2013 NFL Live Mock Draft Round 4
April 25-27, 2013
April 25-27, 2013
| 98 | Philadelphia |
 |
Matt Barkley USC QB Reach/Value: +38 |
Height: 6'2" Weight: 227 |
Alternate Pick #1 William Gholston Alternate Pick #2 Jordan Poyer |
| Barkley has numbers similar to top QBs--64.1% passing for 12,327 yards (7.89 YPA), 116 TD to 48 INT. Is this a fit for what Chip Kelly wants to do? Surprising. Grade: C+ |
| 99 | Kansas City |
 |
Nico Johnson Alabama WILB Reach/Value: -50 |
Height: 6'2" Weight: 248 |
Alternate Pick #1 Johnathan Franklin Alternate Pick #2 Phillip Thomas |
| With the death of Jovan Belcher, the Chiefs were looking for a two down, thumper-type Inside Linebacker. Johnson is limited in pass coverage, but is a physical linebacker who tackles well and takes on blockers. It's a limited role, but good value in Round 4. Grade: B |
| 100 | Tampa Bay |
 |
Akeem Spence Illinois DT43 Reach/Value: +8 |
Height: 6'1" Weight: 307 |
Alternate Pick #1 Alex Okafor Alternate Pick #2 Quinton Patton |
| Spence started every game of his Illinois career (which was 38 games) and helped to lead them to bowl victories in 2010 and 2011. Had 186 career tackles,(16.5 for loss) and 3.5 sacks. Good hands and build, physical and gets all over the LOS. |
| 101 | Jacksonville |
 |
Ace Sanders South Carolina WRS Reach/Value: -125 |
Height: 5'7" Weight: 173 |
Alternate Pick #1 Alex Okafor Alternate Pick #2 Jesse Williams |
| After wanting to snag T.Y. Hilton a year ago, the Jags get a similiar opportunity in 2013 with Gamecock speedster Ace Sanders. Grade: B+ |
| 102 | New England |
 |
Josh Boyce TCU WRF Reach/Value: -53 |
Height: 5'11" Weight: 206 |
Alternate Pick #1 Alex Okafor Alternate Pick #2 Jordan Poyer |
| The overhaul of the WR corps continues. After adding a possession-type guy earlier in Dobson the Pats add a slot-type receiver in Boyce. He excels playing off the line where he can utilize his quickness. Nice pick. Grade: B+ |
| 103 | Arizona |
 |
Alex Okafor Texas OLB34 Reach/Value: +68 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 264 |
Alternate Pick #1 Reid Fragel Alternate Pick #2 Tyler Bray |
| Hook 'Em . . . the versatile Longhorn can rush the passer from hand on the ground or standing up, which fits right in with the Cardinals' Hybrid Defense!" Grade: A |
| 104 | Miami |
 |
Jelani Jenkins Florida OLB43 Reach/Value: -49 |
Height: 6'0" Weight: 243 |
Alternate Pick #1 Reid Fragel Alternate Pick #2 Phillip Thomas |
| Miami switched to a 4-3 under Coyle in 2012 and Jenkins is an ideal fit for that scheme. They got him around where he was rated by most. The Dolphins LB corps has been rebuilt (Burnett, Dansby gone; Ellerbe, Wheeler added) and Jenkins could push Misi for PT this year. Grade: B |
| 105 | Buffalo |
 |
Duke Williams Nevada FS Reach/Value: -55 |
Height: 6'0" Weight: 190 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Khaseem Greene |
| Jairus Byrd has yet to sign his tender, and even though they moved Aaron Williams to S, they add this Williams for leverage. Byrd'll sign by minicamp. Pettine will use 3-safety looks at times. Grade: B+ |
| 106 | Miami |
 |
Dion Sims Michigan State TE Reach/Value: -72 |
Height: 6'5" Weight: 262 |
Alternate Pick #1 Reid Fragel Alternate Pick #2 Phillip Thomas |
| Miami lost Fasano to the Chiefs but added Keller from the Jets. However, he was signed to just a 1-year deal. Clay and Egnew aren't feature guys so taking a TE isn't surprising. Sims is a big guy with good hands but don't expect him to be the future. Grade: C |
| 107 | Tennessee |
 |
Brian Schwenke California OC Reach/Value: +37 |
Height: 6'3" Weight: 314 |
Alternate Pick #1 Cornelius Washington Alternate Pick #2 Phillip Thomas |
