2013 NFL Live Mock Draft Round 3
April 25-27, 2013
April 25-27, 2013
| 63 | Kansas City |
 |
Travis Kelce Cincinnati TE Reach/Value: -33 |
Height: 6'5" Weight: 255 |
Alternate Pick #1 Terron Armstead Alternate Pick #2 Phillip Thomas |
| Like Tony Moeaki, Kelce can do it all. He is a strong in-line blocker who can catch. He was plagued by maturity issues early on, but seems to have straightened out. Is Moeaki/Kelce/Fasano KC's answer to Gronk and Hernandez? Grade: B |
| 64 | Jacksonville |
 |
Dwayne Gratz Connecticut CB Reach/Value: -16 |
Height: 5'11" Weight: 201 |
Alternate Pick #1 Damontre Moore Alternate Pick #2 Alex Okafor |
| Gratz can play off man or up in press and gives the Jags a body that they can utilize in their secondary rotation in a pass-heavy division. Grade: B+ |
| 65 | Detroit |
 |
Larry Warford Kentucky OG Reach/Value: +21 |
Height: 6'3" Weight: 332 |
Alternate Pick #1 Keenan Allen Alternate Pick #2 Terron Armstead |
| The Lions get a great value pick in Warford, who will bolster the depleted Lions' O-line. Warford didn't have the benefit of being surrounded by NFL-ready talent. He's a standout deserving of a shot at a starting role. Grade: A |
| 66 | Oakland |
 |
Sio Moore Connecticut OLB43 Reach/Value: +3 |
Height: 6'0" Weight: 245 |
Alternate Pick #1 Damontre Moore Alternate Pick #2 Jesse Williams |
| Moore fell a lot more than expected on Day 2 as few were predicting that he would be available here at number 66 for Oakland, so he's a good value in the Third Round. He projects as a guy that can help out rushing the passer, but will play more of a 4-3 OLB role. Good athlete that could develop to be a very productive NFL player. This would be an "A" if the Raiders didn't have such a D-Line need. Grade: B |
| 67 | Philadelphia |
 |
Bennie Logan LSU DT43 Reach/Value: -51 |
Height: 6'2" Weight: 309 |
Alternate Pick #1 Matt Barkley Alternate Pick #2 William Gholston |
| Logan was highly-regarded entering the 2012 season but failed to live up to the hype. Not sure how he fits into the Eagles' shifting defensive scheme; he's more of a 4-3 DT. In a three-man front he'll play the 5-tech, but his skills don't translate as well to that position. Grade: C |
| 68 | Cleveland |
 |
Leon McFadden San Diego State CB Reach/Value: -64 |
Height: 5'10" Weight: 193 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Keenan Allen |
| The need for a bookend CB for Joe Haden has led the Browns to Leon McFadden, the one-time receiver who is blessed with great ball skills. Good speed and a powerful, compact frame. A certain upgrade. Grade: B |
| 69 | Arizona |
 |
Tyrann Mathieu LSU CB Reach/Value: -22 |
Height: 5'8" Weight: 186 |
Alternate Pick #1 Terron Armstead Alternate Pick #2 Tyler Bray |
| Mathieu is more famous for his nickname and off-the-field issues now than for his football skills. He was a playmaker for LSU but moreso in the return game than on D. He is small and is likely destined for a nickel or dime role, in addition to his special teams play. Grade: B- |
| 70 | Tennessee |
 |
Blidi Wreh-Wilson Connecticut CB Reach/Value: -14 |
Height: 6'0" Weight: 195 |
Alternate Pick #1 Damontre Moore Alternate Pick #2 Alex Okafor |
| Great length and speed, with very good instincts. Can go mano a mano with big wideouts now prevelant in NFL. Secondary coach Brett Maxie will need to help coach him up on slants and routes underneath.Grade: B |
| 71 | St Louis |
 |
T.J. McDonald USC FS Reach/Value: -39 |
Height: 6'2" Weight: 219 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jesse Williams Alternate Pick #2 Phillip Thomas |
| If you can name any of the 4 Safeties at the top of the Rams' depth chart, then you can officially call yourself a "die-hard"! Adding T.J. McDonald will add some much-needed athleticism and coverage abilities to the back end of this defense. Grade: B |
| 72 | NY Jets |
 |
