National Football Post Mock Draft 1.0

[goodlookinout]

11. Buffalo Matt Barkley QB USC Even though Barkley is not considered a premier prospect, the Bills have made it clear that they want to upgrade at quarterback and Barkley will not be available when they pick in the second round.

12. New Orleans Barkevious Mingo* DE LSU Will Smith is 31 and the Saints struggled greatly to consistently pressure the quarterback in recent seasons, so they are willing to take gamble on Mingo who has rare explosiveness and physical talent, but had a disappointing 2012 season.

13. Miami Sam Montgomery* OLB LSU The Dolphins' pass rush has been inconsistent as offenses are able to focus all their attention on Cameron Wake, so getting Montgomery would give them a dangerous pass rusher opposite Wake.

14. NY Jets Dion Jordan* OLB Oregon Bryan Thomas and Calvin Pace are both on the wrong side of 30, so the Jets jump at the chance to grab Jordan who has the rare dynamic and explosive athleticism to make an impact as an edge rusher.

15. St. Louis Taylor Lewan* OT Michigan The Rams' offensive line has struggled to consistently give Bradford a clean pocket and time to go through progressions, so adding Lewan makes too much sense as he becomes their best offensive tackle on draft day.

16. Tampa Bay Johnathan Banks CB Mississippi St. After trading away Aqib Talib the Buccaneers need to add talent at the cornerback position and Banks' height, long arms, athleticism and ball skills remind many of Jimmy Smith.

17. St. Louis (from Washington) Keenan Allen* WR California

Cal WR Keenan Allen

Even with the impressive rookie season of Chris Givens, the Rams need to find more weapons to help Bradford and Allen has the size and athletic talent to be a big play receiver for the Rams.

18. Dallas Eric Fisher OT Central Michigan The Cowboys have struggled all season to protect Tony Romo and Fisher would give them an upgrade at right tackle.

19. Minnesota Sheldon Richardson* DT Missouri Long time star defensive tackle Kevin Williams is 32 and the Vikings could use an infusion of young talent and Richardson has the talent to be an explosive, interior force.

20. Cincinnati Kenny Vaccaro SAF Texas The Bengals have a number of solid safeties, but to get a safety with Vaccaro's athleticism and play making ability to too much for the Bengals to pass on.

21(P) Pittsburgh Uday Aboushi OT Virginia The Steelers offensive line has been a major problem in 2012 leading to Big Ben taking a beating, so they grab Aboushi who has really been flying up draft boards recently.

22(P) Seattle Tavon Austin WR West Virginia Sidney Rice and Golden Tate are good receivers, but Austin has the rare explosiveness and game changing speed to really open up the Seahawks' offense.

23(P) NY Giants Tyler Eifert* TE Notre Dame With Martellus Bennett the Giants have a solid tight end, but Eifert has the size, speed and receiving skills to be a big play maker for their offense.

24(P) Indianapolis Jonathan Hankins* DT Ohio State Hankins is a big, strong and athletic player who played defensive tackle in college, but is ideally suited to playing defensive end in the Colts 34 scheme.

25(P) Chicago D.J. Fluker* OT Alabama While Fluker is not a great athlete, he is a massive man with great strength which gives him the ability to physically dominate his man. He should be able to step in and start at right tackle or guard as a rookie.

26(P) Green Bay Barrett Jones C / OG Alabama

Alabama C Barrett Jones

The Packers' interior offensive line has struggled to protect Aaron Rodgers the last few seasons and Jones would give them a tough, hard nosed starting center or guard.

27(P) San Francisco Jesse Williams DT Alabama Even though the 49'ers defense is the strength of their team, Williams gives them a young, massive body to play NT and DE in their scheme.

28(P) Denver John Jenkins DT Georgia The Broncos have two older defensive linemen, Justin Bannan and Kevin Vickerson, starting so grabbing Jenkins gives them a very gifted young defensive tackle who can backup both in 2013 and eventually become a starter.

29(P) Baltimore Jarvis Jones* OLB Georgia The Ravens have won the bulk of their games in 2012 despite an inconsistent pass rush. Jones is an explosive athlete with electric pass rush skills who could challenge to start as a rookie and the Ravens have shown a willingness to gamble on players with medical questions.