| Titans' OL Coach Bruce Matthews gets a solid addition to a unit that he had to juggle and shift all last season. Schwenke will battle incumbent Fernando Velasco for the starting spot and has a shot at getting it."Grade:A |
| 108 | Carolina |
 |
Edmund Kugbila Valdosta State OG Reach/Value: -192 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 317 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Quinton Patton |
| I suppose the Panthers filled a need here with the small-school Guard. Larry Allen came out of Sonoma State, so you never know? Grade: D |
| 109 | Green Bay |
 |
David Bakhtiari Colorado OG Reach/Value: +19 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 299 |
Alternate Pick #1 Quinton Patton Alternate Pick #2 Ryan Swope |
| Bakhtiari has the versatility the Packers like. If he can't unseat Newhouse, he'll be a multiple position backup Mike McCarthy vowed the offensive line would be better. This is step one. Grade: B+ |
| 110 | NY Giants |
 |
Ryan Nassib Syracuse QB Reach/Value: +63 |
Height: 6'2" Weight: 227 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Phillip Thomas |
| Uh-oh. Are they taking a page from their NY brethren? QB controversy?!? Ha, no. Nassib is good value here and is a developmental option. The current backups are David Carr and Curtis Painter. Nassib can easily become the #3 with an eye on the future. Need? No. Grade: B |
| 111 | Pittsburgh |
 |
Shamarko Thomas Syracuse SS Reach/Value: +9 |
Height: 5'8" Weight: 213 |
Alternate Pick #1 Khaseem Greene Alternate Pick #2 Johnathan Franklin |
| The Steelers must have loved Thomas since they gave up a 3rd Round pick in 2014 to trade up and grab him. The former 'Cuse Safety is a big hitter, similar to Bob Sanders. He isn't an incredible coverage guy but is a willing run defender. He'll fit in as a Steeler just fine. Grade: B |
| 112 | Oakland |
 |
Tyler Wilson Arkansas QB Reach/Value: +39 |
Height: 6'2" Weight: 215 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jesse Williams Alternate Pick #2 Tyler Bray |
| Oakland takes its 16th QB in 10 years. Hopefully, this works as well as Russell Wilson for the Raiders. Tyler possesses lightning-quick decision-making, often making throws to his 2nd and 3rd keys. Value meets need. Grade: B+ |
| 113 | St Louis |
 |
Barrett Jones Alabama OC Reach/Value: +47 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 306 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jesse Williams Alternate Pick #2 Bacarri Rambo |
| Not the most physically-imposing character in the draft, but Jones is a solid technician as an interior OL. He'll likely compete for the starting job at LG but, at worst, will provide a solid backup at all three interior O-Line positions. Grade: B |
|
|
| 114 | Dallas |
 |
B.W. Webb William & Mary CB Reach/Value: +2 |
Height: 5'10" Weight: 184 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jesse Williams Alternate Pick #2 Khaseem Greene |
| A munchkin CB??? "Follow the yellow brick road . . ." Maybe they want to get rid of the stupid contract Jones gave to Orlando Scandrick for a nickel CB . . . I thought they wanted to get a RB to pair with DeMarco Murray." And Jesse Williams is still on the board . . . go figger!" Grade: D |
| 115 | Pittsburgh |
 |
Landry Jones Oklahoma QB Reach/Value: -146 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 225 |
Alternate Pick #1 Khaseem Greene Alternate Pick #2 Johnathan Franklin |
| Some analysts were making noise in Round 3 for the Steelers to take a QB. They get their wish in the next round. Jones was a highly-regarded prospect nearly 2 years ago. However his warts were magnified throughout 2011 and 2012. He doesn't have to play immediately (if Ben stays healthy) which is a good thing. Jones struggles under pressure and the PGH OL hasn't been the best in recent years. Grade: C+ |
