Quick Recent NFL Draft Links:
  1. Oakland Raiders: Matt Barkley, QB, USC
    The Raiders are going to be rebuilding under a new head coach and general manager this year. Oakland had zero draft picks in the first two rounds of the 2012 draft, and the team is having to settle for less talented players as it tries to remodel the roster.

    Plus, the Raiders have lost some quality starters from 2011 in free agency, but are restricted by the salary cap from making any serious additions. Oakland could be approaching a rough season. If the Raiders have a bad year, they'll be looking to revamp the roster with a quarterback.

    Barkley proved himself to be a safe prospect during the 2011 season. He laid claim to the Trojans' starting quarterback position as a freshman and completed 59.9 percent of his passes for 2,735 yards and 15 touchdowns, but also threw 14 interceptions. In 12 games in 2010, the 6-foot-2, 220 pounder improved his production by completing 62.6 percent of his passes for 2,791 yards with 26 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

    Barkley had many prolific passing games as a junior, including throwing for six touchdown passes against UCLA and Colorado. He also led USC to a signature road win over Oregon. Barkley completed 69 percent of his passes in 2011 for 3,528 yards with 39 touchdowns and only seven interceptions.

    Barkley's improved decision making is exactly the kind of progress NFL scouts will be pleased to see, plus he comes from a pro-style offense and has good intangibles. Barkley has mastered the West Coast offense and is well prepared for the NFL.



  2. Minnesota Vikings: Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
    The Vikings could use a young difference-maker on the interior of their defensive line.

    The 6-foot-4, 325-pound Lotulelei was a First-Team All-Pac-12 pick in 2011 and won the Morris Trophy as the conference's top defensive lineman, as voted on by the starting offensive linemen. He recorded 44 tackles, 1.5 sacks, nine tackles for a loss and a forced fumble. Lotuleilei is powerful and extremely quick.


  3. St. Louis Rams: Robert Woods, WR, USC
    The Rams missed out on Julio Jones in 2011 and Justin Blackmon this year. Maybe the third time is the charm for landing Sam Bradford a No. 1 receiver.

    Woods (6-1, 180) was a dominant force as a sophomore, becoming Matt Barkley's primary weapon. Woods totaled 1,292 yards on 111 receptions with 15 touchdowns in 2011. He had a record-setting game to open the season with 17 receptions for 177 yards and three touchdowns against Minnesota. Woods then broke his own record, against Arizona, with 14 receptions for 255 yards and two touchdowns.

    When Barkley decided to return for his senior season, Woods had to be ecstatic since they should continue to produce massive numbers in 2012. Another good year will keep Woods' draft stock strong as long as he can stay healthy.

    Pick change; previously Keenan Allen, WR


  4. Cleveland Browns: Keenan Allen, WR, California
    The Browns need a true No. 1 receiver for Brandon Weeden to work with in order to take the pressure off of Trent Richardson.

    The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Allen looks like he could have the talent to be a big-time receiver. He caught 46 passes for 490 yards and five touchdowns as a freshman in 2010. Allen put together a huge 2011 season, racking up 98 receptions for 1,343 yards and six scores.

    Pick change; previously Sam Montgomery, DE




  5. Miami Dolphins: Sam Montgomery, DE/OLB, LSU
    The Dolphins need a pass-rusher to go with Cameron Wake and Olivier Vernon.

    Montgomery has been a leader of the Tigers' fierce defensive line. He totaled 49 tackles with 13.5 tackles for a loss, nine sacks and one forced fumble in 2011. Montgomery had 18 tackles with six tackles for a loss and two sacks as a freshman. The 6-foot-4, 245-pounder needs to add weight for the NFL, but that shouldn't be an issue as he has the frame to get bigger and will add weight as he ages.

    Pass along your thoughts on this mock. I'll put together a mail bag periodically that answers questions/comments sent via email draftcampbell@gmail.com or on Twitter @draftcampbell.

