2013 NFL Mock Draft (4/23/13): THREE ROUNDS

By ANDREW CHAMPAGNE achampagne@saratogian.comTwitter.com/AndrewChampagneThanks to Walter Cherepinsky for listing this draft on his database. If you want to take a look at a ton of different mocks, check out http://www.walterfootball.com. Also check out http://www.dcprosportsreport.com/MockDraft.htmand http://www.sbnation.com/nfl-mock-draft/2013/1/15/3869542/2013-nfl-mock-draft-database, as they were kind enough to link to us as well.A quick clarification: I will not be predicting trades in any of my mock drafts. That’s too much speculation, even for a mock draft nut like me. If a trade is confirmed, I’ll throw it into the mock.With that, on to the latest mock!1) Kansas City Chiefs (2-14): Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&MI've had Luke Joeckel here for a while now, and there's no reason to change that at this point. He’s one of the best players in this draft class, and he fills a definite need after the departure of Eric Winston and with the Chiefs discussing a possible trade for Branden Albert.2) Jacksonville Jaguars (2-14): Dion Jordan, DE/OLB, OregonThis is the first wild card pick of the draft, as the Jags have needs pretty much everywhere. I wouldn't be surprised with anyone else I have in my top five, but for now, Jordan is the guy. He's the most versatile defender in the draft, with the physical ability to both rush the passer or cover slot receivers, and he's got the potential to be a building block for Jacksonville's defense going forward.3) Oakland Raiders (4-12): Sharrif Floyd, DT, FloridaThis has been a pretty popular pick for pretty obvious reasons. Tommy Kelly has been released, and the defensive line was in shambles even when he was there. If Floyd gets taken by Jacksonville, I could see the Raiders going in a number of different directions, but for now, he goes to Oakland.4) Philadelphia Eagles (4-12): Eric Fisher, OT, Central MichiganThis is as high as Geno Smith could go, and I actually had him here in my last mock. However, many have backed off of the Eagles going in that direction, so I will as well. Instead, I'll give them Fisher, one of the best players available and someone who'd fill a need at right tackle.5) Detroit Lions (4-12): Ezekiel Ansah, DE/OLB, BYUAnsah bounces back up the board with the slide of Geno Smith, and with Fisher off the board, he becomes the optimal need-filler for the Lions. Detroit lost Cliff Avril and Kyle Vanden Bosch, so there are huge holes to fill coming off the edge.6) Cleveland Browns (5-11): Dee Milliner, CB, AlabamaMilliner is available here thanks to some concerns about a shoulder injury, but he'd be an excellent fit in Cleveland if the Browns keep the pick (a sizable if). Cleveland does have Joe Haden, who’s very good, but they don’t have anyone across from him after the departure of Sheldon Brown. Milliner is easily the top corner in the draft, and this gives Cleveland a secondary to build their entire defense around for years to come.7) Arizona Cardinals (5-11): Lane Johnson, OT, OklahomaWith Carson Palmer officially a Cardinal, Lane Johnson rises. Arizona’s offensive line may have been the worst in football a year ago, and they can fill huge needs with either Johnson or Chance Warmack. Johnson is the more conventional pick, and thusly my selection, but Warmack wouldn’t surprise me, either.8) Buffalo Bills (6-10): Geno Smith, QB, West VirginiaBuffalo may very well trade down and take Ryan Nassib. If they do, thereby passing on Geno Smith with him available at this spot, it's a hare-brained form of nepotism that won't work. Geno is easily the best quarterback prospect in the draft, and as such, I don't think the Bills can afford to pass him up if he's available here. If they do, it starts an absolute free-fall for the WVU standout, who may very well fall out of the first round.9) New York Jets (6-10): Star Lotulelei, DT, UtahLotulelei’s been cleared to play, which is great news. He was considered a top-five prospect before news of his heart condition leaked at the Combine, and he may rise back to that point before draft day. The Jets could use an impact player in the middle of their defensive line, so this could wind up being a great pick if Lotulelei’s still on the board.10) Tennessee Titans (6-10): Chance Warmack, OG, AlabamaIn normal years, a guard in the top 10 would be a reach. However, this is far from a normal year, and Warmack is one of the best players available. There’s still a need at right guard, even after the signing of Andy Levitre, and this could really bolster Tennessee’s run game while giving Jake Locker time to grow as a quarterback.11) San Diego Chargers (7-9): Tavon Austin, WR, West VirginiaDanario Alexander may wind up departing San Diego as a restricted free agent. If that happens, Philip Rivers wouldn’t have anything to work with in the passing game besides Antonio Gates. I’ve had Cordarelle Patterson here for a while, but his stock has reportedly fallen while Austin’s has steadily risen since the Combine.12) Miami Dolphins (7-9): Jarvis Jones, DE/OLB, GeorgiaBjoern Werner was the pick, but his stock is dropping. Jones was once considered a top-five prospect, and he fills a need in Miami. The Dolphins need a presence opposite Cameron Wake, and Jones clearly has the potential to be a top-notch player. He’s a bit of a risk with his spinal condition, but if he pans out, he might be the steal of the draft.13) New York Jets (6-10, from Tampa Bay (7-9)): Kenny Vaccaro, S, TexasXavier Rhodes, who I had at #13 before the Darrelle Revis trade, could also be in the mix here. However, the Jets have Dawan Landry and not much else at the safety spot, and they're reportedly very interested in a few second-round caliber corners. Vaccaro will start immediately in New York, and he provides intelligence and sound fundamentals.14) Carolina Panthers (7-9): Sheldon Richardson, DT, MissouriThere are people saying Richardson could go even earlier than this. He certainly has the athletic ability to, and this is probably as low as he’ll go. Carolina’s defensive line is porous, and the Panthers gave up several big games to opposing running backs in the 2012-13 season.15) New Orleans Saints (7-9): Barkevious