costrander3689's Mock Draft (Round 3)

1 - KC: Khaseem Greene, OLB, Rutgers
(Smith, QB; Eifert, TE) Greene is the best player on the board, and can replace Jovan Belcher at MLB. Greene has the speed and awareness to keep up with big TEs and HBs out of the backfield

2 - SF: Sean Porter, OLB, Texas A&M
(from CAR)(Hunter, WR; Trufant, CB) Porter came into the season with a mid-1st round grade, but has dropped considerably after his team switched to a 43 defense. The 49ers need pass rushers, and Porter could be a sleeper pick

3 - JAX: Cobi Hamilton, WR, Arkansas
(Hankins, DT; Wilson, QB) The Jaguars need another WR, and they'd be smart to bring in Wilson's favorite target from Arkansas. Hamilton is a big kid that would give Wilson a solid redzone target, and combined with Blackmon and Shorts, should help open up this offense

4 - CLE: Da'Rick Rogers, WR, Tennessee Tech
(Jones, OLB) The Browns shouldn't think twice about this pick, and lock up Rogers. They need help at WR, and get a speedy downfield target with good size and solid hands

5 - OAK: Larry Warford, OG, Kentucky
(Werner, DE) The Raiders are in serious need of a guard, and Warford has excellent value here. The Raiders add another really good player, and keep making their team better

6 - ARI: Trevardo Williams, OLB, Connecticut
(Joeckel, OT; Ertz, TE) The Cardinals need pass rushers, and Williams is one of the better ones available. He has Bruce Irvin like speed and power, and should help this defense out

7 - NYJ: Joseph Randle, RB, Oklahoma State
(Moore, OLB; Woods, WR) The Jets add another skill player to their offense, and add a reliable HB that can take 1st and 2nd downs, as well as passing downs, where Greene can come in for short yardage situations

8 - PHI: Corey Lemonier, DE, Auburn
(Milliner, CB; Fluker, OT) The added Vinny Curry last season, but they'll ,likely be looking to clear house, and Babin and Cole could be amongst the casualties for underperforming based on their salary

9 - BUF: Gerald Hodges, OLB, Penn State
(Barkley, QB; Patton, WR) The Bills need another LB, and tab a really good one here with Hodges. He should take full advantage of playing behind their highly-touted d-line which should be much better next season

10 - DET: Tony Jefferson, FS, Oklahoma
(Te'o, MLB; Amerson, CB) The Lions add another defensive back here. Jefferson is an absolute steal here, and will nicely compliment Delmas on the back end of their defense

11 - TEN: Nickell Robey, CB, USC
(Mingo, DE; B Jones, OL) The Titans need to add CBs, and Robey has great value here. Should start as a nickel corner, and could work his way into a full time role

12 - STL: Bacarri Rambo, FS, Georgia
(Lewan, OT; Warmack, OG; T Williams, WR) Another team that really needs to add a safety is the Rams. Rambo is a really good player, with ballhawking instincts that should help this defense jump to the next level

13 - SD: Marcus Davis, WR, Virginia Tech
(Jenkins, NT; Jeffcoat, OLB) Phillip Rivers works much better with bigger receivers, as evident by the emergence of Denario Alexander. Davis is another big kid (6'4, 232) that Rivers can hit out wide, or over the middle

14 - DAL: Brandon Jenkins, DE, Florida State
(Matthews, OT; Manuel, QB) Jenkins has declared that he will be entering the 2013 NFL Draft, which is a scary thought for some teams. This is a kid with top-10 talent, but he missed this season with a foot injury, and that may scare some teams. The Cowboys are in need of a pass rusher, and the reward far outweighs the risk with him here

15 - MIA: Logan Ryan, CB, Rutgers
(Allen, WR; S Williams, DT; Carradine, DE) The Dolphins traded Vontae Davis to Indy, and need to find someone to replace him. Ryan has been gaining some serious momentum, and could end up in the 2nd round. If not, the Dolphins will be thrilled to take him

