This is my first mock draft I have posted on MtD. Constructive criticism is appreciated. Tell me what you think. I do have trades in my mock draft, I did not use any draft value chart as I use future picks, because no Draft Pick Value Chart has future picks. Tell me what you think of the format (tell me if it is too hard to read. I'll try to make it better next time so bear with me please).
I forgot about the Demeco Ryans trade, and have now fixed the mock draft with the trade.

FIRST ROUND
|
|
Reasoning for pick and trades
|
||||
|
1 -
|
|
Andrew Luck
|
|
QB
|
Stanford
|
Easy one here. Peyton era ends, the Luck era starts. |
|
2 -
|
|
Robert Griffin III
|
|
QB
|
Baylor
|
Washington breaks the bank for the second best QB in the draft.
|
|
3 -
|
|
Matt Kalil
|
|
OT
|
USC
|
Vikings get a guy who might be the top pick in some drafts.
|
|
4 -
|
|
Justin Blackmon
|
|
WR
|
OKST
|
TRADE: JAX 1st, 2nd, & 2013 2nd for CLE 1st - Jags move up for Blackmon |
|
5 -
|
|
Morris Claiborne
|
|
CB
|
LSU
|
Claiborne is probably the best defensive player in the draft, Bucs get him to help their poor pass D |
|
6 -
|
Saint Louis Rams
|
Riley Reiff
|
|
OT
|
Iowa
|
Gotta keep Bradford up, Reiff can do just that. |
|
7 -
|
|
Trent Richardson
|
|
RB
|
Alabama
|
TRADE: JAX 1st, 2nd, & 2013 2nd for CLE 1st - Browns trade down, take who they would of at four, and get two more second round picks. |
|
8 -
|
|
Ryan Tannehill
|
|
QB
|
Texas A&M
|
Mike Sherman compared Tannehill to Andy Dalton with a better arm, Mike Sherman was the HC at Texas A&M, now he is the Phins OC now. |
|
9 -
|
|
Quinton Coples
|
|
DE
|
UNC
|
Coplesis a perfect fit for the Panthers, if he reaches his upside we get a elite pass rusher and a top notch run-stopper, when we need both. |
|
10 -
|
|
Jonathan Martin
|
|
OT
|
Stanford
|
Buffalo is hoping that Fitzy has a good year with nice LT blocking for him. Would of went with Ingram here, but I feel he is a much better OLB than DE |
|
11 -
|
|
David DeCastro
|
|
OG
|
Stanford
|
Fill one of their biggest needs. DeCastro will start right away to block for Charles and Hillis (and maybe their new QB?)
|
|
12 -
|
|
Luke Kuechly
|
|
MLB
|
Boston College
|
Seattle takes the best LB in the draft, hoping to make their run defense top notch
|
|
13 -
|
|
Melvin Ingram
|
|
OLB
|
South Carolina
|
They need two things: Pass rush and OL. They get one when the other is gone.
|
|
14 -
|
|
Fletcher Cox
|
|
DT
|
Mississippi State
|
TRADE: DAL 1st for TEN 1st & 2nd - Titans move up for the best DT in the draft
|
|
15 -
|
Cleveland Browns
|
Michael Floyd
|
|
WR
|
Notre Dame
|
TRADE: CLE 1st (via ATL) & 2nd (via MIA) for PHI 1st & 4th - Browns trade again, and grab WR that will hopefully fix their awful WR corp
|
|
16 -
|
|
Courtny Upshaw
|
|
OLB
|
Alabama
|
Rex Ryan gets one of the best pass rushing OLBs in the draft. A position of need and BPA (IMO)
|
|
17 -
|
Cincinnati Bengals
|
Cordy Glenn
|
|
OG
|
Georgia
|
Cincy needs two guards, they get the second best guard in the draft.
|
|
18 -
|
|
Nick Perry
|
|
OLB
|
USC
|
Pass rush was not a bright spot for the Bolts last year, hopefully USC's very own Nick Perry can fix that.
|
|
19 -
|
|
Kendall Wright
|
|
WR
|
Baylor
|
The Bears need two different WRs, a tall one and a deep threat. Marshall is the tall WR and Wright is the deep threat. Bears offense will be scary if they get a good OL-men
|
|
20 -
|
|
Peter Konz
|
|
C
|
Wisconsin
|
TRADE: DAL 1st for TEN 1st & 2nd - Dallas trades down and takes the best center in the draft
|
|
21 -
|
Cincinnati Bengals
|
Janoris Jenkins
|
|
CB
|
Florida
|
Jenkins, from a talent standpoint, is a top ten pick. But he has so many off-the-field issues it should keep him out of the top fifteen. Bengals need a CB and Jenkins is there guy.
|
|
22 -
|
|
Alshon Jeffrey
|
|
WR
|
South Carolina
|
TRADE: CLE 1st (via ATL) & 2nd (via MIA) for PHI 1st & 4th - Eagles trade down so they can get a good end-zone threat and jump up from their 4th to Miami's 2nd. Jeffery is expected to be a first rounder after his pro-day
|
|
23 -
|
|
Stehpon Gilmore
|
|
CB
|
South Carolina
|
Jeffery wasn't the only Gamecock at South Carolina's pro-day, Gilmore looked really good at the pro-day and, according to Mick Mayock, became the second best CB in the draft. Passed on Kirkpatrick because I feel he is slightly overrated.
|
|
24 -
|
|
Dont'a Hightower
|
|
ILB
|
Alabama
|
Steelers get Hightower who should start right away at ILB. Great for both sides because Highotwer played ILB in Alabama's 3-4 defense |
|
25 -
|
|
Michael Brockers
|
|
DT
|
LSU
|
Most will view Brockers falling here as a steal. DT is a big need for Denver so this shouldn't require much thought.
|
|
26 -
|
|
Shephen Hill
|
|
WR
|
Georgia Tech
|
Houston makes sure you don't only focus on Foster and AJ, now they bring in a good tall deep threat.
|
|
27 -
|
|
Whitney Mercilus
|
|
DE
|
Illinois
|
Patriots need pass rush, badly. 20 of their sacks came from two DEs that are over the age of 30, and both are FAs (one left for elsewhere other is still un-signed).
|
|
28 -
|
|
Dre Kirkpatrick
|
|
CB
|
Alabama
|
Packers take the BPA and fill a need at CB |
|
29 -
|
|
Mark Barron |
|
SS
|
Alabama |
Baltimore gets youth on the defense and their future star saftey |
|
30 -
|
|
Rueben Randle |
|
WR
|
LSU
|
49ers signed Mario Manningham and Randy Moss, yet they still need another WR. Moss will be the 4th stringer. |
|
31 -
|
Indianapolis Colts
|
Coby Fleener
|
|
TE
|
Stanford
|
TRADE: IND 2nd & 2013 3rd for NEP 1st - Colts trade up to keep the Luck-to-Fleener connection going.
|
|
32 -
|
|
Devon Still
|
|
DT
|
Penn State
|
Giants love taking defensive line, not many would expect Still to fall this far, but the Giants take him and are very happy.
