2013 NFL Mock Draft

Round 1 (part 2) of 2

0 Reader Comments | Add Yours

17. PIT: Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame
Tight end is an issue for Pittsburgh, even though it is not the team's biggest area of need. Eifert may be the best player left on the board and the Steelers will go with him if they don't love any remaining defensive ends.
18. DAL: Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina
Cooper enjoyed a stellar pro day at North Carolina to solidify his spot in the first round. If Austin falls to St. Louis and Vaccaro becomes available, Dallas would likely go with the safety.
19. NYG: D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama
Fluker is currently weighing in at 6-5 and 339 pounds. Size and youth on the offensive line is a combination that the Giants may not be able to pass up.
20. CHI: Alec Ogletree, LB, Georgia*
Georgia's defense was incredibly talented last season and host of its athletes could go in the first two rounds. Ogletree has some off-the-field issues, but his talent combined with Chicago's post-Brian Urlacher need for a linebacker means this pick is worth the risk.
21. CIN: Matt Elam, S, Florida
Elam has a chance of ending up as the first safety off the board in the upcoming draft. Perhaps no defensive player is all over the field the way Elam is, and the Bengals will take note.
22. STL: Eric Reid, S, LSU
A run of safeties could take place in the latter stages of the first round, with Reid being a part of it. St. Louis would love his play-making ability.
23. MIN: Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina
Williams has played just five years of football, but he has made a big impact in short time. With two picks in the first round, the Vikings can really bolster their defense.
24. IND: Datone Jones, DE, UCLA*
Jones is a sack-master who can perhaps be the heir apparent to Dwight Freeney if he lands in Indianapolis. Addressing the interior of the defensive line is also a possibility for the Colts.
25. MIN: Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington
Marcus Trufant's brother is joining the league and should be a first-round selection. The Vikings need a ton of help on defense, where linebacker is also an option.
26. GB: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
Patterson was once the No. 1 receiver on the board, but he appears to have been surpassed by Austin. It's time for Aaron Rodgers to start enjoying a new era of pass-catchers in Green Bay.
27. HOU: Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee
Hunter hauled in 73 passes for 1083 yards and nine touchdowns last season at Tennessee. He would be a great compliment to Andre Johnson in the Houston offense.
28. DEN: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
Peyton Manning doesn't have a complete all-star cast around him, but he's good enough to have Denver's offensive in great shape. Werner had 13 sacks last season for Florida State and he would be a steal this late in round one.
29. NE: D.J. Hayden, CB, Houston
Hayden is soaring up draft boards in the final moments before it all begins, establishing himself as one of the best cornerbacks in the class. New England finally has only one first-round pick so it can't mess around with it.
30. ATL: Jamar Taylor, CB, Boise State
If Eifert falls, the Falcons will be tempted to land their tight end of the future to eventually replace the returning Tony Gonzalez. Cornerback, however, is the team's most serious weak point.
31. SF: Jonathan Cyprien, SS, Florida International
The 49ers are really good up front, but their secondary was exposed by Joe Flacco in the Super Bowl. Cyprien has emerged as a first-round talent.
32. BAL: Kevin Minter, LB, LSU
The end has finally come for Ray Lewis, so Baltimore will address its middle linebacker position. Even without Lewis' departure, the Ravens would have needed a youth movement on that side of the football and the process should begin with Minter.
