2013 NFL Mock Draft
Round 1 (part 2) of 2
17. PIT: Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia*
James Harrison was cut.Spinal issues / less than impressive pro day could cause a draft day slide but Jones has the talent to be a top 5 pick (been compared to Von Miller). Jones had 85 tackles, 14.5 sacks, 24.5 tackles for a loss, and seven forced fumbles in 2012.

18. DAL: Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina
Protecting Tony Romo is a must going forward as the Cowboys must replace Doug Free (backup at best) and upgrade the interior of the O-line. The 6-foot-3, 295-pounder will bolster the Cowboys interior line and has the versatility/athleticism to play Center or OG at the next level.

19. NYG: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
Osi Umenyiora (signed with Atlanta) and Justin Tuck were huge disappointments in 2012. Werner is a versatile defender (played LB and DE for the Seminoles). In 2012, he has 40 tackles, 13 sacks, 18 tackles for a loss and seven batted passes.

20. CHI: Arthur Brown, OLB, Kansas State
The Brian Urlacher era has come to an end. Brown weighed in at 236 pounds and recorded 21 bench press reps at his pro day. Brown's forty time ranged from 4.58 to 4.62 seconds and he is viewed as a true 3-down LB at the next level.

21. CIN: Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M
Improving the pass rush will take priority this offseason even after placing the franchise tag on sack leader Michael Johnson. Moore's 12.5 sacks placing him among the leaders in the nation and he leads the Aggie defense with 80 tackles. The 6-foot-4, 250-pounder needs to add more weight to survive as an NFL defensive end but the Bengals could use help at LB (Manny Lawson signed with Buffalo).

22. STL: D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama
St Louis owns this pick as part of the 2012 RG3 trade. The Rams O-line will need multiple additions to keep Sam Bradford off the training table. Fluker (6-6, 335) was a powerful tackle / nasty run-blocker for the National Champs. His pass protection needs some work so he likely projects as a Guard at the next level.

23. MIN: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
The trade of Percy Harvin netted the Vikings a 1st and 7th rounder this season and 3rd rounder in 2014. Despite the signing of Greg Jennings, the Vikings need more playmakers in the passing game to avoid AP constantly facing 8-9 guys in the box. Patterson has ideal size (6-3, 205 pounds) but played just one year against D-1 competition after spending two years in junior college. He set a school record with 1,858 all-purpose yards in 2012. Patterson is a dynamic kick returner and was the first player to score a touchdown four ways (receiving, rushing, kick return, punt return) in a single season since 2008.

24. IND: Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina*
What a difference a year makes as #1 pick Andrew Luck led the Colts into the Playoffs. Head Coach Chuck Pagano (former Baltimore coach) will look to find a Haloti Ngata clone to solidify the interior of the D-line

25. MIN: Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington
Minnesota acquired this pick as part of the Percy Harvin trade. The release of veteran CB Antoine Winfield brings secondary to the top of their need list. Trufant's stock is on the rise after a very impressive senior bowl. Trufant (5-foot-11 5/8, 192 pounds) also had a solid Combine running a 4.38 40-yard dash and finishing second in the short-shuttle (3.85 seconds). He also surprised with 16 reps on the bench press elevating his chance to be press coverage CB at the next level.

26. GB: Eddie Lacy, RB, Alabama
DuJuan Harris had a nice playoff run but he's not a bell cow back. The Pack need to develop a more balanced attack to keep Rodgers from getting injured behind a mediocre O-line. The 5-10, 220 pound junior finished the 2012 season with 1,322 rushing yards on 204 carries (6.5 average) and 17 touchdowns and was named to the ALL-SEC First Team.

27. HOU: Matt Elam, S, Florida
The Texans pass defense sprung leaks in the 2nd half of the season. Despite the signing of veteran Ed Reed more depth is needed especially following the loss of Glover Quin to Detroit. The junior Seminole tallied 65 tackles, four interceptions, one sack, nine tackles for a loss and five passes broken this season. Finding a threat to compliment WR Andre Johnson should also be addressed early in this draft.

28. DEN: D.J. Hayden, CB, Houston
Champ Bailey is aging and I'm not sure that the siging of Dominique Rodgers Cromartie is the answer. Mike Mayock recently moved Hayden to his #1 CB - a true sign that his stock is on the rise after he was medically cleared after a life threatening injury in practice last season (the senior tore a large vein, the inferior vena cava, which carries blood from the lower half of the body back up to the heart).

29. NE: Keenan Allen, WR, California
WR Brandon Lloyd was released and Wes Welker chose to sign in Denver. Tom Terrific will be pining for weapons after he agreed to take a pay cut. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound junior totaled 61 receptions for 737 yards and six touchdowns in 2012 (impressive considering the weak Cal QB play). His combo of speed / physical skills should make him worth a first round selection despite the PCL knee injury.

30. ATL: Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame
TE Tony Gonzalez came out of retirement but we think this will be his last season so the Falcons get great value and lock up his heir apparent. The 2012 Mackey Award Winner had 44 receptions for 624 yards and four touchdowns in 2012. He finished his career as Notre Dame's all-time leading receiver among tight ends and his above average blocking should solidify him as one of the first TEs to hear his name called on draft day. Upgrading the pass protection is another possibility.

31. SF: Jonathan Cyprien, SS, Florida International
Safety Dashon Goldson signed with Tampa Bay and Donte Whitner surrendered more touchdowns than any other safety in 2012. Cyprien is an interchangeable, physical safety with range and aggression - sounds like an ideal fit for the hard hitting 49er defense. He has solid size (6-foot, 217 pounds) and demonstrated solid skills against the run in college. Questions remain surrounding his speed (4.64 seconds in the 40-yard dash) and the fact that he faced inferior competition is a concern.

32. BAL: Eric Reid, FS, LSU
The Ravens aging defense will be in search of replacements for Ray Lewis (retirement) and Ed Reed (signed with Houston) this offseason. Safety Bernard Pollard also signed with the Titans. Reid is a big (6'-2'', 212lb) hard hitting centerfielder that should fit right in with the Raven pass defense.