16 - WAS: Carrington Byndom, CB, Texas
(Brown, MLB) DeAngelo Hall should be cut after this season, opening the door for a young CB. Byndom has awesome value here, and would be a welcome addition

17 - NO: John Simon, DE, Ohio State
(Richardson, DT) Spagnuolo loves pass rushers, and the Saints don't have too many of them. Drafting Simon here gives them a nice, young pass rusher that can split time with Jordan and Smith

18 - MIN: Bennie Logan, DT, LSU
(Banks, CB; Hopkins, WR) Should he fall this far, Minnesota will see to it that he doesn't fall any further. They Vikings are in need of d-linemen, and will likely draft 2 or 3 this year

19 - SEA: Joseph Fauria, TE, UCLA
(Patterson, WR; Thomas, OT) The Seahawks need a big TE for Wilson to throw the ball to. Fauria is a solid blocker, and his massive frame (6'7, 258) should make him a terror in the endzone

20 - PIT: Margus Hunt, DE, Southern Methodist
(Mosley, LB; Lester, SS) The Steelers will likely cut ties with Ziggy Hood after this season, and are going to need someone that can replace him. Hunt could fit into a 43 or 34 system as a DE, and should go somewhere around here

21 - CIN: Stedman Bailey, WR, West Virginia
(J Williams, DT; Okafor, DE; Bernard, HB) The Bengals add another young WR to their roster. Bailey is a monster at WVU, and he and Sanu should develop into solid #2 and #3 WRs behind AJ Green

22 - IND: Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon
(Floyd, DL) Barner is too good to pass on here. The Colts have a big need at HB, and Barner will give Luck another weapon in the slot or out of the backfield

23 - GB: Kwame Geathers, DT, Georgia
(Vaccaro, S; Thomas, OLB) BJ Raji is a free agent after this season, and if the Packers don't resign him, they'd be smart to draft someone early that can fight for his spot

24 - TB: Charles Sims, RB, Houston
(Rhodes, CB; Aboushi, OT) Dallas Clark has played exceptionally well this season, but the Bucs need another TE. Sims is a big kid that adds value as a run blocker and receiver

25 - ATL: Travis Frederick, C, Wisconsin
(Montgomery, DE; Lacy, HB) Peter Konz was added last year as a stop-gap guard and eventual successor for McClure. That would leave a hole at guard that could be filled by Frederick

26 - MIA: Cyril Richardson, OT, Baylor
(from CHI) The Dolphins need to add a guard to their roster that can fight for the RG position. Richardson has good value here

27 - BAL: Kenny Stills, WR, Oklahoma
(Reid, FS; Minter, MLB) The Ravens need a #3 WR, and someone that can eventually replace Anquan Boldin. Stills is a top player on the board, and would give Flacco another solid target

28 - NE: Denard Robinson, RB, Michigan
(Ansah, DE; Poyer, CB) The Patriots love versatile players, and Robinson is one of the most versatile in this class. They need a deep threat WR, which he could definitely become, and would give them added depth at QB

29 - NYG: Alvin Bailey, OG, Arkansas
(Jordan, DE; Reed, TE) The Giants add o-line depth, and get a player that can fight for the LG or RT position next year

30 - DEN: Andre Ellington, RB, Clemson
(Elam, SS; Short, DT) McGahee went down with another serious injury, likely spelling out the end of his career. Ellington is a good pick here, and gives them another explosive HB

31 - SF: Duke Williams, FS, Nevada
The 49ers need to replace one or both of their safeties this offseason. Williams has good potential to take one of their roles early in his career

32 - HOU: Shayne Skov, ILB, Stanford
(Austin, WR; Holmes, C) The Texans certainly miss Demeco Ryans, especially after the injury to Cushing. Skov would give them a hard-nosed run stopper that will compliment Cushing nicely when he returns