Mingo, DE/OLB, LSURob Ryan's aggressive 3-4 attack needs pass-rushing linebackers to be successful, and that’s exactly what Mingo is. The Saints defense was absolutely awful in 2012, and there are needs to fill all around it.16) St. Louis Rams (7-8-1): Jonathan Cooper, OG/C, North CarolinaEven with the signing of Jake Long, the Rams’ offensive line needs an upgrade. Cooper is versatile and can play three different positions. D.J. Fluker may make sense here if Rodger Saffold is traded, but he’s still on the team, so for now, Cooper is the guy.17) Pittsburgh Steelers (8-8): Cordarelle Patterson, WR, TennesseePatterson’s stock has slipped a bit over some character concerns, but he’s an excellent fit in Pittsburgh. The Steelers lost Mike Wallace to Miami in the offseason, so more depth is needed at receiver. Patterson is raw, but has tremendous athleticism and sky-high potential if he’s kept in line.18) Dallas Cowboys (8-8): Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida StateDallas is moving to a 4-3 defense, and Werner fits the mold of a 4-3 end pretty well. His stock has fallen a bit recently, but he's a safe, low-risk pick who fills a need. He's been a top-10 pick in previous mocks, so this could wind up being an excellent value for the Cowboys.19) New York Giants (9-7): Alec Ogletree, LB, GeorgiaThe Giants may be searching for a defensive end, and could have jumped on Mingo if he was available (or selected Alex Okafor or Tank Carradine with this pick). In this mock, though, they’ll zero in on Ogletree, probably the top inside linebacker prospect in the draft. There are some character issues here, most notably his pre-Combine arrest, but the Giants released Michael Boley and have depth issues at that position.20) Chicago Bears (10-6): D.J. Fluker, OT/OG, AlabamaI’m not as high on Fluker as others are. He’s not going to be a left tackle, and yet some have him off the board in the early-teens. However, Chicago’s offensive line does need help, and new head coach Marc Trestman will undoubtedly want to protect Jay Cutler.21) Cincinnati Bengals (10-6): Xavier Rhodes, CB/S, Florida StateRhodes slipped a bit in this mock, but that's due to bad luck, as he'd have been an excellent fit for Tampa Bay at #13 before the Revis deal. Cincinnati's pass defense isn't bad, but they also weren't all that great a year ago, and you can never have too many quality defensive backs, especially in the current pass-happy era of football.22) St. Louis Rams (7-8-1, from Washington (10-6)): Justin Hunter, WR, TennesseeI considered mocking Cordarelle Patterson to St. Louis at #16, but offensive line was just too big a need and Cooper was just too strong a fit to pass up. Here, they don’t get Patterson, but they do get a guy who had a great Combine. Hunter ran a great 40 time there, and he gives an offense that’s in dire need of downfield threats a burner who can outrun corners on deep routes.23) Minnesota Vikings (10-6): Manti Te’o, LB, Notre DameOn the surface, this may seem like a puzzling pick. However, the Vikings have a huge need at linebacker, as their only proven starter there is Chad Greenway, and the team as a whole struggled against the pass last season, an area Te'o can instantly improve. Te'o suffered at the Combine, but Adam Schefter reported that he would not drop out of the first round, and he did improve his 40 time at Notre Dame's pro day.24) Indianapolis Colts (11-5): Sylvester Williams, DT, North CarolinaI’ve had Johnathan Hankins here for a while, but concerns about his weight and work ethic mean he likely falls out of the first round. Williams has been a late riser, and plays the run and the pass as well as any front seven player left in the draft.25) Minnesota Vikings (10-6, from Seattle (11-5)):Jesse Williams, DT, AlabamaChristian Ponder has to be banging his head against a wall. DeAndre Hopkins makes total sense here, but the fiasco with his hotel room at the Combine likely means a drop into the second round. However, Williams fills a big need at defensive tackle for the Vikings. He takes up a ton of space on the line and would earn a starting spot immediately.26) Green Bay Packers (11-5): Jon Cyprien, S, Florida InternationalI think this pick might be a reach, but many draft experts have Cyprien sneaking into the first round, and he certainly fills a need in Green Bay. The Packers wanted Michael Huff, but saw him sign with the Ravens. Here, they get their replacement for Charles Woodson.27) Houston Texans (12-4): Datone Jones, DE/DT, UCLAI’ve had Houston taking a defensive tackle with this pick for a while, and there’s no reason to change that here. Jones is a versatile player who’s received some first-round buzz, and here, he breaks through to a team that could use some help alongside J.J. Watt on the defensive line.28) Denver Broncos (13-3): Tank Carradine, DE, Florida StateI still think Alex Okafor would be a really nice fit here, but Carradine's stock is up to where I'd find it hard to believe he's not a first-round pick. He fits a need coming off the edge for Denver, and would ideally fill the shoes of the departed Elvis Dumervil.29) New England Patriots (12-4): Desmond Trufant, CB, WashingtonTrufant could go much earlier than this; he was mocked to Cincinnati at #21 in my most recent mock. New England needs help in their secondary. Aqib Talib was a great acquisition, but there isn't much in their back seven besides him. Trufant's turned heads with performances at the Senior Bowl and the Combine.30) Atlanta Falcons (13-3): Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre DameTony Gonzalez is not retiring despite doing his annual tap-dance around the subject. Still, he's not getting younger, and Tyler Eifert is easily the top tight end in the draft. He could easily go much earlier than this, and I think this is as late as he goes.31) San Francisco 49ers (11-4-1): Alex Okafor, DE/OLB, TexasThe Niners may have a need behind Justin Smith, who turns 34 and is going into the final year of his contract. Okafor is a low-risk player who doesn't take plays off. He's excellent at getting into the backfield, and he's a guy that can excel in the right system.32) Baltimore Ravens (10-6): Kevin Minter, LB, LSUMinter is