Brian Winters Kent State OG Reach/Value: -6 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 320 |
Alternate Pick #1 Alex Okafor Alternate Pick #2 Keenan Allen |
| One of my favorite Big Uglies, I wrote "Mean SOB" more than once on my grading cards at the Senior Bowl! He will bring a definite attitude to the Jets' OL and make the #1 offense/defense scrimmages increase in intensity! Grade: A |
| 73 | Tampa Bay |
 |
Mike Glennon North Carolina St QB Reach/Value: -3 |
Height: 6'7” Weight: 225 |
Alternate Pick #1 Damontre Moore Alternate Pick #2 Keenan Allen |
| A slight surprise here as the Bucs could have filled some other holes, but Glennon can spin the ball and should benefit from sitting behind Josh Freeman. This pick may pay dividends down the road. Grade: B |
| 74 | Dallas |
 |
Terrance Williams Baylor WRF Reach/Value: +9 |
Height: 6'2" Weight: 208 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jesse Williams Alternate Pick #2 Jonathan Jenkins |
| "#$%#%$&@#$%#", said Long Ball, throwing his glass of single malt against the wall. Both lines suck and Cuzzin Jerruh drafts a TE and WR. "Ya'll know I luv me some Glory Hole . . . and I always prefer the sizzle to the steak!" proclaims the Arkansas Hillbilly as he downs another drink! Grade: D |
| 75 | New Orleans |
 |
Terron Armstead Arkansas - PB ROT Reach/Value: +8 |
Height: 6'5" Weight: 306 |
Alternate Pick #1 Alex Okafor Alternate Pick #2 Jesse Williams |
| Armstead is a beast in the trenches. Fastest in the 40 among O-linemen at the Combine, Armstead will need to be coached up a bit, but could push for starting time at LOT. Grade: A |
| 76 | San Diego |
 |
Keenan Allen California WRF Reach/Value: +40 |
Height: 6'2" Weight: 206 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jesse Williams Alternate Pick #2 Jonathan Jenkins |
| Great value here as the former Golden Bear will be staying in-state with the Chargers. As great as the value of this pick looks to be, the Chargers are loaded with "possession-type" receivers in Floyd and Brown. Tough to knock this pick, though, regardless. Grade: A |
| 77 | Miami |
 |
Dallas Thomas Tennessee ROT Reach/Value: -22 |
Height: 6'5" Weight: 306 |
Alternate Pick #1 Phillip Thomas Alternate Pick #2 Brennan Williams |
| Don't see Thomas as a starting Tackle, but he'd make a starting RG. He's tough, balanced, and a workhorse, starting his final 37 games. Ireland ought to bite the bullet and sign Winston, slide Jonathan Martin out to LT and Thomas fits at RG. Grade: B |
| 78 | Buffalo |
 |
Marquise Goodwin Texas WRS Reach/Value: -33 |
Height: 5'9" Weight: 183 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Khaseem Greene |
| I sort of get it...you needed a slot guy like Swope, and you confused Marcus Wheaton with 5'9" Marquise "Flash" Goodwin. Uh, TJ Graham, as of now, you're on the short leash. OK, Stevie can move to the slot now, with Woods-Goodwin on the outside. I wonder if they'll take CB and TE next. Grade: C+ |
|
|
| 79 | Pittsburgh |
 |
Markus Wheaton Oregon State WRS Reach/Value: +4 |
Height: 5'11" Weight: 189 |
Alternate Pick #1 Johnathan Franklin Alternate Pick #2 Quinton Patton |
| The Steelers need to add a playmaker to the WR corps to replace Mike Wallace. Wheaton isn't the big target you might want but he's a playmaker who brings extreme agility to the team. He's sure-handed and was the class of the Sr. Bowl this year. Grade: B |
| 80 | Dallas |
 |
J.J. Wilcox Georgia Southern SS Reach/Value: -61 |
Height: 6'0" Weight: 213 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jesse Williams Alternate Pick #2 Jonathan Jenkins |
| Yes, a Safety was needed after releasing Gerald Sensabaugh . . . but what was needed was a center-fielder type FS, not another SS prospect. Barry Church, who was rewarded with a contract extension after being injured (a bone-head GM move) and last year's 4th round pick Matt Johnson could not get on the field due to various injuries. Wilcox played 1 season at SS for Georgia Southern after spending the previous 3 seasons on offense (slot WR). Grade: C |
