DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2013 NFL Season NFL Draft (2013) Mour's Mock v.1

I used my own power poll opinion to separate same records. Bottom 12 are wildcards and division leaders.

1. 0-5 Colts
As of this moment they would takeQB Andrew Luck. If Manning returns they can trade the pick to a number of teams.

2. 0-4 Rams
Gruden takes over the struggling rams and Gruden wants a big physical receiver to go with his QB. Rams select 6-4 230lb. Alshon Jeffery

3. 0-4 Dolphins
Dolphins new head coach Bill Cowher wants 2 things, great defense and a great run game. Well he gets his run game by selecting Alabama RB Trent Richardson.

4. 1-4 Jaguars
Gabbert needs receiving options and Oklahoma St. receiver Justin Blackmon fits the bill.

5. 1-4 Cards
This team needs a lot of everything but this line sucks more than the rest of the team. OT Jonathon Martin of Stanford gives this line a huge boost in pass protection as well as run blocking.

6. 1-4 Broncos
This secondary doesn't seem to be able to cover anyone unless the front 4 gets pressure in less than 3 seconds. Alabama CB Dre Kirkpatrick could go a long way in helping this defense. He is effective in both press and man coverage.

7. 1-4 Eagles
Seahawks get nervous and jump up for Matt Barkley QB USC.

8. 1-4 Vikings
No brainer selection here with USC offensive tackle Matt Kalil.

9. 1-4 Panthers
The Panthers have one of the most exciting offenses int he league but they also have a defense that is getting owned especially up front. Defensive tackle Alameda Ta'amu of Washington is my favorite tackle in this class and will skyrocket up the boards by season end.

10. 2-3 Chiefs
I believe we will see Josh McDaniel taking over in Kansas City. The guy can coach he just has Butch Davis's talent evaluation skills. In KC he has a great personnel man who will give Josh what he wants and that is a big armed QB by the name of Landry Jones of Oklahoma.

11. Browns from 2-3 Falcons
Knowing Heckert I could see a trade down here but Morris Claiborne CB LSU is just to good to pass up on but DE Coples will get a lot of consideration as well.

12. 2-3 Seahawks Eagles draft here.
The Eagles could go many directions North Carolina outside linebacker Zach Brown would add desperately needed talent to a very weak linebacker corps

13. 2-3 Bears
This OL can't handle the defenses of the Lions and Packers without major upgrades. A healthy Carimi will help but another stud is needed and Iowa's Riley Reiff should add a very good bookend to match with Carimi.

14. 2-3 Jets
The Jets need a true stud pass rusher and it should come down to UNC DE Coples and Florida State OLB Brandon Jenkins. I believe Jenkins speed and more prototypical 3-4 OLB type body will lead the jets in his direction.

15. 2-2 Cowboys
Romo is damaged goods. I just don't believe the trust is there with him and Jerry Jones. Ryan Tannehill QB of Texas A&M imho is going to be the best QB in this class if given a year or two to develop. he may not get that time but he gets a team loaded with talent.

16. 2-2 Browns
DE Quinton Coples should not have fallen this far but I just aint seeing the love for defensive ends in this draft. He could slide to the Browns and if he does, he will be the blindside pass rusher the Browns have been looking for since Courtney Brown was lost to injuries.

17. 3-2 Titans
With Kenny Britt's issues and injury, Malcomb Floyd WR Notre Dame becomes a very valuable selection at this point.

18. 3-2 Steelers
I could easily see Pitt trading up for an offensive tackle but they need guard help as well. Hey they took a 1st round center so why not a guard in Cordy Glenn of Georgia. Big powerhouse blocker fits what they want.

19. 3-2 Bengals
Bengals are building a solid young team and I just don't know where Cedric Benson fits in. Lamarr Miller RB Miami is perfect for the Bengals blocking scheme. He is patient but runs with power and has tremendous burst.

20. 3-2 Raiders
Raiders love fast kids with attitude and CB Stephon Gilmore of south carolina will fit right in with Raider Nation.

21. 3-2 Giants
Brandon Thompson is big old DT from Clemson that can pressure the pocket and if you can pass rush, the Giants can use you.

22. 4-1 Patriots
The Pats want to get back tot he 3-4 and they just need linebackers. It starts with Manti Te'o inside backer for Notre Dame.

