re: 2013 NFL Draft -- Saints Mock Draft Compliation

kffl

1
Kansas City Chiefs Luke Joeckel
OT
Texas A&M Still may go with Joeckel even if Branden Albert returns. The Alex Smith deal ensures Geno Smith will not be the pick. Dee Milliner has an outside shot, but Joeckel makes the most sense.
2
Jacksonville Jaguars Dee Milliner
CB
Alabama Cornerbacks rarely go this early in a draft, but Milliner may be the exception to the rule, particularly given Jacksonville's needs.
3
Oakland Raiders Sharrif Floyd
DT
Florida DT is a big need, as is stopping the run: a perfect marriage. OAK has to address defense first, especially the front seven.
4
Philadelphia Eagles Eric Fisher
OT
Central Michigan Regardless of what Chip Kelly does at QB, someone has to protect the passer. Fisher is the best remaining man for the job.
5
Detroit Lions Damontre Moore
DE
Texas A&M Detroit has facing a crisis situation at defensive end, and Moore's beastly ability could be felt immediately in Motown. Ignore his poor Combine and wait for Pro Day results.
6
Cleveland Browns Ezekiel Ansah
DE/OLB
Brigham Young The Browns are making the switch to 3-4 ... again. QB could be an option here, but I doubt it. The defense needs pass-rushing help in a major way.
7
Arizona Cardinals Geno Smith
QB
West Virginia Barely a first-round talent, in my opinion, Smith will go in this area because of the dearth of talent at the position.
8
Buffalo Bills Cordarrelle Patterson
WR
Tennessee Chance Warmack makes sense if Andy Levitre leaves. Doug Marrone's offense will have Sean Payton likeness, and could use a big-time playmaker opposite Stevie Johnson.
9
New York Jets Dion Jordan
OLB
Oregon Jordan has been soaring up draft boards and should be in consideration for this pick, at the very least. NYJ could opt for a WR, as well.
10
Tennessee Titans Chance Warmack
OG
Alabama The best interior lineman in the draft should bolster this line that is in need of an upgrade between the tackles.
11
San Diego Chargers Lane Johnson
OT
Oklahoma This is probably a reach, but the Chargers need help at both tackle positions, as well as guard, and cornerback. OLB could even be in the cards. Johnson is an athletic freak.
12
Miami Dolphins Sheldon Richardson
DT
Missouri LT will be the pick if someone worthy is available. DT needs a lot of work, WR could be addressed, as could cornerback. Many options for MIA.
13
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Desmond Trufant
CB
Washington Cornerback is argubly the biggest need for the Bucs right now, but defensive end could come into play with this pick. A deep DE class means they can hold off, however.
14
Carolina Panthers Star Lotulelei
DT
Utah Who knows what to expect until we know more about his health evaluations, but Carolina should be interested if Star is available. Look for WR to be in the equation, too.
15
New Orleans Saints Barkevious Mingo
OLB/DE
LSU Mingo will be asked to play rush linebacker in New Orleans' new 3-4 alignment. They have a pro
