here, just focus on the draft. Not much commentary for much of the picks. Enjoy the draft all!

1.) Kansas City Chiefs: Eric Fisher OT/Central Michigan

2.) Jacksonville Jaguars: Dion Jordan OLB/Oregon

**Trade**The Oakland Raiders trade the 3rd overall pick to the San Diego Chargers in exchange for the 11th overall pick, the 45th overall pick, and the 110th overall pick this year and a 3rd round pick next year. The Raiders also trade their 5th round pick next year.
3.) San Diego Chargers: Luke Joeckel OT/Texas A&M

**Trade**The Philadelphia Eagles trade the 4th overall pick to the New York Jets in exchange for the 9th overall pick, the 39th overall pick and the 141st overall pick in this year's draft and a 2nd round pick next year. The Eagles also trade their 4th round pick next season.
4.) New York Jets: Dee Milliner CB/Alabama  Has to be done. Losing Revis leaves this team with a depleted secondary. Now they have ammunition to go get the best player available at this point.

5.) Detroit Lions: Ziggy Ansah DE/OLB/BYU

**Trade**The Cleveland Browns trade the 6th overall pick to the St. Louis Rams in exchange for the 16th overall pick, the 46th overall pick, and the 78th overall pick in this year's draft. The Browns also trade their 5th round pick this year.
6.) St. Louis Rams: Tavon Austin WR/West Virginia  I've had the Rams trading up for Austin for awhile now and I get the hunch the Browns will be the dance partner.

7.) Arizona Cardinals: Lane Johnson OT/Oklahoma  If it falls this way, this pick will last about 10 seconds.

**Trade**The Buffalo Bills trade the 8th overall pick to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for the 31st overall pick, the 34th overall pick and the 128th overall pick in this year's draft and their 1st round pick next year. The Bills trade their 5th round pick next year.
8.) San Francisco 49ers: Sharrif Floyd DT/Florida  The 49ers are rumored to be interested in moving up in the draft. The Bills, I believe, would prefer to move back. With Justin Smith getting up there in age, the Niners want to find his eventual replacement. The Bills move back and acquire necessary picks and manage to get a first next season because of the large disparity in picks.

9.) Philadelphia Eagles (from NYJ): Geno Smith QB/West Virginia

10.) Tennessee Titans: Star Lotulelei DT/Utah

11.) Oakland Raiders (from SD): Sylvester Williams DT/North Carolina

**Trade**The Miami Dolphins trade the 12th overall pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for the 17th overall pick, the 79th overall pick and the 186th overall pick in this year's draft. The Dolphins also trade a 4th round pick next season.
12.) Pittsburgh Steelers: Barkevious Mingo OLB/LSU  The Steelers could not afford to wait with the Jets looming and very interested in Mingo. They had to make a move to get in front of the Jets.

13.) New York Jets (from TB): Chance Warmack G/Alabama  I think the Jets are all talk when it comes to QB interest.

14.) Carolina Panthers: Kenny Vaccaro S/Texas

15.) New Orleans Saints: Jarvis Jones OLB/Georgia

16.) Cleveland Browns (from STL): Margus Hunt DE/SMU  Might be a reach but I think this will be the Bruce Irvin of this year, an out of nowhere pick.

17.) Miami Dolphins (from PIT): D.J. Hayden CB/Houston

**Trade**The Dallas Cowboys trade the 18th overall pick to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for the 32nd overall pick, the 62nd overall pick, and the 200th overall pick in this year's draft. The Ravens also trade a 3rd round pick next year and the Cowboys send their 4th round pick next year to the Ravens.
18.) Baltimore Ravens: Manti Te'o LB/Notre Dame  Had to do it. What a story it would be to have a guy fall from grace and have the World Champs surprise everyone and move up to take Te'o.

19.) New York Giants: Jonathan Cooper G/North Carolina

20.) Chicago Bears: Sheldon Richardson DT/Missouri

21.) Cincinnati Bengals: Eddie Lacy RB/Alabama  If they want their guy at RB, they have to make a move now.

22.) St. Louis Rams: Jonathan Cyprien S/Florida International

**Trade**The Minnesota Vikings trade the 23rd overall pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for the 33rd overall pick, the 98th overall pick in this year's draft and a 3rd round pick next year.
23.) Jacksonville Jaguars: E.J. Manuel QB/Florida State  The Jags don't wait and take a chance, they move up to get their guy.