23. 3-2Bucs
Bucs has a swiss cheese secondary. North Alabama has a speedy corner by the name of Janoris Jenkins that will liven up this secondary.

24. 4-1 Lions
Lions need offensive line help and never draft it. That continues once again as they target Nebraska corner Alfonzo Dennard.

25. 3-2 Texans
DT Josh Champman can play the nose in the 3-4 of the Texans as he plays the nose for Bama. He will add a lot of run stuffing ability to a pretty good pass rushing defense.

26. 4-1 49ers
The 49ers and Alex Smith look like the perfect combination. How long until Alex Smith remembers that well he sucks? 49ers take Baylor QB Robert Griffin.

27. 4-1 Chargers
Vincent Jackson wont be back and Nick Toon of Wisconsin looks like a pretty good replacment.

28. 3-1 Redskins
The skins have to improve this line a good start would be by adding OT Levy Adcock Oklahoma St.

29. 3-1 Ravens
With Lewis set to retire, Dontay Hightower of Alabama will be a welcomed addition.

30. Patriots from 4-1 Saints
Pats keep rebuilding their 3-4 with Courtenay Upshaw OLB Bama.

31. 4-1 Bills
Dontari Poe is 350lbs of Memphis beast. He can take over the nose and allow their rookie Marcell Dareus to become a disruptor from the DE position.

32. 5-0 Packers
The Packers do not have a lot of holes to fill but you can never go wrong with immediate corner depth and future starting corner in cornerback Chase Minnifield Virginia.

Runningbacks are not worth a top 5 pick

And Daniel Thomas is a fine back. Probably the pick I disagree with most.

Also...do you really think the Browns are going to go Defense with both 1st rounders?

We need playmakers at those positions but we've addressed the defense with our top two picks in each of the last two drafts under Heckert.

Overall though good job

I'm not high on Quinton Coples and he's not even the best DE on the UNC roster.

If the Colts traded the pick or drafted anybody but Luck they would be insane. Even if Manning returns, it would only be for a couple years and he is one hit away from having his career end and he may never be the same... worst case you draft Luck and sit him for a year or two if Manning returns to form, then Luck learns under the most intelligent QB this league may have ever seen and you have your next 15 year starter...

How would the Colts feel to not take Luck and then in week 2 Manning gets crunched from behind and never plays again?

The new salary pool for first rounders will actually allow teams to take best player instead of just protecting salary of the team. This kid is a beast and is the best back I have seen since AP.

wow,, that's a lotta work there Mour,,,

I don't know if the Browns go D with two first rounders. Your first thought about trading down is probably a good one. One I'd really believe., for what, who knows..

Good job

There is always one player's name that gives me trouble. last year it was Jordan cameron and Cameron Jordan. Before that Gaines Adams killed me. I still want to call him Adam Gaines. Guess Michael Floyd and Malcomb Floyd is this year's disaster name.

and like I said, you are far from the only one.

good job overall on this mock. i like that you didn't stick to the conventions alot of places use (need to have DE, LT, QB dominate top5 picks, etc) and tried to go with who you really felt was BPA.

Who's that beast of a LB from Arizona St? Vontaze Burlfect or something like that? Isn't he considered a mid to high 1st rounder?

Vontaze Burfict, I have him mid to late 2nd. He will need a pretty good 40 time to get into the first.

As far as our picks, I could live with the 2 you stated, at least based on what I know now.

In the second round if we went Right OT, I would be ecstatic.

I know you're big on him, but most people (including me) aren't. In the end, it's the opinion of those in charge that matters, and they don't like Tannehill in the first.

This is classic DT.

The people that matter think Christian Ponder is at best pick 30-45, as well. And Jake Locker will fall to the third.

Who said Locker would fall to the 3rd?

I'll also throw in that I fully expected a team to be stupid enough to take Ponder in the first round. There were a ton of teams that desperately needed quarterbacks, and teams liked him. I still think he will bust and wasn't worth more than a third round pick, but it was well established that he was liked throughout the league. The same situation happened with Dalton.

I worry less about DPM's size than his lack of production and pass rush moves.

I know you're big on him, but most people (including me) aren't. In the end, it's the opinion of those in charge that matters, and they don't like Tannehill in the first.

Obviously you have this great knowledge of what general managers around the league are thinking, so enlighten us with your brilliance. What does Tom Heckert think of Mr. Tannehill? I think your post has the stench of total bull crap.

