| 33 | Jacksonville |
 |
Jonathan Cyprien Florida Int'l SS Reach/Value: +5 |
Height: 6'0" Weight: 217 |
Alternate Pick #1 Cornellius Carradine Alternate Pick #2 Damontre Moore |
| And the Jaguar Nation takes a deep breath and collectively states "I knew the 1st Round was just a mirage!" Not necessarily a reach, as the Big Board Team had a 1st Round grade on him . . . definitely a stud Safety for the back-end of the defense.plays bigger than his listed size (6'-0", 210 lbs). Grade: A |
| 34 | Tennessee |
 |
Justin Hunter Tennessee WRF Reach/Value: -12 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 196 |
Alternate Pick #1 Cornellius Carradine Alternate Pick #2 Damontre Moore |
| Relocation costs will be limited to a U-Haul trailer from Knoxville to Nashville for the big, fast Volunteer who stays in-state. Arguably has the highest ceiling of any WR in the 2013 Draft.Love his ability to win jump balls, Grade: A |
| 35 | Philadelphia |
 |
Zach Ertz Stanford TE Reach/Value: -4 |
Height: 6'6" Weight: 250 |
Alternate Pick #1 Geno Smith Alternate Pick #2 Jamar Taylor |
| Head scratcher here. With all of the talent on the board - including Geno Smith, Jesse Williams, Johnathan Hankins, and Jamar Taylor - they go for a TE that cannot block. He's a solid pass catcher to pair with Celek & Casey but there are too many questions elsewhere to add yet another TE. Grade: D |
| 36 | Detroit |
 |
Darius Slay Mississippi State CB Reach/Value: -23 |
Height: 6'0" Weight: 192 |
Alternate Pick #1 Arthur Brown Alternate Pick #2 Keenan Allen |
| What? The Lions pass on Milliner in RD-1, then pass on DE Cornellius Carradine and OLB Arthur Brown to reach for Darius Slay. Slay has the size that Defensive Coordinator Gunther Cunningham is looking for, and has 4.36 speed. This reach for a CB with a torn miniscus is a puzzlement. Grade: D |
| 37 | Cincinnati |
 |
Giovani Bernard North Carolina RBC Reach/Value: -13 |
Height: 5'8" Weight: 202 |
Alternate Pick #1 Kevin Minter Alternate Pick #2 Johnathan Franklin |
| Go, Gio, Go! . His 1,228 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on 6.7 yards per carry show production you'd expect from a feature back. Bernard's an able receiver out of the backfield, and he can also be your return man. He will need some more coaching on his pass protection. Bernard rushes best in the 4th quarter. Grade: A- |
| 38 | San Diego |
 |
Manti Te'o Notre Dame SILB Reach/Value: +4 |
Height: 6'1" Weight: 241 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jesse Williams Alternate Pick #2 Johnathan Hankins |
| With Takeo Spikes' departure, the Chargers D was in desperate need of a thumper in the middle. Manti Te'o, polarizing as he may be, looked to be the best prospect available to fill that hole. I'm not 100% sure why they needed to trade up for him, but the pick makes sense. Grade: B+ |
| 39 | NY Jets |
 |
Geno Smith West Virginia QB Reach/Value: +24 |
Height: 6'2" Weight: 218 |
Alternate Pick #1 Alex Okafor Alternate Pick #2 Eddie Lacy |
| Both WVU's Air Raid offense is a West Coast Offense, requiring quick decision-making and accurate passes (Smith's 2012 TD:INT ratio was 7 to 1). Geno will get Buffalo twice a year and show them why taking Manuel was a mistake. Smith has the command, quickness, arm strength, and accuracy, but diagnosing disguised coverages was a problem (especially against Marrone's Syracuse defense). No QB will work harder. Grade: B+ |
| 40 | San Francisco |
 |
Cornellius Carradine Florida State DE34 Reach/Value: +16 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 276 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jesse Williams Alternate Pick #2 Johnathan Hankins |
| IMHO, Tank may be a better pro than his Seminole teammate Werner . . . a stout 49er defense just made Guinness blush with yet another pass-rusher on the defensive line (assuming Carradine is fully recovered from his injury). As a Senior in 2012, Tank posted 80 tackles (13 for loss), 11 sacks, and 9 QB hurries in 12 games. Grade: A |
|
|
| 41 | Buffalo |
 |
Robert Woods USC WRF Reach/Value: -8 |
Height: 6'0" Weight: 201 |
Alternate Pick #1 Arthur Brown Alternate Pick #2 Jamar Taylor |