| 116 | Arizona |
 |
Earl Watford James Madison OG Reach/Value: -131 |
Height: 6'3" Weight: 300 |
Alternate Pick #1 Reid Fragel Alternate Pick #2 Tyler Bray |
| The small-school OG is a lot like First Round pick Cooper but he did it against inferior competition. His ability to adjust to the NFL game, primarily defenders' speed, will determine if he's a starter or reserve. Of course, AZ needed OL help. Grade: B |
| 117 | Chicago |
 |
Khaseem Greene Rutgers WILB Reach/Value: +66 |
Height: 6'0" Weight: 241 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Jesse Williams |
| Greene joins Jon Bostic as the newest Bear Linebackers. Can they"live up to that tradition"and be the next in line? Greene is fast, instinctive, and a solid tackler. Tough vs the run.""Grade: B+ |
| 118 | Cincinnati |
 |
Sean Porter Texas A&M OLB43 Reach/Value: -11 |
Height: 6'1" Weight: 229 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Quinton Patton |
| Porter is an every-down 'backer who doesn't have typical size, but he's a versatile, explosive pass rusher who flashes 4-3 or 3-4 ability from the strong or weak side. He's played in an NFL- style Defense, and shows football savvy. We think his best position is 4-3 Will. Grade:B |
| 119 | Washington |
 |
Phillip Thomas Fresno State FS Reach/Value: +47 |
Height: 6'0" Weight: 208 |
Alternate Pick #1 Bacarri Rambo Alternate Pick #2 Tony Jefferson |
| Solid value here for a player who should compete for the starting FS job with Reed Doughty as early as this year. Grade: A- |
| 120 | Minnesota |
 |
Gerald Hodges Penn State OLB43 Reach/Value: +10 |
Height: 6'1" Weight: 243 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Cornelius Washington |
| We've had a GRAB on Hodges here throughout the draft process. He's a perfect fit for the scheme and they paid a fair price for him here. Grade: A |
| 121 | Indianapolis |
 |
Khaled Holmes USC OC Reach/Value: -88 |
Height: 6'3" Weight: 302 |
Alternate Pick #1 David Quessenberry Alternate Pick #2 Chris Harper |
| Holmes represents the continuation of the overhaul along the OL in Indy. Solid, athletic and can get to 2nd level quickly. Holmes thrives in ZBS and can play anywhere in the interior of the line. Grade: B+ |
| 122 | Green Bay |
 |
J.C. Tretter Cornell OC Reach/Value: -70 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 307 |
Alternate Pick #1 Quinton Patton Alternate Pick #2 Ryan Swope |
| The Packers double down on OL in 4th Round. After taking Bakhtiari earlier they grab Cornell's Tretter, our 192nd-ranked prospect. He's a depth player and will need time to adjust to the NFL competition. Of course Green Bay has done a great job developing OL over the years. Grade: C |
| 123 | Seattle |
 |
Chris Harper Kansas State WRF Reach/Value: +29 |
Height: 6'1" Weight: 229 |
Alternate Pick #1 Tyler Bray Alternate Pick #2 Jordan Poyer |
| During his final season at KState, Harper cuaght at least 3 passes in all but 3 games. Once a QB prospect at Oregon, Harper switched to wideout and amassed over 850 yards last year. Grade: B |
| 124 | Houston |
 |
Trevardo Williams Connecticut OLB34 Reach/Value: +19 |
Height: 6'1" Weight: 241 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jesse Williams Alternate Pick #2 Jordan Poyer |
| Not a bad pick; however, Jesse Williams (the #1 NT) is still on the board so I wonder what the thinking is here." Athletic edge-setter with limited pass-coverage experience. Grade: B |
| 125 | Green Bay |
 |
Johnathan Franklin UCLA RBC Reach/Value: +70 |
