The first round of the 2013 NFL Draft starts in 10 minutes, a few thoughts...Expect lots of O-linemen in the top 10. The Raiders (yeah the Raiders) are the key to trading into the top 10. If a big trade happens it will happen with them first!
Picks:
No one cares about these old guys...well maybe Euge does, but that's it. Let's get this thing started!!!!
What's taking the Chiefs so long??? They know who they're going to pick, run the damn ticket up already!
1. Kansas City - With the First Pick the Chiefs smoke-screened the smoke-screen of saying they were taking Fisher and actually take Fisher. Eric Fisher - OT - CMU
I bet Jacksonville screws with everyone and picks Dee Milliner from Alabama. Well that's who I hope they pick if only to cause all kinds of confusion with the rest of the picks.
2. Jacksonville - BOO! Jacksonville went scratch and picked Luke Joeckel, BORING!!!! - Luke Joeckel - OT - Texas A&M
Raiders taking this down to the wire...probably trying to trade out, but with who???
3. Miami (from Oakland) - Miami trades up to #3! Just like in the ESPN Blogger Mock Draft ONLY in the Blogger Mock Miami took Lane Johnson - OT - Oklahoma and now surprises EVERYONE and take Dion Jordan. Dion Jordan - DE/OLB - Oregon
Miami sends Oakland the 12th and 42nd pick for the 3rd pick. I think the Raiders should've gotten more.
The Eagles are taking this down to the wire too...Are they trading??
Nope! The Eagles pick is in, I'm guessing it's Lane Johnson.
4. Philadelphia - And as I suspected it is Lane Johnson - OT - Oklahoma.
Detroit on the clock. I wonder who they're going to take...I'm guessing either CB or DE, but most likely DE since they don't have any! Or will they be the second team to trade down?
5. Detroit - Barry Sanders aka Madden 2013 Cover guy, announcing the Lions pick. Detroit goes scratch on their pick. Ezediel Ansah - DE - BYU
The Browns are another possible big trade point. They could go crazy and take Geno Smith, or do a smart thing and trade down. If they keep the pick expect some *POP POP* with them picking Tavon Austin. Pick is in let's see if I'm right or very very wrong.
6. Cleveland - Well Cleveland does not go Magnitude on the draft. They select a really good pass rusher for their 3-4 D and the guy with the best name in the draft! Barkevious Mingo - DE/OLB - LSU
Let's see if Arizona is going to make another stupid draft pick, like Levi Brown over Adrian Peterson in '07. They SHOULD go with Warmack or Cooper and solidify the O-line. Let's see...
7. Arizona - The Cardinals make a smart choice to solidify their O-Line, not that it matters since they still have to play the 49ers. Jonathan Cooper - G - UNC
Schefter just reported a trade between the Bills and Rams. I'm guessing Tavon Austin is the pick.
8. Rams (From Buffalo) - The pick is Tavon Austin. I must implore the other NFC West teams to STOP GETTING BETTER! You must not have gotten the memo that the 49ers are winning the Superbowl this year. Tavon Austin - WR - WVU
I feel bad for the Jets. They don't get the WR they wanted, or the pass-rusher they wanted (Mingo). Do they go CB and Milliner, or OLB and Jarvis Jones? I also feel bad for the Jets fans who have to endure taking a TE in the top 15. Likely Eifert at 13.
9. New York Jets - And the Jets replace Revis with Dee Milliner. Why did ESPN show Milliner getting beat by Eifert? This is probably the best case scenario for the Jets with Tavon Austin gone. Dee Milliner - CB - Alabama
We're getting near the time where the 49ers could trade up. I really hope Shariff Floyd sticks around for 3 or 4 more picks. The 49ers getting him or Kenny Vaccaro be AWESOME!
10. Tennessee - The Titans could've gone a few different ways, but decide to go with a G. Their hopes are to make a dominant OL with Roos, and Levitre there already, they are on their way! Chance Warmack - G - Alabama
Chargers are intriguing because the could trade down, select the best CB, T, or OLB.
AHHHHHHHHHH Star Trek trailer....DON'T WATCH RYAN!!!!
Yes I just spoke to myself in an online blog...
11. San Diego - 3 Alabama players gone in a row!!! Crazy! The Chargers get a good RT and Phillip Rivers is probably happy. D.J. Fluker - OT - Alabama
Oakland on the clock again. Many mocks had them taking Shariff Floyd at #3. Will he be the pick, or will the Raiders go a different direction?
12. Oakland (From Miami)- Oakland with a semi-surprise and picking up a CB. If this kid is healthy and stays healthy I think he ends up the best CB in this draft. D.J. Hayden - CB - Houston
I have a feeling the Jets fans at Radio City Music Hall are about to rain down BOOs with this next pick...No matter what they do!
Jets almost pull a Minnesota Vikings and run out of time.
Alice needs to hurry up and get back with dinner..I'm starvin like Marvin gurrrrlllll!
13. New York Jets (from Tampa Bay) - And the BOO birds are out! Why they are taking another DT/DE is beyond me. I think they panicked! Sheldon Richardson - DT - Missouri
Panthers waste NO TIME in getting their card up. There must be someone they really really like. I'm thinking DT like Star Lotuleilei or Shariff Floyd.
