Other 2013 NFL Mock Drafts: Will Lomas | Nik Edlund
| Pk | Team | Name | School | Pos. | Ht | Wt | |
| 23. |  |
New York Jets | Damontre Moore | Texas A&M | OLB | 6’4 | 250 |
| Analysis: Between Maybin coming back to reality and Calvin Pace’s production starting to tail off, the Jets will be in the market for a game changing outside linebacker. Moore is a speedy athletic pass rusher who will cause problems for opposing quarterbacks. | |||||||
| 24. |  |
New York Giants | Tyler Eifert | Notre Dame | TE | 6’5 | 252 |
| Analysis: Bennett has been very solid in his 1st year as a Giant, the only problem is he only signed a 1 year deal. If Bennett is 1 and done in New York it will leave a sizeable hole to fill. Eifert would be a good fit for the Giants and Mannings offense. | |||||||
| 25. |  |
New England Patriots | Jesse Williams | Alabama | NT | 6’3 | 320 |
| Analysis: Vince Wilfork is over 30 and the cupboard is pretty bare behind him. Williams is a big bodied run stuffer who could see his stock rise as draft day approaches. Although Williams is a bigman he has the ability to play anywhere along the line. | |||||||
| 26. |  |
Arizona Cardinals | Eric Fisher | Central Michigan | OT | 6’7 | 305 |
| Analysis: The Cardinals can’t seem to keep a quarterback healthy long enough to actually see if either is capable of being an NFL quarterback. Look for the Cards to go offensive line early and often in 2013. We have watched Central Michigan produce talented NFL lineman in the past and Fisher is no different. | |||||||
| 27. |  |
Minnesota Vikings | Barrett Jones | Alabama | G | 6’4 | 305 |
| Analysis: Minnesota has a handful of needs but if a guy like Jones falls to them in the 20′s they need to bite. Minnesota has Charlie Johnson and Fusco/Schwartz as their current guard rotation. Needless to say Jones would be a huge improvement. | |||||||
| 28. |  |
San Francisco 49ers | Eric Reid | LSU | S | 6’2 | 212 |
| Analysis: San Fran still has one of the best defenses in the NFL but it is becoming clear that the safety position is a weakspot. Reid has watched his stock drop a bit this year but is still one of the best defensive backs in the group. | |||||||
| 29. |  |
Chicago Bears | CJ Mosely | Alabama | LB | 6’2 | 232 |
| Analysis: Chicago still has one of the best defenses in the league. But it is getting to the point where they need a shot of youth in the linebacking corp. With both Urlacher and Lance Briggs over 30 it makes sense to bring in a youngster to get a year or 2 of know lege from them. | |||||||
| 30. |  |
Baltimore Ravens | Alec Ogletree | Georgia | LB | 6’3 | 232 |
| Analysis: Even if Ray Lewis decides to come back it is more than overdue to find his long term replacement. Ogletree is an athletic converted safety who is a bit raw but has the potential to be a probowl caliber inside backer. | |||||||
| 31. |  |
Houston Texans | DeAndre Hopkins | Clemson | WR | 6’1 | 200 |
| Analysis: Does it sound crazy to anyone else that Andre Johnson is 32 years old? He still has a little gas in the tank but his best years are behind him. Houston spent a few picks in 2012 addressing receiver but will most likely invest early yet again on a future replacement. | |||||||
| 32. |  |
Atlanta Falcons | Alex Okafor | Texas | DE | 6’5 | 265 |
| Analysis: The Falcons have John Abraham who isn’t getting any younger and Ray Edwards who hasn’t really panned out as well as they had hoped. In a draft full of defensive end Atlanta could get great value even late in round 1. Okafor is very well rounded and does everything very well. | |||||||
Jets at 22 HA HA HA HA HA !!!!!!
Cardinals at 26? Jets at 23?