As for Burfict, he could go top 15. I never thought anyone was dumb enough to draft Wimbley top 15, or Boby carpenter in the first or Curry in top 5 but there are a lot of bad experts out there.

Miami taking QB, I tell ya I like what I saw in Henne. I just really didn't like what I have seen from their run game. Just to many missed holes and wasted opportunities.

No, I don't talk to any NFL GM's. But I have had conversations with scouts and I have talked to many people in the business. Tannehill is considered a project similar to Colin Kaepernick.

I would pick Burfict in the top 15 without hesitation. I see very little not to like. He's an animal. He can play the pass, he can play the run, he's fast and he's intimidating. I'm willing to take the chance on the personal fouls.

Burfict vs. Tannehill who goes first in the draft? this one has sig bet written all over it.

Unfortunately some GM will try to outsmart himself and think Tannehill will shock people.

I'm in.

I think people are starting to realize he's overrated. He's purely a zone corner to me. His hips aren't smooth enough to run down the field in man.

I'm going to have to disagree here, although i see good things from ryan tannehill, i just dont see NFL QB in him, but i can tell he's very athletic. My track record isn't so good either, i was a big fan of Matt Leinart.

Luck is solid, his play making ability it uncanny. Now who do i think is the 2nd best qb? Nick Foles please! He's huge! He's got a cannon! and hes pretty accurate shooting at 70% this year.

Tannehill is getting better and better. Mike Sherman has taken him from athlete to QB and his performance today was WOW!!!

1. Colts 0-7 QB Andrew Luck, Stanford
Nothing has changed here. Manning doesn't look any closer to playing and after seeing the Saint's game, he might hope they they do draft Luck.

2. Dolphins 0-6 QB Landry Jones, Oklahoma
Jones may not be the next Marino but he looks the part with a terrific arm and a very quick release.

3. Rams 0-6 OT Jonathan Martin, Stanford
Everyone right now seems to be riding the Kalil bandwagon but Martin imho is the best tackle in this draft. Rams need receiver, but they can't keep their former #1 at QB healthy because of their other former #1 pick at tackle that is always injured.

4. Vikings 1-6 OT Matt Kalil, USC
Ponder was a major investment, the Vikings might want to protect that investment with a stud tackle.

5. Cardinals 1-5 RB Trent Richardson, Bama
There always seems to be some kind of issue with Wells and Kolb needs a strong run game to be successful and it would really help if he actually came within 5 yards of his receivers on his throws.

6. Jags 2-5 WR Justin Blackmon, Oklahoma State
Gabbert is in dire need of a true #1receiving option. His other receivers are in dire need of Gabbert throwing an accurate pass.

7. Panthers 2-5 DT Alameda Ta'Amu, Washington
This kid is starting to creep into the first round of many mocks, about time. The Panthers are in desperate need a monster run stuffer in the middle to free up their talented ends. Needs to improve his pass rush skills but he can force the double and dominate in the run game.

8. Broncos 2-4 CB Morris Claiborne, LSU
Claiborne is now my top rated corner. Looks like everyone going after him last year to avoid Peterson is paying off this year. Kid is a beast in the secondary.

9. Seahawks 2-4 QB Matt Barkley USC
Enough wasting time and money on dud castoffs. Seahawks get their man in Barkley.

10. Eagles 2-4 OG David DeCastro, Stanford
The guard play for the Eagles reminds me of the 99 Browns, it really is that bad. DeCastro fills the void left by Shawn Andrews. Top 10 guard, I know it will never happen but the Eagles wont be drafting here either but they will probably be drafting a guard in the first. Man was this kid impressive last week.

11. Browns 3-3 QB Ryan Tannehill Texas A&M
Colt McCoy has the Browns at 3-3 and he has thrown 8 touchdowns and only 4 interceptions but a completion percentage of 56 when you throw beyond 5 yards twice a game? He still has plenty of time to right the ship and I want Colt to succeed but my confidence in the young man is reaching bottom.

12. Redskins 3-3 CB Dre Kirkpatrick, Alabama
One thing about Mike Shannahan, he believes in strong corner play. Dre fits their scheme perfectly.

13. Titans 3-3 WR Alshon Jeffery, South Carolina
The Titans simply do not have the offensive firepower to make teams respect the passing game. Pair Jeffery and Britt together and you have the makings of a terrific tandem especially if the Titans can get their run game going.