an old-school, run-stopping inside linebacker that may have trouble fitting into some new-age defensive schemes. However, an old-school, run-stopping inside linebacker just retired from Baltimore’s Super Bowl-winning team, so Minter would be a pretty nice fit for the Ravens.SECOND ROUND33) Jacksonville Jaguars: Matt Barkley, QB, USCAnyone who still thinks Blaine Gabbert can be an effective starting quarterback needs to have their head examined. The Jags need to address that position in the draft, and if Matt Barkley is still on the board in the second round, this is a no-brainer.34) San Francisco 49ers (from Kansas City): Margus Hunt, DE/DT, SMUThis is a luxury pick for the Niners, who can pretty much take the best player available at this juncture. In this case, Hunt is in the mix, and he may also fill a need on the defensive line if new signee Glenn Dorsey doesn't fill the shoes of the departed Isaac Sopuaga at defensive tackle.35) Philadelphia Eagles: E.J. Manuel, QB, Florida StateThe reason the Eagles may not pull the trigger for Geno Smith? Well, E.J. Manuel could be an even better fit for Chip Kelly's offense. His stock has gone up, and I have a hard time imagining his name not being called in the second round. I had him going to Minnesota before the Vikings signed Matt Cassel as a back-up, but he launches back into the second round here, and in a big way.36) Detroit Lions: Menelik Watson, OT, Florida StateIf you're keeping track at home, this is FSU's fifth player drafted in the first 36 picks, and they may wind up with one or two more before the second round ends. Now THAT'S impressive. Anyway, Watson's stock continues to rise, and Detroit absolutely has holes to fill on the offensive line after Jeff Backus's retirement and Gosder Cherilus's departure during free agency.37) Cincinnati Bengals: Giovani Bernard, RB, North CarolinaEddie Lacy’s stock is on the decline after a subpar pro day, and that’s great news for Bernard. He’s a guy that can split time with BenJarvus Green-Ellis right away while also contributing as a return man, and I think he’s got the potential to be a very useful back at the next level.38) Arizona Cardinals: Kyle Long, OT/OG, OregonTwo picks, two linemen for Arizona, a team that desperately needs help in the trenches. The Cardinals went through several quarterbacks last year and protected none of them. Here, though, Long can fill plenty of holes up front next to fellow rookie Lane Johnson.39) New York Jets: D.J. Hayden, CB, HoustonIt's been reported that Rex Ryan likes Hayden very much. In fact, he was the only head coach in attendance at his pro day. With the departure of Darrelle Revis, the Jets need at least one corner, and here, they get one.40) Tennessee Titans: Jamar Taylor, CB, Boise StateTennessee’s defense was extremely weak last year, and they’ve spent time this offseason trying to upgrade it. They got several newcomers at safety, but are still in need of talented corners. Taylor fits that mold.41) Buffalo Bills: Arthur Brown, LB, Kansas StateBrown would be a first-round pick if not for injury troubles that probably relegate him to the second round. Still, the Bills have needed a presence at inside linebacker since they let Paul Posluszny walk several years ago, and Brown can be that kind of player.42) Miami Dolphins: Robert Alford, CB, Southeastern LouisianaAlford will rise on draft day due to the immense speed he showed at the Combine. The Dolphins still have a need in their defensive backfield despite signing Brent Grimes, and they can address it with one of their two second-round picks.43) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Damontre Moore, DE/OLB, Texas A&MTampa Bay’s front seven is dealing with a ton of injury woes and question marks heading into the 2013 season. Moore is a risk; he was once a top-five pick, but a ton of character issues and a horrible Combine performance means he’s available here. If he pans out, though, this could be a fantastic pick for the Bucs.44) Carolina Panthers: Larry Warford, OG, KentuckyWhile some of Carolina’s non-Cam Newton rushing woes were injury-related, it’s also true that the team’s offensive line has struggled at times. Warford is the best lineman available, especially after a very solid performance at the Senior Bowl.45) San Diego Chargers: Dallas Thomas, OT/OG, TennesseePhilip Rivers had a bad year in 2012, and part of that was because the Chargers couldn’t protect him. They have plenty of needs on their offensive line, and in Thomas, they get a versatile player who can be plugged in at several spots up front.46) St. Louis Rams: Robert Woods, WR, USCThe Rams really DO need bodies at wide receiver. They lost a lot this offseason, but again, they get a chance to rebuild with a draft deep in talent at that position. Woods was once thought of as the best wideout in this class, but he took a backseat to Marquis Lee this past season. Still, he could be a very capable starter.47) Dallas Cowboys: Kawann Short, DT, PurdueShort is a great fit for Monte Kiffin's 4-3 defense. He's not the biggest guy, but he can rush the passer from the defensive tackle spot and provide a legitimate presence in the front seven. I had him going in the first round for a while, but this is a great spot for him to shine.48) Pittsburgh Steelers: Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi StateThe Steelers seem to catch a falling prospect every year. Here, you can argue they did it twice in two rounds. Banks didn't have a great showing at the Combine, but he has a ton of game tape that is really solid. Pittsburgh's secondary isn't getting any younger, and if he doesn't have the speed to play corner at the NFL level, maybe he can move to safety and learn from Troy Polamalu.49) New York Giants: Khaseem Greene, DE/OLB, RutgersThe Giants love drafting pass-rushers, and they've got a need there now with Osi Umenyiora's defection to Atlanta. Greene has been rising quickly, and plays both the run and the pass very well.50) Chicago Bears: DeAndre Hopkins, WR, ClemsonJay Cutler needs weapons opposite Brandon Marshall. Hopkins has the skills to be a first-round pick, but he torched that draft status when he supposedly trashed his hotel room at the Combine. Still, this