24.) Indianapolis Colts: Bjoern Werner DE/Florida State

25.) Minnesota Vikings (from SEA): Justin Hunter WR/Tennessee

26.) Green Bay Packers: Desmond Trufant CB/Washington

27.) Houston Texans: Robert Woods WR/USC

28.) Denver Broncos: Datone Jones DE/UCLA

**Trade**The New England Patriots trade the 29th overall pick to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for the 38th overall pick, the 69th overall pick, and the 174th overall pick in this year's draft. The Cardinals also trade their 4th round pick next year while the Pats trade the 235th overall pick this year.
29.) Arizona Cardinals: Tyler Bray QB/Tennessee  Might be a surprise but I have heard rumors that the Cards are very high on Bray and many teams believe he has the best arm talent out of any QB in this year's draft.

30.) Atlanta Falcons: Xavier Rhodes CB/Florida State

31.) Buffalo Bills (from SF): Ryan Nassib QB/Syracuse  By trading back in this scenario, the Bills get the guy they have been targeting and get extra picks in the process. This would be a monumental thing to have happen to this franchise that has seen one too many dark days. Nassib is the future and this marriage between the two just makes too much sense. If teams are skeptical on the Qbs this year there is no reason to believe this scenario would workout.

32.) Dallas Cowboys (from BAL): D.J. Fluker OT/Alabama

Round 2

33.) Minnesota Vikings (from JAX): Jamar Taylor CB/Boise State

34.) Buffalo Bills (from SF): Tyler Eifert TE/Notre Dame  If Eifert were to get to this spot in the draft, it should be a no brainer. A game changing TE could help Nassib's development move quicker than anticipated, not to mention another pick in a few spots here.

35.) Philadelphia Eagles: Menelik Watson OT/Florida State

36.) Detroit Lions: Justin Pugh OT/Syracuse

37.) Cincinnati Bengals (from OAK): Alec Ogletree LB/Georgia

38.) New England Patriots (from ARZ): Matt Elam S/Florida

39.) Philadelphia Eagles (from NYJ): Johnthan Banks CB/Mississippi State

40.) Tennessee Titans: Kevin Minter LB/LSU

41.) Buffalo Bills: DeAndre Hopkins WR/Clemson  Same situation with Eifert, if he falls to this spot which is very likely, I think the Bills should be running to the podium. Nassib will now have two big options to throw to as a young QB.

42.) Miami Dolphins: Terron Armstead OT/Arkansas Pine-Bluff

43.) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jesse Williams DT/Alabama

44.) Carolina Panthers: Johnathan Hankins DT/Ohio State

45.) Oakland Raiders (from SD): Matt Barkley QB/USC

46.) Cleveland Browns (from STL): Cordarrelle Patterson WR/Tennessee

47.) Dallas Cowboys: Tank Carradine DE/Florida State

48.) Pittsburgh Steelers: Eric Reid S/LSU

49.) New York Giants: Montee Ball RB/Wisconsin

50.) Chicago Bears: Alex Okafor DE/Texas

51.) Washington Redskins: Arthur Brown OLB/Kansas State

52.) Minnesota Vikings: Kawann Short DT/Purdue

53.) Cincinnati Bengals: Phillip Thomas S/Fresno State

54.) Miami Dolphins (from IND): Damontre Moore DE/Texas A&M

55.) Green Bay Packers: Zach Ertz TE/Stanford

56.) Seattle Seahawks: Keenan Allen WR/California

57.) Houston Texans: Blidi Wreh-Wilson CB/UConn

58.) Denver Broncos: Kyle Long OT/Oregon

59.) New England Patriots: Tyrann Mathieu CB/LSU

60.) Atlanta Falcons: Sio Moore OLB/UConn

61.) San Francisco 49ers: Sam Montgomery DE/LSU

62.) Dallas Cowboys (from BAL): Vance McDonald TE/Rice

Round 3

63.) Kansas City Chiefs: Tyler Wilson QB/Arkansas

64.) Jacksonville Jaguars: Giovani Bernard RB/North Carolina

65.) Detroit Lions: Quinton Patton WR/Louisiana Tech

66.) Oakland Raiders: Darius Slay CB/Mississippi State

67.) Philadelphia Eagles: D.J. Swearinger S/South Carolina

68.) Cleveland Browns: David Amerson CB/North Carolina State

69.) New England Patriots (from ARZ): Terrance Williams WR/Baylor

70.) Tennessee Titans: Stedman Bailey WR/West Virginia

71.) Buffalo Bills: Barrett Jones C/Alabama  Much like Eric Wood, Jones is a Center by trade but can play anywhere on the offensive line. This would be a great pick to fill the void at guard and in the (hopefully) unlikely event Wood does not resign, Jones can slide right into the center position.

So there it is, my final mock draft for the 2013 season. I really enjoy doing this and appreciate all the reads I am getting. I will be back next year with my first mock draft being released the week after the BCS Title game. Thanks and enjoy draft night!