14. Carolina - Panthers pick Lotuleilei...a scratch pick from a bunch of mock drafts.
15. New Orleans - Surprise pick by the Saints picking the top Safety on the board instead of a pass rusher. Kenny Vaccaro - S - Texas
What are the Bills going to do??? Schefter is saying it is QB - E.J. Manuel. Will he be the first QB off the board? That would be NUTS!
16. Buffalo (From St. Louis) - E.J. FREAKING Manuel. This is why the Bills suck! Taking the 3rd or 4th best QB with a 2nd round grade in the first. Sorry Bills Fans! E.J. Manuel - QB - Florida State
Steelers pick is in quick! They must really really like someone there!
17. Pittsburgh - The Steelers keep bringing in these young LBs to take over for the old LBs. Bye bye James Harrison, hello Mr. Jones. James Jones - OLB - Georgia
HOLY CRAP! 49ers trade up!
18. San Francisco (From Dallas) - This is a curious trade up. I could see a trade up for Shariff Floyd, but for this safety he could've been there at 31, or someone nearly as good. Needless to say I don't like this pick. Eric Reid - S - LSU
Giants are up and Shariff Floyd still on the board. G-Men love to pick up the d-line. Talking heads think it's Te'o.
19. New York Giants - G-Men surprise everyone! They go O-Line and not D-line. Keeping up the streak of not drafting a LB in the 1st round. Justin Pugh - T/G - Syracuse
Oh just in case anyone was wondering...Alice got home with the food around the Saints pick. MMMMM Chipotle!
20. Chicago - Wow, a little reach here for Da' Bears. I know they need help on the O-line but with a lot of defensive talent still on the board this is a little surprising. Kyle Long - G - Oregon
Bengals send the card in pretty quick. They could go a bunch of different ways. I doubt they take Floyd, or Eifert. They may go with a Safety like John Cyprien from FIU. I'm curious about what this pick is going to be.
21. Cincinnati - HEAD SCRATCHER! They have Jermaine Gresham already. While this pick is puzzling, it isn't a bad pick for Whodey nation. Tyler Eifert - TE - Notre Dame
Atlanta trades up with the Rams. The Rams get a 3rd and 6th plus the first round swap. This is either a CB or DE.
22. Atlanta (From St. Louis via Washington) - CB it is! I'm so smart, SMRT, I mean smart! Desmond Trufant - CB - Washington
Minnesota quick with the pick. Are we in Bust Zo...err Manti Te'o's fake girl...err Manti Te'o zone? Or do they go WR. It's one of those!
I'm loving the military salute! I'm super proud to be a Veteran! Next year let the Vets make the picks!
23. Minnesota - Shariff Floyd is FINALLY picked. I was wrong on my prognostication, but the second best D-Tackle is off the board. Shariff Floyd - DT - Florida
Teams are getting their picks in quick! Colts pick is in! I'll take another stab at guessing and say this is a CB.
24. Indianapolis - Wrong again! The Colts take the guy with the second best name in the draft. Could be a J.J. Watt type guy or a good 3-4 OLB pass rusher. Bjoern Werner - DE - Florida State
Alice would like the world to know the Vikings are STUPID! Also their pick is in.
25. Minnesota (from Seattle) - Two Florida State guys in a rowThey pick up a CB which is a huge need considering Antoine Winfield left. Again Alice thinks they are dumb. Xavier Rhoades - CB - Florida State
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Green Bay's pick is in! Picks are coming Fast and Furious. GO SEE FAST 6 by the way (c'mon you don't get cooler than a car crashing through an exploding plane!)
Quit talking Kiper!
26. Green Bay - Packers really liked this guy or so I heard(from ESPN). Alice did like she normally does with large black football players with the last name Jones and asked if we were related to him. I had to inform her that I was not black and we were not related. The disappointment on her face was very disheartening. Datone Jones - DT/DE - UCLA
My guess for Houston is a WR. Hopefully I don't strike out!
27. Houston - Whew. I hit a single. Houston gets their #2 WR. Many different WRs that could've gone, but Houston gets a burner. DeAndre Hopkins - WR - Clemson
Schefter just said the Vikings are trying to trade up for a BUST! Why give up so many picks for someone who doesn't seem like he'll pan out?
28. Denver - The Broncos make a pretty formidable defense a little better with a nice DT. Sylvester Williams - DT - UNC
And the Patriots take advantage of the weak minded Vikings and probably grab the rest of the Vikings draft picks because Bill Belicheat is that smart.
29. Vikings (From New England) - The most raw and second most explosive WR in the draft. Cordarelle Patterson - WR - Tennessee.
I think Frank Caliendo just took Gruden's spot for a moment. What kind of nonsense was he just babbling about?
3 picks left. Rams are up and the pick is in. I think it's Eddie Lacey from Alabama.
30. St. Louis (From Atlanta) - No RB! A really good LB though. STOP PICKING WELL! Alec Ogletree - LB - Georgia
Dallas has their pick in lickety split! They're going S, DT, or T. Bet on them.
31. Dallas (From San Francisco) - REACH!!!! This guy has a late 2nd, early 3rd round grade and he goes in the first? Jerry Jones needs to step down as GM. Travis Frederick - C - Wisconson
32. Baltimore - This pick came SUPER QUICK! Matt Elam - S - Florida
The first round went pretty quick, there were some real surprises (E.J. Manuel) and one very bad reach (Dallas). Thanks for keeping up everyone!