is a value pick that new head coach Marc Trestman shouldn't pass up.51) Washington Redskins: Blidi Wreh-Wilson, CB, ConnecticutWashington is sorely lacking in their back seven, and because of it, Wreh-Wilson will have every opportunity to play from day one.52) Minnesota Vikings: Keenan Allen, WR, CalChristian Ponder finally gets a secondary receiving option to work with here, and I think it could be one of the steals of the draft. I had Allen originally being taken by the Vikings in the first round, but character concerns caused a big slide. Still, he's an excellent value, and here, he gets to go somewhere where he should play right away.53) Cincinnati Bengals: Corey Lemonier, DE/OLB, AuburnThis may be a bit of a reach, but Cincinnati has questions about their depth at linebacker. Here, they get someone who can rotate between the line and the outside linebacker spot. Lemonier is a bit raw from a technical standpoint, but he had a great Combine that included a 4.6 40 time.54) Miami Dolphins: Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio StateThis pick may wind up going to Kansas City if Branden Albert gets moved, but for now, Miami still has it. I had Hankins near the back end of the first round for a while, but concerns about his weight and work ethic caused a drop. However, he fits in Miami, as several defensive linemen have contracts that will expire after this upcoming season.55) Green Bay Packers: John Jenkins, DT, GeorgiaI had Jenkins in my second round earlier this year, but he fell out due to others ascending draft boards. However, he'd be a pretty nice fit in Green Bay next to B.J. Raji on the defensive line. He's a massive presence, and a reasonable value at the back end of the second round.56) Seattle Seahawks: Sam Montgomery, DE, LSUA huge, huge fall continues for Montgomery, but Pete Carroll hasn't shied away from taking players with character issues. If he coaches Montgomery up and gets all his talent out of him, this may wind up being the steal of the draft.57) Houston Texans: Quinton Patton, WR, Louisiana TechHouston has long been searching for a #2 receiver behind Andre Johnson. Patton didn’t play against great competition at Louisiana Tech, but made the most of his opportunities at both the Senior Bowl and the Combine.58) Denver Broncos: Eric Reid, S, LSUReid slipped in this mock through no fault of his own, and he may be a welcome addition in Denver. Their secondary was awful against Joe Flacco, and 37-year-old Champ Bailey may finally be showing his age.59) New England Patriots: Terrance Williams, WR, BaylorThe Patriots lost Wes Welker and Brandon Lloyd, and may not have either part of their two-headed monster at tight end at 100% for the early part of the season. Because of that, they need to address the wide receiver position with this pick. Williams had a huge senior season at Baylor, and I truly believe he's a sleeper prospect who could be an NFL-ready wideout.60) Atlanta Falcons: Brandon Jenkins, DE, Florida StateAtlanta signed Osi Umenyiora, but that doesn't mean the Falcons are done upgrading their front seven. They had huge depth issues at defensive end last year even during their stellar season. Jenkins has some injury concerns, but at his best, he's an impact player.61) San Francisco 49ers: D.J. Swearinger, S, South CarolinaSan Francisco’s front seven is fantastic, but their group of safeties is a question mark, especially after the defection of DaShon Goldson. Swearinger, a captain for the Gamecocks and a physical presence, hits hard and covers well, so he should be an instant upgrade.62) Baltimore Ravens: David Amerson, CB/S, N.C. StateBaltimore's secondary is a huge question mark. Lardarius Webb suffered a bad season-ending injury, and Ed Reed signed with Houston. Amerson adds versatility to a group that could have plenty of needs when it tries to defend its Super Bowl title.THIRD ROUND63) Kansas City Chiefs: Terron Armstead, OT, Arkansas-Pine BluffAndy Reid loves drafting offensive linemen, and he's preparing for another such draft by releasing Eric Winston and shopping Branden Albert. Armstead turned heads at the Combine, and is probably locked in as a day-two selection.64) Jacksonville Jaguars: Barrett Jones, OG/C/OT, AlabamaI wish I could have mocked Jones higher, but him not being a true offensive tackle hurts. That said, Jacksonville has needs both on the offensive line and in terms of leadership. Jones can fill plenty of those.65) Detroit Lions: Justin Pugh, OT/OG, SyracuseI'm not as impressed with Pugh as some others are. There are a few mockers out there who have him as a possible first-round pick. That said, as mentioned earlier, Detroit has holes to full up front, and Pugh can help do that.66) Oakland Raiders: Ryan Nassib, QB, SyracuseThis is an appropriate spot for Nassib. I don't get the hype surrounding him, as he quarterbacked a slightly above-average college team to an 8-5 season against a so-so schedule. However, Oakland desperately needs help under center after trading Carson Palmer, so this could work.67) Philadelphia Eagles: Darius Slay, CB, Mississippi StateThe Eagles let Nnamdi Asomugha walk, but corner was a need even before that decision (I had them taking Milliner fourth overall for several mocks). Here, they get a little bit of a steal, as some see Slay as a second-round pick.68) Cleveland Browns: Stedman Bailey, WR, West VirginiaThe Browns let Josh Cribbs go, and they need a wideout opposite Josh Gordon. Gordon played very well in spots last year, but he can't carry an offense. Bailey quietly posted great numbers at WVU, and he should earn immediate playing time in Cleveland.69) Arizona Cardinals: Zach Ertz, TE, StanfordBruce Arians likes to utilize multiple tight ends, and Ertz has been one of the best players available since midway through the second round. Here, he can help take some attention away from Larry Fitzgerald, provide another option in the passing game, and provide blocking assistance to an offensive line that desperately needs it. Bottom line: Ertz is a STEAL at this point.70) Tennessee Titans: Jamie Collins, DE/OLB, Southern MississippiTennessee will likely draft a ton of defensive players this year, and I think that continues