2013 NFL Mock Draft: Round 4

Walt14 mins
Last update: Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2013. Major changes in all 4 rounds.
Next update: Next week. Follow me @walterfootball for updates.

You can find the complete seven-round 2013 NFL Draft Order by clicking the link.

  1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Sean Porter, DE/OLB, Texas A&M
    Because Gene Smith was fired, the Jaguars don’t have any allegiance to second-round rookie Andre Branch, who has shown nothing thus far. Sean Porter could function like fellow Aggie Von Miller, playing strongside linebacker on normal downs and rushing the quarterback in passing situations.

    Follow @walterfootball for updates.

  2. Kansas City Chiefs: Brandon Jenkins, DE/OLB, Florida State
    The Chiefs don’t have much depth behind Tamba Hali and Justin Houston – as they discovered in the Week 1 loss to Atlanta – so they could spend an early 2013 NFL Draft pick on a rush linebacker.

  3. Oakland Raiders: Will Davis, CB, Utah State
    The Raiders were without their two starting cornerbacks most of this season. Ronald Bartell was released, while Shawntae Spencer just isn’t very good.

    Pick change; previously Everett Dawkins, DT

  4. Philadelphia Eagles: J.J. Wilcox, S, Georgia Southern
    Nate Allen and Kurt Coleman both finished in the top 12 for missed tackles among safeties even though they each were out of the lineup for a couple of games. They also blew tons of coverages each week. The Eagles must find at least one upgrade at the position.

    Pick change; previously Jordan Hill, DT



  5. Minnesota Vikings: A.J. Klein, ILB, Iowa State
    Jasper Brinkley needs to be upgraded, so the Vikings will be looking for middle linebacker help at some point this offseason. Manti Te’o, Alec Ogletree and Kevin Minter are strong possibilities in Round 1. If Minnesota takes someone else, a prospect like A.J. Klein would make sense at this juncture.

    Pick change; previously Zac Dysert, QB

  6. Arizona Cardinals: Andre Ellington, RB, Clemson
    The Cardinals don’t have a proven running back on their roster, so they may spend a mid-round pick on a possible upgrade.

    Pick change; previously Arthur Brown, LB

  7. Cleveland Browns: Ryan Nassib, QB, Syracuse
    New regimes mean new quarterbacks, so even if Michael Lombardi trades for Ryan Mallett, as discussed earlier, he could spend a mid-round selection on a developmental signal-caller.

    Pick change; previously Dion Sims, TE

  8. Buffalo Bills: Jon Bostic, ILB, Florida
    Kelvin Sheppard was a big disappointment in his sophomore campaign. An upgrade is needed at middle linebacker.

  9. New York Jets: Da’Rick Rogers, WR, Tennessee Tech
    New York desperately needs an upgrade at wideout for obvious reasons. Santonio Holmes is a bum, while Stephen Hill hasn’t really shown much yet.

    Pick change; previously Kenny Stills, WR

  10. Tennessee Titans: Montee Ball, RB, Wisconsin
    Chris Johnson’s production picked up at the end of the year, but he still did a ton of dancing at the line of scrimmage. The Titans should add a mid-round running back just in case CJ2K sucks again.

  11. Carolina Panthers: Ryan Swope, WR, Texas A&M
    Steve Smith will turn 34 a couple of weeks after the 2013 NFL Draft. The Panthers will need to think about finding a new No. 1 wideout for the future. I’m also not a big Brandon LaFell believer, so an upgrade across from Smith wouldn’t hurt.

    Pick change; previously Quinton Patton, WR

  12. New Orleans Saints: Kwame Geathers, NT, Georgia
    Another piece for New Orleans’ new 3-4. The Saints could use a long-term solution at nose tackle behind Brodrick Bunkley.

    Pick change; previously Jelani Jenkins, OLB



  13. San Diego Chargers: Jonathan Franklin, RB, UCLA
    Ryan Mathews can’t be trusted to stay healthy. The Chargers need a solid option when Mathews suffers yet another injury this upcoming season.

    Pick change; previously Denard Robinson, KR

  14. Miami Dolphins: William Gholston, DE/DT, Michigan State
    Stud defensive tackle Randy Starks will be a free agent in March. If the Dolphins can’t retain him, they’ll have to find a replacement this offseason. They’d have the option of moving Jared Odrick inside, which is what they’ll do in this scenario. Miami needs a dynamic pass-rusher across from Cameron Wake.

    Pick change; previously Tharold Simon, CB

  15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Chris Faulk, OT, LSU
    Donald Penn struggled to close out the year, while Demar Dotson isn’t very good. The Buccaneers will be looking to bring in another tackle.