| Robert Woods experienced a loss of production in 2012 (76 rec, 846 yards, 11 TDs) versus 2011 (111 rec, 1,292 yards, 15 TDs). His polished techniques of changing speeds, sharp cuts in and out of breaks, a knack for getting open, and excellent hands make him excellent value here. Woods' college tape, makes him a valuable pick. Woods' high football IQ and clear understanding of how to play WR will let him contribute early in his NFL career. Grade: A |
| 42 | Oakland |
 |
Menelik Watson Florida State LOT Reach/Value: -37 |
Height: 6'5" Weight: 240 |
Alternate Pick #1 Arthur Brown Alternate Pick #2 Damontre Moore |
| Definitely a head scratcher by the Raiders,here but that's standard for Oakland fans. Watson has a ton of talent to offer at right tackle, but he is extremely raw and doesn't address the Raiders biggest need - defensive line. The Raiders lost Shaughnessy, Seymour, Bryant, and Kelly and have done nothing to replace them. Good talent, but a questionable decision. Grade: C+ |
| 43 | Tampa Bay |
 |
Johnthan Banks Mississippi State CB Reach/Value: +5 |
Height: 6'2" Weight: 185 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jamar Taylor Alternate Pick #2 Jordan Poyer |
| The Buccaneers had a dreadful secondary in 2012. Actually, the worst secondary (297.4 yards allowed per game) in the league. They added Dashon Goldson in Free Agency and added superstar Darrelle Revis via trade. And now, Banks through the draft. That's a complete 180 in the defensive backfield. Great value pick as Banks was a fringe First Round pick who dropped due to a subpar 40 time. Grade: A |
| 44 | Carolina |
 |
Kawann Short Purdue DT43 Reach/Value: +7 |
Height: 6'3" Weight: 299 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jamar Taylor Alternate Pick #2 Keenan Allen |
| The Panthers double down on the DTs with the penetrating 3-tech, Kawann Short. The depth chart was awfully thin here before the draft but with these two beasts added to the interior, NFC South QBs will undoubtedly be on the run a lot more. On top of that, Luke Kuechly should have a field day making big plays with even more regularity than last year. Grade: B+ |
| 45 | Arizona |
 |
Kevin Minter LSU SILB Reach/Value: +14 |
Height: 5'11" Weight: 246 |
Alternate Pick #1 Tyler Bray Alternate Pick #2 Ryan Nassib |
| The best ILB (sorry Te'o) in this year's class falls right in the Cardinals' lap . . . the Bayou Bengal was all over the field and will shore up Arizona's defense with a fierce determination that will make "The Angry Bird" the most popular dance step in Phoenix! Watch for yourself . Grade: A |
| 46 | Buffalo |
 |
Kiko Alonso Oregon SILB Reach/Value: -52 |
Height: 6'3" Weight: 238 |
Alternate Pick #1 Arthur Brown Alternate Pick #2 Jamar Taylor |
| Minter is off the board one pick before the Bills. Minter had paid them a visit, and the Alonso pick will be compared to him. However, Kiko has the quickness, motor, and sideline-to-sideline speed that Pettine looks for and Minter lacks. Kiko will endear himself to Bills fans and soon make them say, "Minter who?" Grade: B+ |
| 47 | Dallas |
 |
Gavin Escobar San Diego State TE Reach/Value: -42 |
Height: 6'6" Weight: 254 |
Alternate Pick #1 Johnathan Hankins Alternate Pick #2 Jesse Williams |
| Once again, Cuzzin Jerruh proves his ineptitude in the War Room . . . with all kind of talent available at positions of need, he selects a friggin' TE! If you want a point of reference, Jason Witten was a 3rd round draft choice . . . why am I even watching this El Toro De Caca??? Grade: F |
| 48 | Pittsburgh |
 |
Le'Veon Bell Michigan State RBF Reach/Value: -39 |
Height: 6'1" Weight: 230 |
Alternate Pick #1 Keenan Allen Alternate Pick #2 Eddie Lacy |
| The Steelers let Rashard Mendenhall walk after this season and they're in the market for a new feature back. Bell is one of the more complete big guys in this draft. At Michigan State, he essentially was the offense yet defenses could not consistently bottle him up. He has size, physicality, vision and can catch some passes in the flat. One of the better big backs in a somewhat thin class. |
