costrander3689's Mock Draft (Round 3)

1 - JAX: Cornellius Carradine, DE, Florida State
(Smith, QB; Thomas, LB) The Jaguars take the best DE on the board here. Carradine and Babin will be a formidable DE tandem

2 - KC: Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington
(Wilson, QB; S.Williams, DT) The Chiefs need a #2 CB to pair with Flowers. Trufant is a tall, fast CB that should translate nicely into the NFL

3 - OAK: Landry Jones, QB, Oklahoma
(Te'o, MLB) He has struggled this season, but came on strong to finish it out. He was a KSU loss away from another BCS game, and if he falls this far, the Raiders will be thrilled

4 - SF: Brandon Jenkins, DE, Florida State
(from CAR)(Reid, FS; Gilbert, CB) The 49ers get a powerful pass rusher to pair with Aldon Smith. If Jenkins can get back to full health, he'll be the steal of the draft

5 - PHI: Marquess Wilson, WR, Washington State
(Joeckel, OT; Poyer, CB) The Eagles need some taller WRs to pair with Maclin and Jackson. Wilson is a tall kid that Foles will absolutely be able to take advantage of

6 - ARI: John Simon, DE, Ohio State
(Lewan, OT; Bray, QB) The Cardianals get a pass rusher to help their defense. Simon has good value here, and gives them a much needed pass rusher

7 - CLE: Da'Rick Rogers, WR, Tennessee Tech
(J.Jones, LB) The Browns get Weeden a real weapon here. They should dump Little and Massaquoi and move forward with Gordon, Rogers and Benjamin as their 1,2 and 3

8 - TEN: Larry Warford, OG, Kentucky
(Werner, DE; Jefferson, FS) The Titans take the top player on the board here, and get a strong run blocker to solidify their interior o-line

9 - SD: Nickell Robey, CB, USC
(Matthews, OT; Hopkins, WR) Cason and Jammer could both be gone after this season. The Chargers would be smart to nab Robey here as a possible replacement for one of them

10 - DET: Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU
(Milliner, CB; Fluker, OT) Avril and Vanden Bosch will both be free agents after this season. Ansah could go as high as the 1st round, but i think teams will be scared off by his really low floor

11 - NYJ: Stedman Bailey, WR, West Virginia
(Jordan, LB; Nassib, QB) The Jets need to find more weapons for their new QB. Bailey has been an unheralded playmaker behind Austin for WVU, and should be a really good NFL slot WR

12 - BUF: Michael Buchanan, DE, Illinois
(Barkley, QB; Woods, WR) The Bills need to get someone better than Mark Anderson to pair with Mario Williams. Buchanan has been really solid at Illinois, and will be a good fit in Buffalo

13 - MIA: Datone Jones, DE, UCLA
(Fisher, OT; T.Williams, WR; Ertz, TE) The Dolphins need another pass rushing DE to pair with Cameron Wake. Jones has been good this year, and should be a early mid-round pick

14 - STL: Cyril Richardson, OT, Baylor
(Warmack, OG; Richardson, DT; Eifert, TE) With no WRs worth taking, the Rams go for a RT. Warmack and Richardson will immediately make this offense better

15 - NO: Bennie Logan, DT, LSU
(Moore, DE) The Saints add another d-lineman here. Moore and Logan should both start next season and make this unit much better

16 - MIN: Terry Hawthorne, CB, Illinois
(Hankins, DT; Patterson, WR) Antoine Winfield will be 36 next season. That's not good news for Minnesota, as he's their best CB. Hawthorne has a good skill set, and should translate well into the NFL

17 - WAS: Sean Porter, OLB, Texas A&M
(Rhodes, CB) Orakpo was lost for the season, and Kerrigan for a chunk of it. Without pass rushers, this defense really struggled. Porter would give them some extra security and depth at the position

18 - DAL: EJ Manuel, QB, Florida State
(Mingo, LB; L.Johnson, OT) The Cowboys should be looking for a developmental QB behind Romo. If he goes down, Orton is a capable backup, but he is not the future of the position

19 - TB: Charles Sims, RB, Houston
(Banks, CB; Floyd, DT) Dallas Clark has been really good for Freeman this year, but he's not going to be around for long. Sims would be an excellent player for this offense because of his size and willingness to block

20 - CIN: Shayne Skov, ILB, Stanford
(Vaccaro, S; Cooper, OG; Bernard, HB) Rey Maluga has really struggled this year at MLB. Skov could be an upgrade over him, or a good insurance policy if Votaze Burfict regresses to his old behavior

21 - IND: Trevardo Williams, OLB, Connecticut
(J.Jenkins, NT) The Colts need an OLB that can rush opposing QBs. Williams has been a beast for a good UConn defense, and should be a nice replacement for Freeney or Mathis

22 - PIT: Mike Glennon, QB, North Carolina State
(Mosley, LB; Short, DT) The Steelers should look for a QB in rounds 2-4. I think Glennon has a bright future because of his size, arm strength and poise in the pocket

23 - NYG: Jordan Reed, TE, Florida
(Amerson, CB; Greene, LB) The Giants take the best player on the board, and add a receiving threat at TE

24 - SEA: Cornelius Washington, OLB, Georgia
(Allen, WR; Aboushi, OT) The Seahawks need an OLB to pair with Wagner and Wright. Washington is a big kid

25 - SF: Khaled Holmes, C, USC
The 49ers need to find a new center, as Goodwin will be 36 next season.

26 - MIA: Travis Frederick, C, Wisconsin
(from CHI) The Dolphins should be looking to replace Incognito at LG. Frederick is underrated, and has good value here

27 - DEN: Stepfan Taylor, RB, Stanford
(J.Williams, DT; Byndom, CB) The Broncos need a powerful HB to compliment the speed of Moreno and Hillman. Taylor has been a big part of Stanford's recent success

28 - BAL: Jared Abbrederis, WR, Wisconsin
(Ogletree, LB; McDonald, S) The Ravens need another WR to buff up their passing game. Boldin is slowing down, and Abbrederis would be a good replacement for him

29 - GB: Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon
(B.Jones, OL; Lemonier, OLB) The Packers get their playmaking HB here. Barner should help in both the running and passing game

30 - NE: Robert Lester, SS, Alabama
(Montgomery, DE; McFadden, CB) The Patriots have been missing a hard hitting safety since Rodney Harrison retired. Lester is a steal here, and will nicely compliment McCourty

31 - ATL: Gabe Jackson, OG, Mississippi State
(Okafor, DE; Lacy, HB) The Falcons picked up Konz last year to replace McClure at center. Jackson will be a really good pick to take his spot at RG

32 - HOU: Rick Wagner, OT, Wisconsin
(Austin, WR; Rambo, FS) The Texans finally get a replacment for Eric Winston. Wagner has excellent value here, gives them another reliable o-lineman