    Pick change; previously Robert Woods, WR


  6. Indianapolis Colts: Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
    The Colts land a pass-rusher to be the cornerstone of their new 3-4 defense. Dwight Freeney could be a short-timer in Indianapolis, and Jerry Hughes has been a bust up to now.

    Jones was one of the best pass-rushers in college football in 2011. He tied for the second-most sacks in the nation, 13.5. Jones also had 70 tackles with 19.5 tackles for a loss and two forced fumbles.

    The USC transfer has fit well in the Georgia defense and looks like an ideal 3-4 outside linebacker for the next level. The 6-foot-3, 241-pounder should be able to add some bulk to hold up on the edge in the NFL.


  7. Jacksonville Jaguars: Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State
    Jacksonville clearly needs help at cornerback. Instead of drafting Jayron Hosley, Jamell Fleming or Dwight Bentley, the Jaguars decided to take a punter in the third round of the 2012 draft. Gene Smith should buy a lottery ticket if he is lucky enough to be making this pick next year.

    Xavier Rhodes (6-2, 215) has a special skill set. He is big, fast and agile, all while having good hands. Rhodes started 14 games as a redshirt freshman in 2010 and was the ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year. He recorded 58 tackles with four interceptions and 12 passes defensed.

    Rhodes displays natural shutdown skills. He played well against Oklahoma receiver Ryan Broyles in 2011, and was fabulous at covering up Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd.

    Rhodes totaled 43 tackles with an interception and four passes broken up in last season. Teams stayed away from him and attacked the Seminoles other corners.

    Pick change; previously David Amerson, CB


  8. Arizona Cardinals: Chris Faulk, OT, LSU
    Arizona went with a secondary receiver, Michael Floyd, to pair with Larry Fitzgerald instead of taking a left tackle like Riley Reiff. Left tackle could be another crucial weakness for the Cardinals in 2012. Though they landed a nice value pick with Bobby Massie in the fourth round, Faulk could lock down the left tackle spot for years to come.

    Faulk had an excellent sophomore season at tackle for LSU. The 6-foot-6, 325-pounder has been a good pass blocker and a road grader of a run blocker. He has a lot of athletic ability and the potential to be a special player.




  9. Tennessee Titans: Barkevious Mingo, DE/OLB, LSU
    The Titans could look at a defensive end or cornerback with this pick. Mingo may have one of the biggest ceilings of any prospect in the 2013 draft class.

    Mingo (6-5, 240) had a breakout 2011 season. He showed blinding speed and was a disruptive force. Mingo totaled 46 tackles with 15 tackles for a loss, eight sacks and one forced fumble. He had 35 tackles with 5.5 tackles for a loss, 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and six pass breakups in 2010.

    If Mingo can fill out his frame more, he will be a high draft pick. Considering how tall Mingo is, that shouldn't be a problem, especially when he gets in an NFL strength and conditioning program.

    Pick change; previously Xavier Rhodes, CB


  10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M
    The Buccaneers could use a long-term right tackle with Jeremy Trueblood in the final year of his contract.

    Jake Matthews is the son of Bruce Matthews, so the bloodlines are there for a standout NFL offensive lineman. The 6-foot-5, 295-pounder is both a superb pass protector and a physical run blocker. Matthews was excellent at right tackle in 2011 for Texas A&M. Some believe that he can play left tackle in the NFL.

    Matthews' fellow star junior tackle Luke Joeckel is a potential first-rounder in 2013 or 2014. The Aggies' duo is similar to the Matt Kalil and Tyron Smith combination USC used to have.

    Pick change; previously D.J. Fluker, OT


  11. Buffalo Bills: D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama
    The Bills still need help at tackle.

    Fluker (6-6, 335) has been an excellent tackle for Alabama. He is a nasty run blocker and quality pass protector. There is no reason to think that Fluker won't have another dominant season in 2012 to prove himself worthy of being a high pick in the first round.