14. Chiefs 3-3 DE Quinton Coples, North Carolina
This kid just seems like a great fit for Romeo's 3-4 scheme.

15. Cowboys 3-3 CB Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina
The Cowboys most likely will make a big push to land a quarterback in this draft but for now corner is a huge need and Gilmore's ability to make the open field tackle is enough to make Rob Ryan drool.

16. Ravens 4-3 Inside Backer, Manti Te'o, Notre Dame
The most instinctive linebacker in this draft with better than advertised cover skills, he will have tough shoes to fill in Baltimore.

17. Jets 4-3 OLB Courtney Upshaw, Alabama
Upshaw will give the Jets that outside linebacker that can rush the passer.

18. Bears 4-3 OT Riley Reiff, Iowa
Bears may break the land speed record turning in their card, if Reiff is still there when they draft.

19. Bucs 4-3 CB Janoris Jenkins, North Alabama
Bucs coaches are familiar with Jenkins and are unlikely to let him slip past them.

20. Bengals from Raiders 4-3 CB Alfonzo Dennard, Nebraska
When healthy he is an elite corner that can shut down his side of the field.

21. Bengals 4-2 OT WR Michael Floyd, Notre Dame
Floyd and Green. Crap

22. Browns from Falcons 4-3 OLB Zach Brown North Carolina
He is a top 10 prospect talent wise but his size likely makes him slide.


23. Bills 4-2 DT Dontari Poe Memphis
Bills have to get the beast in the middle to allow Dareus to truly emerge.

24. Lions 5-2 CB Chase Minnifield Virginia
Lions need help at offensive tackle but the lions have avoided reaching and stuck to best player available, they do so again.

25. Houston 4-3 DT Brandon Thompson, Clemson
Thompson lacks the ideal height to play in the 3-4 but if you can play they will find a spot for you and Thompson is fierce.

26. Giants 4-2 CB Jayron Hosley, Virginia Tech
He is a flat out pure cover corner with Deon speed. He also has Deon's size, well when Deon was 15.

27. Chargers 4-2 WR Jeff Fuller, Texas A&M
With Nick Toon injured again, Fuller moves up the boards.

28. Patriots from Saints 5-2 LB Dont'a Hightower, Alabama
Can play inside or out and is becoming a pretty good pass rusher. The Pats are looking to reload their linebacking corps and Hightower is a fantastic prospect.

29. Steelers 5-2 OT Mike Adams Ohio St.
They love Ohio State prospects in Pittsburgh.

30. 49ers 5-1 C Peter Konz, Wisconsin
the 9ers are slowly putting together a pretty good line but they could use an upgrade in the middle.

31. Patriots 5-1 Tweener DE Alex Okafor Texas
Alex has a strong motor and is always around the ball. His lanky frame and flexibility should be enough to get him in the role as an OLB in the 3-4.

32. Packers 7-0 DE Jared Crick Nebraska
Crick will give the Packers defensive front some added flexibility and quickness.

11. Browns 3-3 QB Ryan Tannehill Texas A&M
Colt McCoy has the Browns at 3-3 and he has thrown 8 touchdowns and only 4 interceptions but a completion percentage of 56 when you throw beyond 5 yards twice a game? He still has plenty of time to right the ship and I want Colt to succeed but my confidence in the young man is reaching bottom.

Just my opinon, We have so many other holes to fill and if we take a QB at 11 and Tannehill besides, than we deserve to sqander with losing records for years to come, We need to take a LB, another corner or a RT or a WR before we even consider a QB.

I stopped reading after seeing this, but again just my opinon. dosent mean anything.

There isn't a LB, RT or WR in all of history that you could add to the Browns that would have as immediate an impact on the Browns winning football games as getting good production from the QB position. Now we can all debate whether Colt is eventually going to be that guy or if we are going to have to go get that guy... and I agree with you that we have other holes to fill as well, but none as important as QB.. I'm not saying Tannehill is THE GUY, don't know enough about him to tell, draft reports look good but he has very little experience at the NCAA level so far...

I also like using the Falcons pick on OLB Zach Brown, because even if he never becomes a great LB, he can still sing and entertain the lockerroom.

Plus, he's already rich, so he'd likely sign a team friendly contract.

dislike dislike dislike, the kid is sooooooo overrated its unreal just cause he came from Florida, the kid sucks, im glad hes owning in D2, but hes got lots of character problems