    Pick change; previously Justin Pugh, G/OT

  16. St. Louis Rams: Jelani Jenkins, OLB, Florida
    James Laurinaitis and JoLonn Dunbar played pretty well this past season, but no one the team tried at strongside linebacker did very well.

    Pick change; previously Levine Toiolo, TE

  17. Dallas Cowboys: Devin Taylor, DE, South Carolina
    Anthony Spencer said he would love to play the defensive end position across from DeMarcus Ware, but that’s probably not going to happen because Dallas doesn’t have the cap space to re-sign him.

    Pick change; previously E.J. Manuel, QB

  18. Pittsburgh Steelers: Nickell Robey, CB, USC
    As I quickly noted in my 2013 Pittsburgh Steelers Offseason Needs, “The Steelers will need some cornerback help if Keenan Lewis leaves via free agency.”

    Pick change; previously Robert Alford, CB

  19. New York Giants: Jordan Hill, DT, Penn State
    Marvin Austin has shown nothing thus far in his career, so the Giants may bring in another young defensive tackle with Rocky Bernard set to hit free agency.

    Pick change; previously Leon McFadden, CB

  20. Chicago Bears: Oday Aboushi, G/OT, Virginia
    If you’ve watched Jay Cutler take a beating throughout this past season, you know that they need to find multiple upgrades for their struggling offensive line.

    Pick change; previously Travis Kelce, TE



  21. Cincinnati Bengals: Brian Schwenke, C, California
    Cincinnati’s offensive line did a great job for the most part in 2012, but the weak link was at center. Brian Schwenke was one of the stars at the Senior Bowl. He could provide an upgrade.

    Pick change; previously Michael Buchanan, DE/OLB

  22. Washington Redskins: Shawn Williams, S, Georgia
    More help for the Redskins’ secondary. Brandon Meriweather cannot be relied upon to stay healthy, and it’s not like he was a Pro Bowl talent anyway.

    Pick change; previously Phillip Thomas, S

  23. Minnesota Vikings: Hugh Thornton, G, Illinois
    The Vikings could stand to bolster in the interior of their offensive line, as neither Charlie Johnson nor Brandon Fusco played well at guard this year.

  24. Indianapolis Colts: Cobi Hamilton, WR, Arkansas
    Donnie Avery is a free agent, while Reggie Wayne is going to decline very soon. The Colts will need a future complement for TY Hilton.

    Pick change; previously Brian Winters, G



  25. Green Bay Packers: Chase Thomas, DE/OLB, Stanford
    The Packers need to make sure Erik Walden isn’t on the field next year. He is terrible. He’s a free agent anyway.

    Pick change; previously Chase Thomas, DE/OLB

  26. Seattle Seahawks: Terron Armstead, OT, Arkansas-Pine Bluff
    Breno Giacomini was absolutely embarrassed in the season finale by Chris Long. Granted, Long has made so many right tackles look bad this year, but Giacomini has struggled in pass protection for most of the season.

    Pick change; previously Gavin Escobar, TE

  27. Houston Texans: David Bakhtiari, OT, Colorado
    The Texans were interested in bringing in a right tackle early in the 2012 NFL Draft, but they never got the chance. Well, here’s their opportunity. The position will have to be addressed if the currently injured Rashad Butler can’t properly fill in for Eric Winston.

  28. Denver Broncos: Stepfan Taylor, RB, Stanford
    I don’t think Knowshon Moreno can be trusted. Willis McGahee is old. Ronnie Hillman’s just a change-of-pace back.

    Pick change; previously Mike Gillislee, RB

  29. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Le’Veon Bell, RB, Michigan State
    Greg Schiano doesn’t really trust LeGarrette Blount as a No. 2 back, so he could opt to choose a new one in the middle rounds of the 2013 NFL Draft.

    Pick change; previously Stepfan Taylor, RB

  30. Atlanta Falcons: Zaviar Gooden, OLB, Missouri
    As noted in my Atlanta Falcons Offseason Needs page, the Falcons’ play at linebacker must improve. Stephen Nicholas can’t be on the field on all three downs, while Akeem Dent was a disappointment in his first season as a starter. The team needs to find a linebacker capable of playing all three downs with Sean Weatherspoon.

    Pick change; previously Travis Long, DE

  31. Baltimore Ravens: Gerald Hodges, LB, Penn State
    Ray Lewis is retiring, while Dannell Ellerbe will be a free agent this spring. The Ravens have to find some help at inside linebacker.

  32. San Francisco 49ers: Jamie Collins, DE/OLB, Southern Miss
    The 49ers have a fantastic defense, but they have a serious lack of depth at rush linebacker.

    Pick change; previously Le’Veon Bell, RB