here. Collins is one of the best players available, and he can play in several spots on Tennessee's mediocre front seven.71) Buffalo Bills: Markus Wheaton, WR, Oregon StateBuffalo needs a #2 wide receiver to take attention away from Stevie Johnson. Wheaton has risen up draft boards as of late, and if he's available at this point, Buffalo would do very well to grab him.72) New York Jets: Eddie Lacy, RB, AlabamaWhen the Jets were successful under Rex Ryan, their identity was as a power-running team. They currently don't have a starting running back, as Shonn Greene left for Tennessee. Lacy gives them a downhill runner with solid instincts, something they don't have right now.73) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Dwayne Gratz, CB, UConnDarrelle Revis is obviously a huge help, but depth is still an issue in the secondary. Ronde Barber isn't getting any younger, and there are some injury questions about Revis dating back to last year.74) San Francisco 49ers: Montee Ball, RB, WisconsinAs most of San Francisco's picks will be, this is a luxury, best-player-available pick. Frank Gore turns 30 next month and already has a lot of mileage on him. Kendall Hunter hasn't been bad, but adding another high-quality back couldn't hurt (and may be trade bait for a team that is in more need of depth at that position).75) New Orleans Saints: Tyrann Mathieu, CB/S, LSUThe ultimate high-risk, high-reward pick in this draft, but the Saints are desperate for defensive help. Again, their defense last year was among the worst in NFL history in terms of points allowed, so they need help pretty much everywhere. Mathieu, while undersized, is a ball hawk who can also contribute on special teams.76) San Diego Chargers: Sio Moore, DE/OLB, UConnShaun Phillips left, creating a hole coming off the edge. Moore was a three-year starter for the Huskies, and while he doesn't have sky-high potential, he's a safe pick that should become a dependable NFL starter.77) Miami Dolphins: Brian Winters, OG, Kent StateWinters is one of the better players available, and he can compete for time right away on Miami's retooled offensive line. There are reportedly concerns about right guard John Jerry's fit in the Dolphins offensive scheme.78) St. Louis Rams: Phillip Thomas, S, Fresno StateThe Rams have a huge weakness at safety, but get to fill it in a big way. There are lots of players with second-round talent that have slipped through the cracks in this mock, and Phillips is one of those guys.79) Pittsburgh Steelers: Travis Kelce, TE, CincinnatiHeath Miller isn't getting younger, and he missed part of 2012 with an injury. He turns 31 this October, and it may be time to start grooming a replacement.80) Dallas Cowboys: Shamarko Thomas, S, SyracuseDallas has a big need at safety. I had them drafting Kenny Vaccaro in the first round of my last mock. He was gone before the #18 pick, but Thomas is a nice value at this point who should be able to compete for playing time right away.81) New York Giants: Kiko Alonzo, LB, OregonDepth at linebacker is a big issue for the Giants, as I mentioned when they took Alec Ogletree in the first round. The Giants usually take guys who fall, and through no fault of his own, that's what happened to Alonzo.82) Miami Dolphins: Marquise Goodwin, WR, TexasGoodwin had a huge Combine, running a 4.21 40-yard dash. His pro day was also impressive, as he recorded a 42-inch vertical leap. Mike Wallace was a valuable addition to the team, but this gives Miami another deep threat to work with.83) Minnesota Vikings: Travis Frederick, OG/C, WisconsinDepth on the offensive line is always a plus, and Minnesota may be looking to upgrade at guard. Frederick is also the consensus top center in this year's draft class.84) Cincinnati Bengals: Logan Ryan, CB, RutgersYou can never have too many talented corners. Ryan could have gone a couple of times earlier in the third round, and here, he could compete for time in the nickel packages.85) Washington Redskins: William Gholston, DE, Michigan StateThis is more of an insurance pick than anything else. Brian Orakpo and Adam Carriker both missed a ton of time last season due to season-ending injuries, and depth behind them can't be a bad thing.86) Indianapolis Colts: Johnathan Franklin, RB, UCLADonald Brown hasn't amounted to much, and Vick Ballard, while an OK complementary back, isn't anything to write home about, either. Adding another back to the mix couldn't hurt, and some believe Franklin is one of the top two or three backs in a fairly-deep class.87) Seattle Seahawks: Da'Rick Rogers, WR, Tennessee TechPercy Harvin should be a huge help to a receiving corps that didn't have a big-play threat last year. However, more depth is probably needed, and Rogers has flashed tremendous talent.88) Green Bay Packers: David Bakhtari, OT/OG, ColoradoGreen Bay had some issues up front last year, and those won't get any easier with the retirement of Jeff Saturday. Bakhtari is versatile, though, and should be able to help out.89) Houston Texans: Jon Bostic, OLB, FloridaSome help is needed at outside linebacker after Connor Barwin went to Philadelphia in free agency. Bostic is very good against the run and ran a sub-4.6 40 at the Combine.90) Denver Broncos: Le'Veon Bell, RB, Michigan StateI'm not as much of a fan of Bell as others are. He doesn't have a lot of lateral quickness, and in the wrong role, he won't be an effective back. However, this is a good fit. Knowshon Moreno probably deserves a go at the full-time starting spot, but while Ronnie Hillman has speed, Bell can step in in short-yardage situations. He's also not a bad receiver, which could mean more playing time.91) New England Patriots: Bennie Logan, DT, LSUThe Patriots have a hole at defensive tackle next to Vince Wilfork, who isn't getting any younger. I had Logan in the second round of some earlier mock drafts. He slips a little due to his underwhelming size, but he's still got the skills to be a solid NFL player.92) Atlanta Falcons: Chase Thomas, OLB, StanfordThomas didn't get rave reviews because he's not a freak athlete. However, he's a high-character guy with a great motor, and Atlanta needs to improve its depth at outside linebacker.93) San Francisco 49ers: Tyler Wilson, QB, ArkansasSan Francisco acquired Colt McCoy from the Browns, but may be looking for their own young quarterback to develop behind Colin Kaepernick. None of the remaining QB's are particularly mobile, but Wilson showed solid arm strength and the ability to extend plays, and he's probably the best fit for the 49ers.94) Baltimore Ravens: Aaron Dobson, WR, MarshallAnquan Boldin left, meaning the Ravens need a big target to use as a possession receiver. Dobson is 6'3” and certainly fits that mold, and his stock has been rising of late. He's run several 40 times in the low-4.4 range, and may have earned a call on day two.95) Houston Texans: Gavin Escobar, TE, San Diego StateJames Casey left for Philadelphia, and the Texans, who love using multiple tight ends, will likely be looking for another one in the middle rounds of the draft. The best one left is Escobar, a 6'6”, 250-pounder who runs well for his size.96) Kansas City Chiefs: A.J. Klein, LB, Iowa StateKansas City has needed help at inside linebacker since the unthinkable tragedy involving Jovan Belcher happened late last season. Here, they fill a hole with a low-risk, sound-tackling player who can occasionally drop back into zone coverage and defend the pass.97) Tennessee Titans: Montori Hughes, DT, Tennessee-MartinTennessee has lacked a presence inside since the days of Albert Haynesworth. Hughes goes 6'4” and 330 pounds, and can rush the passer from an interior position as well.

The Diary of Ensign Holt ~ Ghosts on Deck

Previously ~ My CaptainJudy Reyes asLt. Ana Vasquez"Afternoon, Ensign," Lt. Vasquez greeted Alice as she walked through the doors of the Science Lab.  "We're approaching a nebula which is home to at least three planetoids; our ETA is 1642 hours.  The Captain's given approval to collect samples via transporter."Ever since the reality of their situation had sunken in, temporary officers like Alice found themselves taking over officers who killed during the anomaly which brought the ship into the Delta Quadrant.  For example, she hadn't initially been assigned to do any work in Voyager's Science Lab, but after the death of Ensign Walsh, she'd rather seamlessly assumed the role.And despite herself, her heart rate increased when Vasquez mentioned "nebula" and "planetoids."  No offense to the dead officer who previously held this position, but this was a sweet gig.  In many ways, it was exactly the sort of job Alice was hoping to have aboard the Equinox. Alice Holt"What class are they?" Alice asked.  She was a sucker for nebulae and she was particularly obsessed with ones that had planetoids.  She often wondered what it be like to live on a dark planet, shrouded from the sun, seeing only moving swathes of color in the sky."Preliminary scans show they're Class J planetoids," Vasquez replied, leaning over her microscope, no doubting examining some rare, space-borne bacteria.  "No life signs of any sort, which is to be expected since there aren't any suns, no water, no breathable atmosphere...but the nebula itself is very beautiful, very colorful, and filled with viable omicron particles.  You game?"Alice grinned.  I love being a nerd.******After her shift ended at 1900 hours, Alice walked down the corridor to her quarters.  She had to admit she really liked these Intrepid-class starships; they weren't as spacious or luxurious as the Galaxy- and Constitution-class ships, but they were still very comfortable.  The rooms were colored in the moderate shades of blue and gray, standard issue.  Instead of being moody, the colors projected a sort of military elegance, making Alice finally feel like a grown-up.Voyager crew quarters with furnitureBut still...whenever she walked into her quarters there was this subtle chill, this eerie quiet which greeted and rattled her every time.  She had shared this place with someone.  Granted, all of her deceased roommate's things were removed and put in storage, including her bed, and now there was this...emptiness which Alice felt compelled to fill and soon.Voyager crew quarters without furnitureYes...I'm a nerd.  That's the whole point.No offense to the dead, but she need to move on, and she couldn't do so feeling obligated to respect the space of someone who was no longer there.Plum-colored curtains.  Silver gray rugs.  An blue runner for the table.  Some replicated glass art.  Anything to make the room hers and wholly hers.Until - God forbid - the Captain assigned someone to her room again.The door beeped, jolting Alice from her thoughts."Come in," she called.Harry KimTo her surprise, Ensign Harry Kim walked in, holding an elegant glass vase.  It's shape was that of a twisting rectangle which wasn't really Alice's style, but it was somewhat sophisticated and very..."Starfleet."It was just the sort of thing a full-fledged officer would have in her quarters."House-warming present," he explained with a slightly shy, awkward look.  "When I was at the Academy, I lost a roommate to a training exercise.  Our room never felt the same again.""Thank you," Alice smiled, accepting the vase and placing it squarely in the middle of her tiny dining table."My shift ended thirty minutes ago," Harry began tentatively.  "Tom and I were going to play pool in Holodeck One.  You game?"He really was a handsome man.  He had such smooth skin, emotive eyes, and soft-looking lips.  In another time and place, she'd gladly have gone wherever he invited.The infamous vaseBut Harry Kim was what Alice intuitively knew to be an Untouchable.  Contrary to Janeway's insinuation, Kim wasn't like other "fresh out" Ensigns.  He was wasn't scraping plasma manifolds below deck somewhere, or studying lab samples.  Upon graduation, he'd been assigned as a bridge officer, with his own quarters and a fairly high level of authority.  The fact that the Captain knew him by name signified she'd already developed an attachment to him, and though he didn't realize, he'd soon have her ear.So if anything were to go wrong - and Alice already knew it would - it would adversely impact her career and she couldn't have that."Actually," she replied casually, though her mind was whirling for just the right excuse, "I was going to head over to Holodeck Two to try out one of those flight tutorials you mentioned.  