30(P) New England Ezekial Ansah OLB BYU Extremely raw, but immensely talented, Ansah is the type of player that Belichick loves to gamble on because of the potential upside.

31(P) Atlanta Zach Ertz* TE Stanford With all signs pointing towards Tony Gonzalez retiring after this season, the Falcons want to make sure they continue to have a tight end who is a receiving weapon.

32(P) Houston Robert Woods* WR USC For years the Texans have been looking to find a receiver opposite Andre Johnson and Woods would be a good compliment because he is a fundamentally sound, sure handed receiver with deceptive big play ability.

P - TO BE DETERMINED BY PLAYOFFS

* - UNDERCLASSMEN

 

[dbrazil412]

our draft needs i believe are all offensive... line lol

i'd def go 1-2 with a T, and OG.. 3rd round, RB.. seeing how demarco seems injury prone, and we do not have a quality backup behind him

 

[dbrazil412]

steelers could also use offensive line help.. but they used their 1st 2 picks last year on decastro & mike adams.. i think with a healthy decastro, and with a lil more work on adam's technique, they'll be straight.. especiallky with pouncey anchoring down the middle..

i say they use their 1st rounder on defense.. ideally in the secondary. then work on that D-line with keisel and hampton getting up there in age. wouldnt be surprised if they went for another outside pass rusher though either

 

[CottonCitySlim]

i don't know how i feel about us taking another 1st rd lineman i'd rather go LB or interior DL, GB is good at finding late gems anyways

First 2013 Mock Draft - December 4, 2012

2. Jacksonville Bjoern Werner* DE Florida State Jacksonville has few high level players and for it to become a quality team they will need to upgrade at many positions. Werner is very similar to Chris Long who has developed into an excellent defensive end and Werner could really upgrade the Jaguars' pass rush.

Again? Another DE?

 

[greenwood1921]

Wack. Werner going in the top 5? Dude just started playing football like 5 years ago.

And lol @ us taking a TE in the first round. Only way we take an offensive player is if there is a impact player that drops that far that we just can't pass on.

 

[BDBIID]

This mock is awful lol.

1.Jarvis Jones is not going that late.

2.Werner is good but not top 2 good. I expect him to be a 1st rounder though.

3.Our pick that's going to the Rams will not before Dallass

 

[HustleThaDon]

If Cincinnati drafted Kenny Vaccaro in the 1st round.....smh

 

[Shizlansky]

Sam will play DE in the NFL and Mingo will play OLB.

 

[Shizlansky]

Ill be damn if them stiff ass linemen from Bama be drafted that high.

Them niggas is one dimensional.

 

[DubbGotti614]

If my browns make great decisions in this draft we should be set

 

[waterproof]

OAKLAND RAIDERS YOU ARE NOW ON THE CLOCK.............

We need Chance Warmack OG Alabama, give me Jared at LT, Warmack aT LG and Wiz at C

but i would be fine with Manti Te'o

 

[lamontbdc]

27(P) San Francisco Jesse Williams DT Alabama Even though the 49'ers defense is the strength of their team, Williams gives them a young, massive body to play NT and DE in their scheme.

I can dig this but no way Jarvis Jones lasts that long.

 

[Shizlansky]

Them boys from Bama don't do so good in the league.

 

[dbrazil412]

Them boys from Bama don't do so good in the league.

which boys you talmbout?

 

[t_m_a_c_f_a_n73088]

-Regardless of the fact that none of these qb's are worth a #1 pick I think one will shine(prolly geno) in the combine and they will take a qb.

-If the jags do take a de I think it would be jones

-I hope the eagles take Joeckel or Warmack(I know, high for a guard)

 

[aneed123]

Them boys from Bama don't do so good in the league.

? Rahsad Johnson starting with the Cardinals, Julio Jones, Barron, Dareus, Kirpatrick, Demeco, Cody, Arenas starting with the Chiefs, Trent, Ingram good (saints dont use him right), Mcelroy just played with the Jets, Hightower and Deadrick with the Patriots... I can go on and on.... Bama players be NFL ready even Mclain crazy ass can ball when he on the field

Jax can use a pass rusher LB though. Wouldnt hurt to have an extra rusher plus a competent backup RB and a CB that doesn't brake down so often

 

[coop9889]

Dont even have the correct order for the draft why would you do a mock so soon