| 81 | NY Giants |
 |
Damontre Moore Texas A&M DE43 Reach/Value: +52 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 250 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Logan Ryan |
| Incredible value here for the Giants and a needed pass rusher, replacing the departed Umenyiora. Prior to the Combine, Moore was considered an elite talent with the possibility of being a Top 10 selection. He didn't test well throughout the draft process and some question his work ethic. Grade: B |
| 82 | New Orleans |
 |
Jonathan Jenkins Georgia DT43 Reach/Value: +26 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 346 |
Alternate Pick #1 Reid Fragel Alternate Pick #2 Alex Okafor |
| After coming to the Combine in Indy at a svelte 346 pounds, Jenkins has reportedly trimmed down. The Saints get great value here, but will need to keep him away from the eateries in and around the Bayou. Meantime, Jenkins has quick feet and eyebrow-raising speed. Grade: B+ |
| 83 | New England |
 |
Logan Ryan Rutgers CB Reach/Value: +14 |
Height: 5'11" Weight: 191 |
Alternate Pick #1 Alex Okafor Alternate Pick #2 Jordan Poyer |
| A position that's recently been an area of weakness, the Pats look 5-deep at CB with Talib, Dennard, Arrington, Dowling, and now Ryan. Athletic and versatile, Ryan could develop into the best of the bunch. Grade: A- |
| 84 | Cincinnati |
 |
Shawn Williams Georgia SS Reach/Value: -37 |
Height: 5'11" Weight: 213 |
Alternate Pick #1 Bacarri Rambo Alternate Pick #2 Phillip Thomas |
| In his two years as a starter, Williams racked up 104 solo tackles, 66 assists, 10.5 TFL, four interceptions, nine passes broken up, two forced fumbles, four QB hurries and two blocked kicks. In both years, Georgia coaches awarded Williams their "True Grit" award, given to the player that epitomizes toughness and determination on the field.Good fit. See video Grade: B+ |
| 85 | Washington |
 |
Jordan Reed Florida State TE Reach/Value: -23 |
Height: 6'2" Weight: 236 |
Alternate Pick #1 Phillip Thomas Alternate Pick #2 Bacarri Rambo |
| Athletic TE that could end up replacing Fred Davis. Reed is a hybrid player in the mold of another former Gator, Aaron Hernandez. He's the sixth TE taken in the draft. Grade: B |
| 86 | Indianapolis |
 |
Hugh Thornton Illinois OG Reach/Value: -119 |
Height: 6'3" Weight: 320 |
Alternate Pick #1 Alex Okafor Alternate Pick #2 Jordan Poyer |
| Versatility a key here, as Thornton played both LOT and OG at Illinois. Extremely tough and athletic, scouts think he could slide to ROT if needed. Thornton will probably nail down OG starter role by end of summer camp. Grade: B+ |
| 87 | Seattle |
 |
Jordan Hill Penn State DT43 Reach/Value: -37 |
Height: 6'1" Weight: 303 |
Alternate Pick #1 Alex Okafor Alternate Pick #2 Jesse Williams |
| A bit undersized, but can gain leverage and is agile enough to manuever when needed. Good arm length, good speed and has a low center of gravity. Will provide flexibility in rotational role along D line for Seahawks. Grade: B- |
| 88 | San Francisco |
 |
Corey Lemonier Auburn DE43 Reach/Value: +30 |
Height: 6'3" Weight: 255 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jesse Williams Alternate Pick #2 Brandon Williams |
| First team All-SEC in 2011, Lemonier ranked 58th overall on our Big Board, San Francisco just bolsters its 'backer position with Lemonier. At 6'4, 246, Lemonier can be a disruptive force off the edge or blitzing up the middle. Tallied 17 sacks and 7 forced fumbles during his final season at Auburn. The Hair called him "a terror". Grade: A |
| 89 | Houston |
 |
Brennan Williams North Carolina LOT Reach/Value: -15 |
Height: 6'6" Weight: 318 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jesse Williams Alternate Pick #2 Jordan Poyer |