    Pick change; previously Jake Matthews, OT


  12. Seattle Seahawks: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
    It would probably be more accurate to pick a random second- or third-rounder to be the Seahawks' first-round pick. However, maybe another season of missing the playoffs will cause Seattle to draft without the mega-reaches its done in the first round the past two drafts.

    Werner could be primed for a massive 2012 season. At times in 2011 as a sophomore, he outplayed teammate Brandon Jenkins. The Berlin, Germany product is a strong physical presence who plays with a mean streak. Werner (6-4, 273) broke out with some dominating games and seven sacks last year. He also had 37 tackles, 11 tackles for a loss, one interception, one forced fumble and eight pass breakups. Werner had 3.5 sacks as a true freshman in 2010.

    Pick change; previously Kawann Short, DT




  13. San Diego Chargers: David Amerson, CB, North Carolina State
    The 2012 season may reveal that the Chargers could use some more talent at corner. A.J. Smith has had an inclination to draft corners highly.

    The 6-foot-3, 194-pound Amerson has a special skill set with size, speed and ball skills. He was simply phenomenal in 2011. Amerson totaled 13 interceptions to lead the nation. He also had 59 tackles with five passes broken up.

    Pick change; previously Desmond Trufant, CB


  14. Kansas City Chiefs: Tyler Wilson, QB, Arkansas
    The Chiefs need a long-term quarterback.

    Wilson completed 63 percent of his passes this year for 3,638 yards with 24 touchdowns and six interceptions. He improved as the season progressed and has gotten good preparation for the pro game from Bobby Petrino.

    Wilson has good field vision, a strong arm and accuracy. He should produce a big 2012 season even though he is losing a good cast of receivers. It remains to be seen what will happen given the coaching change.


  15. St. Louis Rams: Oday Aboushi, OT, Virginia
    The Rams could use more offensive line help. Aboushi could play left tackle for St. Louis with Rodger Saffold moving to right tackle.

    Aboushi is a left tackle prospect who could have been a top-50 pick if he had entered the 2012 draft. Aboushi should only get better as a senior. The 6-foot-6, 310-pounder has quick feet and is a natural left tackle. He also is a good run blocker with some power and mobility.

    Aboushi could rise high in the 2013 class and comes from a school that has produced a lot of offensive tackle talent.


  16. New Orleans Saints: Brandon Jenkins, DE/OLB, Florida State
    New Orleans could use a pass-rusher. Will Smith is getting older and a lack of pass rush has hurt the Saints.

    At 6-foot-3, 265 pounds, Jenkins has good size with the agility and athleticism to stand up in a 3-4 defense while also being big enough to stay as 4-3 end. He had 39 tackles with 12 tackles for a loss and eight sacks in 2011. Jenkins got frequent pressure on the quarterback in many games last season. He has a nice array of pass-rushing moves and regularly beats his blocker. Jenkins saw extra blocking attention in 2011, and that helped teammate Bjoern Werner breakout in the beginning of the season.

    In 2010, as a first-year starter at right end, Jenkins led Florida State in sacks while the Seminoles were No. 1 in the nation in sacks. He notched 13.5 sacks with 21.5 tackles for a loss. Jenkins had five multi-sack games, and he was voted the team's 2010 MVP.

    If Jenkins records 8.5 sacks this year, he will have produced 30 sacks over the past three seasons, and few prospects enter the NFL with that kind of proven ability to get to the quarterback.

    Pick change; previously Barkevious Mingo, DE/OLB

Breakout player you must watch Datone Jones UCLA... slow year but is a freak and very dominant and will turn many heads... plays every position on the dline... and is athletic enough to play outside linebacker.

Do you really think the Titans will be drafting 9th?? I really question your knowledge of the NFL if that is what you think. They are actually extremely underrated and will be fighting for a wildcard spot. I would put money on it.

