PICK NO.
1
LUKE JOECKEL OTTEXAS A&M
Yes, Joeckel's being challenged for the No. 1 spot, but he's still the guy at this point to supplement the Alex Smith acquisition.
PICK NO.
2
ERIC FISHER OTCENTRAL MICHIGAN
There's a big need for a pass rusher in Jacksonville -- what else is new? -- but this riser will help struggling young QB Blaine Gabbert.
PICK NO.
3
SHARRIF FLOYD DTFLORIDA
Tremendous season, tremendous NFL Scouting Combine. The Raiders get a building block who will make plays.
PICK NO.
4
LANE JOHNSON OTOKLAHOMA
Johnson's athleticism wowed at the combine. He's an excellent fit in Philly, with the expected tempo change on offense under Chip Kelly.
PICK NO.
5
DEE MILLINER CBALABAMA
Milliner quieted speed concerns at the combine. The Lions need guys to cover NFC receiver threats.
PICK NO.
6
JARVIS JONES OLBGEORGIA
Questions abound with Jones' neck, but once he clears medical hurdles, look out. This is the best edge pass rusher in the 2013 NFL Draft.
PICK NO.
7
GENO SMITH QBWEST VIRGINIA
Another fresh start in Arizona. New head coach Bruce Arians begins his tenure with a quarterback he can build around ... and win with.
PICK NO.
8
CHANCE WARMACK OGALABAMA
There's some sentiment for a quarterback or wide receiver here, but the guard from Alabama improves the pass and run games. Warmack's one of the best overall players in this draft class.
PICK NO.
9
DION JORDAN DEOREGON
After shoulder surgery, Jordan will need to get bigger and stronger, but his versatility and speed will help Gang Green in a big way.
PICK NO.
10
JONATHAN COOPER OGNORTH CAROLINA
Another top-level offensive lineman who will help a young QB get comfortable by creating space for Chris Johnson, who's hungry for another CJ2K season.
PICK NO.
11
STAR LOTULELEI DTUTAH
Lotulelei had a heart-condition scare in Indianapolis, and NFL teams will await the results of further testing. If everything checks out, the Chargers get an active, versatile front man.
PICK NO.
12
CORDARRELLE PATTERSON WRTENNESSEE
A crying need meets its match. The Dolphins lack a dynamic playmaker on the perimeter, and Mr. Patterson fills that role.
PICK NO.
13
XAVIER RHODES CBFLORIDA ST.
Rhodes is the long, big corner (6-foot-1 1/2, 210 pounds) that Tampa has been seeking to fill the hole vacated by Aqib Talib.
PICK NO.
14
SHELDON RICHARDSON DTMISSOURI
A gifted defensive tackle who can play defensive end (and was even used as a linebacker at times at Missouri). The Panthers need a playmaking DT.
PICK NO.
15
BARKEVIOUS MINGO DELSU
The Saints have a new defensive coordinator for the third time in three years. Rob Ryan will turn "KeKe" loose, making life difficult for opposing quarterbacks.
---very solid mock IMO

Pat Kirwan who's pretty well respected-
1. Kansas City -- Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama: I put Lane Johnson in this spot last week and got calls from two NFL offensive line coaches that said he's the No. 2 OT, not the top OT. The Chiefs agreed on a trade for Smith and franchised Albert, which means the Alabama corner creeps up into the top of the draft.
2. Jacksonville -- Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan: The Jaguars may debate Luke Joeckel at this spot, but Fisher seems like the offensive line coaches' choice. They may debate Sharrif Floyd , the defensive tackle out of Florida.
3. Oakland -- Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida: Richard Seymour isn't coming back and Tommy Kelly could be gone for cap reasons. Floyd has emerged as the top DT in the draft.
4. Philadelphia -- Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M: The Eagles should take a long hard look at Geno Smith but they will come back around for a guy like EJ Manuel. Todd Herremans told me he's ready to go back to guard if the team gets a big-time tackle.
5. Detroit -- Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU: "Ziggy" has the best upside of the pass rushing defensive ends, and without Avril or VandenBosch the Lions need Ansah.
6. Cleveland -- Dion Jordan, OLB, Oregon: The Browns will look at the two quarterbacks on the board but Norv Turner will convince them Brandon Weeden is good enough, at least until they get to the second or third round.
7. Arizona -- Matt Barkley, QB, USC: I don't care about what happened with Matt Leinart in Arizona, this team needs a QB in the draft and Barkley has tons of experience in what Bruce Arians wants to do.
8. Buffalo -- Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia: The Bills GM has already said the team needs a QB. Pass on Smith here and the team will never see anyone like him in the second round.
9. New York Jets -- Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSU: The Jets have no one that can really rush the passer. Others will be considered for this spot, and it may be Jordan or Jarvis Jones , but I like Mingo, at least today.
10. Tennessee -- Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah: The guy plays sideline to sideline. He is a force on the inside, and the Titans are starving for this kind of player.
11. San Diego -- Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma: Lane should go higher in the draft but the Chargers are fortunate he falls to them at this point. The former QB, DE and TE has elite athletic ability for the position.
12. Miami -- Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee: The Dolphins have the cap room to solve the wide receiver issue in free agency, which eliminates Patterson. For now it's the Tennessee wide receiver.
13. Tampa Bay -- Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State: No-brainer with this pick: a Florida guy at a position of great need. Rhodes could play safety as well as corner, and the Bucs need help at both spots.
14. Carolina -- Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri: The Panthers need interior defensive line help, and the team is capable of taking the best defensive tackle on the board.
15. New Orleans -- Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia: The Saints are converting to a 3-4 defense and they have "take it or leave it" offers to Will Smith and Jonathan Vilma . At least one guy says leave it, and Jones is in play.
