2013 NFL Mock Draft
Round 1 (part 3) of 2
33. (2.1) JAX: Datone Jones, DE, UCLA
The Jags had the fewest sacks in the NFL last season so using multiple early round picks to upgrade the D-line is very possible. Jones' 6-4, 280 pound frame has some considering him a 'tweener' which could drop him from first round consideration. Jones played multiple positions in the Bruins' hybrid 3-4 scheme and record 19 tackles for loss as a senior.

34. (2.2) SF: Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford
San Francisco acquired this pick as part of the Alex Smith trade to Kansas City. Head coach Jim Harbaugh is very familiar with the Stanford senior (6-6, 252). Ertz led the Cardinal with 66 receptions for 837 yards and six touchdowns in 2012. This move would help fill the void of losing Delanie Walker to free agency.

35. (2.3) PHI: EJ Manuel, QB, Florida State
First year head coach Chip Kelly decided to keep Mike Vick but the soon to be 33 year old signal caller has not played a full season since 2006. Nick Foles has been rumored to be on the trade market as he doesn't possess the athleticism that Kelly requires at the QB position. Kelly recruited Manuel at Oregon. The 6-4, 240 pounder has ideal size and mobility. Manuel completed 67% of his 897 career passes, and missed just one game due to injury.

36. (2.4) DET: DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson
Megatron gets his running mate. Titus Young pouted his way out of town and Nate Burleson and Ryan Broyles suffered season ending leg injuries. In 2012, the 6-1, 200 pounder has 69 receptions for 1214 yards and 16 touchdowns (2nd in the nation). He had a streak of nine consecutive games with a TD entering the bowl game.

37. (2.5) CIN: Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame
Bengals own this pick as part of the Carson Palmer trade. Manny Lawson is a free agent and Thomas Howard's knee injury makes LB another area of concern. The ND senior has totaled 103 tackles, 5.5 tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks, four passes broken up and seven interceptions. Teo' (6-2, 245) had a disappointing combine which could lead to a draft day slide.

38. (2.6) ARI: Mike Glennon, QB, NC State
Bruce Arians vertical passing game gets their guy in the big armed NC State product. Glennon (6'5, 230) led the ACC in passing YPG (304) and became the first NC State QB to throw for 30+ touchdowns in two different seasons.

39. (2.7) NYJ: Jamar Taylor, CB, Boise State
Antonio Cromartie excelled in 2012 but the loss of Darrelle Revis the Jets need to add secondary depth. Taylor's stock is on the rise after an impressive combine (4.39 forty) that followed a solid senior bowl performance. His versatility is an added bonus as most expect he's capable of playing press or off man coverage. The Boise State senior (5-11, 196) totaled 51 tackles , four interceptions, and nine passes broken up and in 2012.

40. (2.8) TEN: Cornellius Carradine, DE, Florida State
The defensive face lift continues into round 2. Tank registered 11 sacks before injuring his knee against Florida in the season finale. The explosive pass rusher is being considered as a potential first rounder but concerns surrounding the ACL injury make him a solid day 2 selection.

41. (2.9) BUF: Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee
Stevie Johnson needs a running mate. Hunter regained his explosiveness following a 2011 knee injury. In 2012, he totaled 73 receptions for 1,083 yards and nine touchdowns.

42. (2.10) MIA: Menelik Watson, OT, Florida State
Former #1 overall pick Jake Long signed with St Louis. Rookie Jonathan Martin struggled early improved and will likely start 2013 on the blind side. A new right tackle is needed.

43. (2.11) TB: Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State
The Bucs secondary could use a major upgrade after they ranked dead last in pass defense in 2012 allowing 297 YPG. Free agent CB EJ Biggers signed with Washington and Eric Wright disappointed amid injuries and a suspension. The Bucs pass defense never recovered after the trade of troubled CB Aquib Talib to New England . The senior team captain (6'1, 185) was a Jim Thorpe finalist. He totaled 59 tackles, seven pass breakups, four interceptions, and 2.0 tackles for loss. His physical nature (suited for press coverage) has some scouts comparing him to Richard Sherman (Seahawks). Adding a pass rusher to team with Gerald McCoy is also an option.

44. (2.12) CAR: Robert Woods, WR, USC
The junior has regressed in 2012 (73 receptions for 813 yards and 11 touchdowns) - just one 100 yard game. He's a day 1 prospect if he can return to his 2011 form (1,292 yards and 15 touchdowns on 111 receptions in 2011).

45. (2.13) SD: Blidi Wreh-Wilson, CB, Connecticut
Starting corners Quentin Jammer and Antoine Cason are free agents. If the Chargers expect to compete with Denver's passing game an upgrade is needed. The 6'1 189 pounder had a solid senior bowl and excelled in man coverage.

46. (2.14) STL: Montee Ball, RB, Wisconsin
St Louis owns this pick as part of the 2012 RG3 trade. Steven Jackson is now in Atlanta and Richardson/Pead have not proven to be worthy of carrying a 15-20 carry workload. Ball rushed for 1,830 yards as a senior, finished with 83 career touchdowns, an NCAA record, and 5,140 career rushing yards at Wisconsin. He has solid lead back size for the next level (5-foot-10 3/4, 210 pounds).

47. (2.15) DAL: Kawann Short, DT, Purdue
Montee Kiffin will be installing a 4-3 defense in Big D. Help is needed at defensive tackle as Jay Ratliff will return in 2013 but will need to improve to justify his big pay day. Short (6'3, 310 pounds) has totaled 42 tackles, 14.5 tackles for a loss, six sacks, four blocked kicks and a forced fumble in 2012. Barry Church tore his Achilles' tendon in September so depth at safety could also be addressed depending on who is available.

48. (2.16) PIT: D.J. Swearinger, FS, South Carolina
Troy Polamalu will be 32 when the 2013 season kicks off and has battled multiple injuries. Swearinger made 2nd team All-SEC as a senior after he recorded 79 tackles, two interceptions, and forced two fumbles. The hard hitter can play both free and strong safety with solid cover skills.