I'm really looking forward to trying my hand at piloting," Alice added, even though she had very little interest in piloting.He smiled kindly enough, but she could see the subtle disappointment in his eyes."I'll leave it you to then.  But if you change your mind, you know where to find me."***"Computer, is Holodeck Two in use?""Negative.""Show me the list flight tutorials, Level 1."There were dozens, which she hadn't expected.  Each one had a different instructor and was located in a different star system, some in the Gamma Quadrant, some in the Beta Quadrant, most in the Alpha Quadrant."Computer, describe the Olois System.""Trinary star system.  Eight planets.  Seventeen moons.""And the Antreka System?""Unary star system.  Six planets.  Ten moons.""What about Sigma Eridon?""Binary star system.  Four planets, three moons.  The Assynian Nebula.""And we have a winner," Alice nodded.  "Computer, designate this program as my own, Ensign authorization Alice-Theta-7.  Title: Holt Simulation Level 1.""Acknowledged.""Begin."The gray metallic doors opened, and Alice stepped onto the tiny bridge of a Class 2 shuttle.Next ~ Dimaya

Not buying the Eifert-Steelers connection

I keep seeing mock drafts in the past couple of weeks that link the Steelers to Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert in the first round.Sorry, I'm not buying it.People are seeing that Heath Miller has a torn ACL and automatically thinking the team needs a replacement. That won't be the case.The Steelers signed Matt Spaeth and re-signed David Johnson in free agency to help hold the fort until Miller returns to the lineup.And while Miller's contract will soon be up, I don't expect the Steelers to part ways with one of their team leaders. They'll find a way to get one of the most respected men in their locker room back under contract.Eifert, in my opinion, would be a wasted pick by this team, a luxury item.And spare me the comparisons between the Steelers and Patriots. Yes, New England has had success using two tight end sets, but neither of their two tight ends were first round picks.I like Eifert as a player. But for the Steelers, it would be a poor pick.

Worst of the Night: Playoff Edition

The Boston Celtics: For a half, the Celtics looked like they just might steal Game 2 in New York. They shot 50 percent (8-for-16) in the first quarter and 61 percent (11-for-18) in the second. And during that second quarter, they limited the Knicks to 4-for-17 shooting and led by as many as nine points (48-39). It honest-to-goodness looked like coach Doc Rivers had made all the defensive and offensive adjustments necessary for his team to win.Then the second half happened.The Celtics seemingly forgot everything they'd ever learned about running an offense. Seriously, I haven't seen somebody have that much trouble scoring since my freshman year in college. In the third quarter, Boston went 4-for-18 from the field (including 0-for-3 from beyond the arc) and got outscored 32-11. The Celtics did manage to limit the Knicks to 13 points on 6-for-22 shooting in the fourth quarter...but they scored only 12 points on 3-for-18 shooting themselves.So for those of you who enjoy simple math, Boston scored only 23 points on 7-for-36 shooting over the final two quarters. That's bad even by this site's standards.Said Rivers: "I thought we attacked them in the first half, but they hung in there. They didn't let us throw a knockout punch and I thought in the second half they turned that on us and they threw a knockout punch. Several."No arguments here.According to ESPN Stats and Information, Boston's 19.4 percent second-half shooting was their worst shooting percentage in any postseason half since 1996-97. Which is weird since the Celtics didn't even make the playoffs that season. Or the season before. Or the season after. I'm guessing they were referring to the first half of Boston's 124-77 loss to the Orlando Magic in 1995...when the Green Machine rolled out a starting lineup of Dee Brown, Sherman Douglas, Eric Montross, Derek Strong and an over-the-hill Dominique Wilkins. Still, the point is, the Celtics had a historically bawful shooting half last night.ESPN Stats and Information went on to note that Boston scored only 24 points in the paint, which is tied for their lowest in-the-paint output this season and a full 14 points below their season average for points in the paint. That's largely because the Knicks were both playing aggressive halfcourt defense and getting the benefit of some home cookin'. For example, there was one sequence that happened with about five minutes to go in the third when Paul Pierce got mugged at the rim with no call -- he even had his headband knocked off during the play -- followed by J.R. Smith earning two foul shots off a minor bump by Jeff Green.It was just that kind of night. I'm not going to even run through the play-by-play. The bottom line is that, during the second half, the Celtics were roughed up in the paint and intimidated into taking a lot of contested long-range jump shots. Pierce looked frustrated most of the night. Kevin Garnett battled foul trouble and looked about twice as frustrated as Pierce. Jeff Green (3-for-11) apparently left his shooting touch back in the first half of Game 1. And Courtney Lee played only four minutes off the bench during a game in which the Celtics desperately needed some scoring, any scoring, from anybody.Of course, that might be because of Lee's "assist" to Kenyon Martin in Game 1, but still.Anyway, the Celtics are now a combined 14-for-63 (22 percent) in the second halves of Games 1 and 2. That wouldn't get it done against the Charlotte Bobcats, let alone the Knicks.That said, KG did make a solid point after the game: "They haven't scored 90 points yet, and when you're playing a team like this, that's a good sign. We just have to figure out the offensive side of the ball, and not be so stagnated. Figure out ways to score more off opportunities, be aggressive, take advantage of mismatches."Sounds great. Maybe in Game 3 we'll see if they can actually do it.By the way, even though it happened before things went sour for the Celtics, this disastrous 12-second sequence pretty much defined the game: The Milwaukee Bucks: Apparently, the fulfillment of Brandon Jennings' "Bucks in 6" prediction won't officially start until Game 3. Hey, Milwaukee could still win four in a row, right? Right? Anyone? Bueller?Okay, look, we all know how this is going to end. The Bucks are dead men walking. They played reasonably well in Game 2 -- 50 percent shooting, 14 fast break points, 40 points in the paint, 23 points off turnovers -- and still lost by double digits. The Heat were basically sleepwalking for three quarters, then turned it on for about two minutes and won going away.By the way, that "two minutes" comment wasn't even a joke. Miami reeled off a 12-0 from in exactly two minute to start the fourth quarter to turn a 68-65 lead into an 80-65 laugher. Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade weren't even in the game...and 10 of those 12 points were scored by Chris Andersen and Norris Cole.Naturally, though, Miami's three quarters worth of relative apathy and indifference has actually given the Bucks hope. I'm not kidding.Said Larry Sanders: "It's a series. We made progress this game."Added Milwaukee coach Jim Boylan: "We felt pretty good about the position we were in, giving ourselves an opportunity on the road with 12 minutes to go. You feel good about that."And then there was Jennings: "We showed a lot of improvement tonight. Aside of making that run in the fourth, I think we should have won this game."Aside from that run...and Jennings' misguided shooting. Nostradamus Jr. scored only 8 points on 3-for-15 shooting and missed all seven of his three-point attempts. And the Bucks were outscored by 15 points when he was on the floor. And Brandon's backcourt mate, Monta Ellis, went 2-for-7, missed all three of his three-pointers, and committed 4 turnovers.So to sum up, Milwaukee's best two players combined for 15 points on 5-for-22 shooting and 6 turnovers in 75 minutes of playing time. And a composite plus-minus of -20. Oh, and that 15 combined points is about 22 below their season average.But maybe that's why the Bucks are feeling good about themselves. I mean, if those guys play even a little better, they have a decent chance of beating Miami at home. Right? Anyone? Bueller?No, not really. The Bucks are condemned men, and we're watching them walk the NBA equivalent of the green mile. But at least Jennings gave us something to make fun of during the sweep. That's about the only thing worth keeping track of in this series.Well, except this, maybe: According to ESPN Stats and Information, Miami has gone 44-for-57 (77.2 percent) inside five feet so far in this series. That's a full 10 percentage points higher than their FG% within five feet during the regular season...which led the league. So, yeah, give a hearty golf clap to Milwaukee's interior defense.The Denver Nuggets: This game made me irrationally happy. Why? Because the 2012-13 Denver Nuggets were obviously channeling the collective spirit of the 1990-91 Denver Nuggets. Also known as (around these parts) as The Worst Defensive Team of All Time.Yes, this game truly harkened back to those halcyon days, when Lawler's Law -- which states the first team to 100 points will win -- was about the best barometer for determining which team would win or lose a particular game. Speaking of which, did you know the 1990-91 Denver Nuggets held opponents below 100 points exactly zero times in 82 games? Or that they had more games in which teams scored between 150-159 points against them (6) than games in which they held a team below 110 points (4)? That team was so bad at defense that they averaged 119.9 points per game and still lost by an average of almost 11 points!And yet even that group of defenseless misfits must have been shaking their heads in shock and embarrassment at the _efensive _isplay the current Nuggets put on last night.Where to begin?The Warriors had four players score 20 points or more, including Stephen Curry (30 points, 13-for-23), 13 assists), Jarrett Jack (26 points, 10-for-15, 7 assists), rookie Harrison Barnes (24 points, 9-for-14, 6 rebounds) and Klay Thompson (21 points, 8-for-11, 5-for-6 from beyond the arc).Golden State's scoring by quarters went: 26 points on 11-for-19 shooting (57.9 percent), 35 points on 14-for-22 shooting (63.6 percent), 35 points on 13-for-19 shooting (68.4 percent) and 35 points on 13-for-19 shooting again.As Nuggets coach George Karl said: "I don't think I've ever coached a game when a team got three 35-point quarters, maybe in my career. Ever."Oh it gets better. Or worse if you're a Nuggets fan. According to ESPN Stats and Information, the Warriors shot 64.6 percent for the game, which is the highest FG% in a playoff game since the Utah Jazz shot 65.1 percent in a 129-90 win over the Phoenix Suns in 1991. And Golden State's 131 points were the most in a regulation playoff game since the Celtics scored 131 against the Lakers in Game 6 of the 2008 NBA Finals.And did I mention the Warriors were 14-for-25 (56 percent). Or that the Nuggets got outrebounded by 10 and bricked 11 free throws? Or that Denver allowed Golden State to score at a rate of 131.2 points per 100 possessions and rebound almost a quarter of their (very few) missed shots?Said Karl: "We didn't do much of anything very well."Mind you, according to Ty Lawson, the game plan was "to keep the ball out of Stephen Curry's hands." So of course Curry had 30 points on 23 shots plus 13 assists. Oh, and Curry had three steal, meaning the Nuggets couldn't keep the ball out of Curry's hands even when they were on offense.According to ESPN Stats and Information, Curry was 12-for-19 on shots 15 feet or more from the bucket, and 28 of his 30 points were scored from long range. So, uh, Nuggets...anybody got a hand to go with this face?By the way, as the AP game recap noted, Curry had Golden State's first 30-10 game since Sleepy Floyd obliterated the Lakers with 51 points, 10 assists and 4 steals back in Game 4 of the 1987 Western Conference Semifinals (which Bill Simmons immortalized in writing at The Sleepy Floyd Game).That's right: This game let me reminisce about both the 1990-91 Denver Nuggets and a classic humiliation of the Lakers. Good times.