Height: 5'10" Weight: 205 |
Alternate Pick #1 Quinton Patton Alternate Pick #2 Ryan Swope |
| Wow. Packers had a late-second, early third grade on Franklin and can not pass up the value, despite already having taken Eddie Lacy. Welcome to the new 3yds and a cloud of dust Packers! LOL Grade B+ |
| 126 | Tampa Bay |
 |
William Gholston Michigan State DE43 Reach/Value: +64 |
Height: 6'6" Weight: 281 |
Alternate Pick #1 Quinton Patton Alternate Pick #2 Jordan Poyer |
| William Gholston has the necessary length (6 foot 6) and arms (34 inches long) to play the DE43 position. His specialty is occupying Guards . He has enough pass rush wiggle of his own to allow us to get increased pressure on opposing QBs while only rushing four. Grade: A- |
| 127 | Atlanta |
 |
Malliciah Goodman Clemson DE34 Reach/Value: -25 |
Height: 6'4" Weight: 276 |
Alternate Pick #1 Cornelius Washington Alternate Pick #2 Jesse Williams |
| Stuck behind the likes of Da'Quan Bowers and Andre Branch for years, Goodman is really an untapped asset. Enormous hands (11") and is fundamentally sound. Once his instincts take over his technical thinking, sky is the limit. Grade: A |
| 128 | San Francisco |
 |
Quinton Patton Louisiana Tech WRF Reach/Value: +67 |
Height: 6'0" Weight: 204 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jesse Williams Alternate Pick #2 Bacarri Rambo |
| The rich get richer as the 49ers add the silky-smooth Patton to an already-loaded receiving corps. We saw Patton as a Day 2 pick, so this is great value here in the 4th. Grade: A- |
| 129 | Baltimore |
 |
John Simon Ohio State DE43 Reach/Value: +10 |
Height: 6'1" Weight: 257 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Ryan Swope |
| The former Buckeye is a bit of a miscast for the Ravens' D; too small for the 5-tech, not experienced enough in coverage. With the addition of Dumervil and presence of Suggs, though, Simon won't need to be an every-down player. He has a great work ethic and shouldn't be underestimated. Grade: C+ |
| 130 | Baltimore |
 |
Kyle Juszczyk Harvard FB Reach/Value: -81 |
Height: 6'3" Weight: 245 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jordan Poyer Alternate Pick #2 Ryan Swope |
| A versatile player, Juszczyk has played TE, H-back, and FB. He's a smart kid but I question the selection this early. He's our 211th-ranked player and would likely have been available later. Grade: C |
| 131 | San Francisco |
 |
Marcus Lattimore South Carolina RBF Reach/Value: +31 |
Height: 5'11" Weight: 221 |
Alternate Pick #1 Jesse Williams Alternate Pick #2 Bacarri Rambo |
| Now this is REALLY scary ! (Exciting for Niner fans) Lattimore joins up with Frank Gore and LaMichael James, as the weaponry increases in San Francisco. Great comeback effort by Lattimore and we all hope he's able to stay healthy. 'Grade: A' |
| 132 | Detroit |
 |
Devin Taylor South Carolina DE43 Reach/Value: -16 |
Height: 6'7" Weight: 266 |
Alternate Pick #1 Ryan Swope Alternate Pick #2 Da'Rick Rogers |
| Another long (6'7") DE for the Lions who we projected as a mid-Fifth Round selection. Taylor's 36" arms and 4.65 speed are coveted, but he's no Jadeveon Clowney. Could this mean the end for Ronnell Lewis? Grade: C+ |
| 133 | Atlanta |
 |
Levine Toilolo Stanford TE Reach/Value: -109 |
Height: 6'8" Weight: 260 |
Alternate Pick #1 Cornelius Washington Alternate Pick #2 Jesse Williams |
| Falcons draft Tony Gonzalez's heir apparent? Tony can school him in receiving, but you can't teach size. Toilolo is solid, enough for d enough for in-line, nimble enough and athletic enough to make leaping end-zone catches. He's raw, but he has the right teacher. Grade: B |