| A fine ROT who has the footwork to play the blind-side in a pinch . . . the Texans address a need and get the added bonus of value with this late 3rd Round pick.' Matt Schaub sends a bouquet of roses to the Houston front office and scouting department. Grade: A |
| 90 | Denver |
 |
Kayvon Webster South Florida CB Reach/Value: -177 |
Height: 5'10" Weight: 195 |
Alternate Pick #1 Alex Okafor Alternate Pick #2 Sam Montgomery |
| Webster finished his final year at South Florida with the 11th-most tackles in the Big East, with 82 total. That includes 8.5 tackles for loss and 2 sacks. Ran track for South Florida as well, including a 10.62 in the 100. Depth at the Corner position, with shot at blitz packages. Grade: B- |
| 91 | New England |
 |
Duron Harmon Rutgers FS Reach/Value: -199 |
Height: 5"11" Weight: 198 |
Alternate Pick #1 Alex Okafor Alternate Pick #2 Sam Montgomery |
| Tavon Wilson, Take 2? Or are they trying to add the entire Rutgers secondary? Big reach here. DraftTek ranks 400 prospects on our Big Board and Harmon is nowehere to be found, yet the Pats deemed him a Top 100 player. Grade: D |
| 92 | St Louis |
 |
Stedman Bailey West Virginia WRS Reach/Value: -9 |
Height: 5'10" Weight: 193 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jesse Williams Alternate Pick #2 David Bakhtiari |
| Now both WVU WRs are Rams, Tavon and Bailey, who combined for 228 receptions, 2,911 yards and 37 TDs in 2012. Bailey caught 41 TDs at West Virginia in his career, with an NCAA-best 25 this year. We thought Bailey would become a value pick in the 4th round, falling due to his height (5-10), but Rams want both Mountaineers. Grade: A |
| 93 | Miami |
 |
Will Davis Utah State CB Reach/Value: -52 |
Height: 5'11" Weight: 186 |
Alternate Pick #1 Reid Fragel Alternate Pick #2 Phillip Thomas |
| Miami needed depth at CB and they're getting it. After adding Jamar Taylor earlier, they add Will Davis. An All-WAC performer, Davis is aggressive and great at attacking the ball in the air. However there are worries about his speed. Perhaps there were better players available? Grade: C |
| 94 | Baltimore |
 |
Brandon Williams Missouri Southern DT34 Reach/Value: -3 |
Height: 6'1' Weight: 335 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jesse Williams Alternate Pick #2 Jordan Poyer |
| Our 97th-rated player goes 94th overall. He had a strong Senior Bowl and is strong yet quick, allowing him to play mutliple DL positions. The Ravens needed young defensive talent and they're getting it. Grade: B |
| 95 | Houston |
 |
Sam Montgomery LSU DE43 Reach/Value: +31 |
Height: 6'3" Weight: 262 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jesse Williams Alternate Pick #2 Jordan Poyer |
| I can't debate this selection (although Jesse Williams is still on the board and Houston needs a NT). Montgomery brings an attitude to an already-potent Texans' defense and with his pass-rush, makes the secondary that much better. Grade: B |
| 96 | Kansas City |
 |
Knile Davis Arkansas RBF Reach/Value: -60 |
Height: 5'10" Weight: 227 |
Alternate Pick #1 Phillip Thomas Alternate Pick #2 Bacarri Rambo |
| A freak athlete with major injury (ankle) and fumbling concerns. This is a boom-or-bust pick. Charles gets his running buddy here. As part of a stable of running backs, Davis could be very effective. However, he doesn't appear to be a good primary runner. Grade: C |
| 97 | Tennessee |
 |
Zaviar Gooden Missouri OLB43 Reach/Value: -17 |
Height: 6'1" Weight: 234 |
Alternate Pick #1 Alex Okafor Alternate Pick #2 Cornelius Washington |
| After going with CB on their earlier selection, the Titans add a physical freak in Gooden. The Tiger 'backer is adept at reading keys, has ability to cover TE's with athleticism and is a solid-tackling LBer. Some scouts say he needs work on angles of attack. Grade: B+ |
