Steve Shoup’s Updated 2013 NFL Mock Draft

Updated 2013 NFL Mock Draft Round 1 | Round 1 Picks 17-32 | Round 2 | Round 3 | Round 4 |

Picks: 1-1617-32 Also Check Out Fanspeak’s NFL Draft Blog and Big Board

1. Oakland Raiders- QB Geno Smith, WVU

Geno Smith has moved to the top of the quarterback rankings and that is likely where the Raiders will go.

2. Jacksonville Jaguars- OLB Jarvis Jones-

-Jacksonville could use more additional pass rushers, and Jones is elite, making this a pretty simple pick.

3. Cleveland Browns- DE Bjoren Werner, FSU

-The Browns have to bring more heat on the quarterback next season, and if they do could have the makings of a top defense.

4. Kansas City Chiefs- QB Matt Barkley, USC

-Their current USC quarterback hasn’t been too effective, but that won’t stop them from drafting Barkley who is a far better prospect than Matt Cassel.

5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- OT Luke Joeckel, Texas A&M

-The Buccaneers have a huge hole at right tackle, which they could fill by drafting Joeckel for LT and moving Donald Penn over to the right side.

6. Indianapolis Colts- DT Jonathan Hankins, Ohio State

-The Colts 3-4 defense needs a guy in the middle to disrupt things and that could be Hankins.

7. Seattle Seahawks- WR Keenan Allen, Cal

-Allen has moved up as the best receiver in this class, and would be a nice weapon for Russel Wilson.

8. Miami Dolphins- WR Robert Woods, USC

-Miami needs to serious invest in some weapons for Ryan Tannehill next season and would be wise to start in the first round.

9. St. Louis Rams- OT Jake Matthews, Texas A&M

-Jeff Fisher coached Bruce Matthews in Houston/Tennessee and happens to have a big need at offensive tackle, so drafting the HOF’s son makes perfect sense.

10. New Orleans Saints- DE Barkevious Mingo, LSU

-The Saints defense is not generating enough of a pass rush, which is where a guy like Mingo can come in.

11. New York Jets- LB Manti Te’o, Notre Dame

-Bart Scott is beginning to fade, and Rex Ryan (assuming he’s still here) will look for a replacement. He can’t do much better than Te’o who has elite potential.

12. Tennessee Titans- DT Star Lotulelei, Utah

-The Titans defensive line still could use some upgrades and Lotulelei is a steal outside of the top 10.

13. St. Louis Rams (via Washington)- S Eric Reid, LSU

-If the Rams can come out of this draft with a top safety and tackle it will be a huge success

14. Carolina Panthers- DT Kawann Short, Purdue

-The Panthers interior defensive line is not getting the job done, and is where the Panthers need to invest next season.

15. Buffalo Bills- WR Justin Hunter, Tennessee

-The Bills have some interesting receiver depth but could use a legitimate star next to Stevie Johnson.

16. Dallas Cowboys- G Chase Warmack, Alabama

-The Cowboys interior offensive line has been exposed this season and needs to be targeted next year.
