2013 1st Round NFL Mock Draft

I hate mock drafts.  Why?  Because NFL teams love to leak information that only serves the purpose of a smoke-screen, leaving the "Experts" not really experts at all.  Last years most accurate "Expert" 1st rd. mock draft included 12, yes 12, correct picks.  So don't get upset if you don't see the player of your choice projected in your favorite teams spot because chances are, whatever "mock" you take most stock in will be 66.6% incorrect.  But have fun with them, because one thing mock drafts do highlight is current trends in the NFL as well as teams most pressing needs.  I tried to stay away from the pre-draft gossip going around the league and focus on a combination of team need, best player available and recent trends in the NFL.  Enjoy.


Few quick hits:

No Qb's - In my eyes, none of them are worthy of a top 15 pick and after pick 13 (Jets) no team has a need for a starting QB.

No Trades - It's hard enough trying to educatedly guess where each player will be picked.

Prediction - My strong thought is no Qb's will be drafted in the top 15.  This will lead to many teams attempting to trade up from the 2nd rd into the late 1st to grab their QB of choice (Jax, Oak, Buf, Philly, Cleveland, NYJ and Arizona).  I think things will get crazy around 10:04 tomorrow night.