Why would the Saints pick at sixteen???? And if they do why wouldn't they take Tyran Mathieu???? They just lost Tracy Porter and have no depth at corner other than Johnny Patrick... They will be winning the Super Bowl after they get Drew Brees signed.

Good job on the mock. One thing I don't agree with is Landry Jones going in the 2nd round. The NFL is high on QB's every year so Landry Jones will be snagged up in the early part of the 1st Round. With the exceptions of Luck and RG3, this years QB class was extremely weak and 4 QB's went in the first round!

Justin Hunter is the more talented Tennessee WR actually. He just missed most of last year with injury. If he comes back 100 % (which I think he will) he deserves a look around that same range. And take Rogers down a notch. He only put up those numbers because Hunter was out.

Horrible. BILLS PICK 11?? Hahahah clown they will make the playoffs... And no they don't need another OL you clown. Bills had th best OL last year, least amount of sacks allowed and they added Cordy Glenn, they will draft WR/LB/QB in round 1, it will be one of those positions.

Hooray! Finally a good pick in the first round for the Steelers! Te'o ftw.

Now I'll point out the flaws about the second round. Same thing as I said before about the running game. Offensive line and play calling dictate how effective it is, not only the quality of the running back. Going by this mock, give them Robert Lester instead. Ryan Clark will turn 33 mid-season and Polamalu will turn 32 right before the draft, they need a safety early.

Seahawks have spent the majority of the last 3 drafts addressing D and already have a top 10 Defense. Their obvious areas of need is more depth at tight end or a difference maker at wide receiver. There are only 2 possibilites for this shoddy journalism -
1) Matt Millen has assaulted Walter with LSD laced kelsaiba and now Walt thinks he should just keep picking the same thing until the Seahawks do what they are damn well told! or
2) Walt is just too lazy to research any team not within his own area code. Lets have a poll to see which one everybody thinks it is!

So I guess Alan Branch, Brandon Mebane, Jason Jones, and Clinton McDonald (I can understand him) are just not there anymore and Jaye Howard is now like a starter? Funny, really funny. D-line is probably the last thing we need. How about a receiver or tight end?

Beatty is entering year 4, Brewer year 2, and Moley and Mccants are rookies. I could see the argument for talent and on that merit, the pick makes sense.

At the same time with 5 picks spent on oline, I see Amore likely pick for Rd 1 as safety or pass rush given the strength of the draft, plus need for salary flexibility at those spots.

@ Charlie Campbell, or anyone else who wants to comment:

How do you guys think the 2013 TE class stacks up with the 2012 TE class?

1) Tyler Eifert, Notre Dame
2) Joseph Fauria, UCLA
3) Jake Stoneburner, Ohio State

vs

1) Coby Fleener, Stanford, Colts
2) Dwayne Allen, Clemson, Colts
3) Ledarius Green, Louisiana-Lafayette, Chargers

Falcon's Fan here:

The TE talent drop off from the top 3 listed is not that significant of a drop off as other critical positions of needs for the Falcons. One of the top 3 TE's will be available with the Falcon's 2nd round pick if they choose to address that position early.

However a talent drop off for a good pass rushing DE or a quality LT is a tremendous drop off. The Falcon's need a TE no doubt but the offense is potent enough that a LT or DE have to be more pressing come 1st round.

You have them taking Tyler Eifert who is a great prospect in the 1st but no way the Falcons take him if a good LT or DE is available at that pick.

You have them taking a ROT (Alex Hurst) in the 2nd. Tyson Clabo is a Pro Bowler who has that position locked down & they took a OT in the 3rd this year (Lamar Holmes) who will have at least a year minimum to show he can be the back up swing tackle.

So taking Alex Hurst a primary RT/back-up makes no sense. At least a potential left tackle if you are addressing OT in any round, which they have in Lamar Holmes.

Not sure if you read these comments and I know its hard to stay up on all the teams needs. But I hope you will strongly consider my points. Love the sight.

Tried to indent but did not work so re-posted so my comment wasn't so jumbled up.
