    *** THIS IS A LIVE 2013 NFL MOCK DRAFT. PICKS ARE BEING POSTED NOW. TO SEE PREVIOUS VERSIONS, CHECK OUT THE ARCHIVED 2013 NFL MOCK DRAFT SECTION. FOLLOW @walterfootball FOR UPDATES ***

  1. Kansas City Chiefs: David Bakhtiari, OT/G, Colorado
    The Chiefs keep getting rid of their tackles, so I guess I have to keep mocking them players at that position.

    Follow @walterfootball for updates.

    Pick change; previously Kiko Alonso, ILB

  2. Jacksonville Jaguars: Barrett Jones, G/C/OT, Alabama
    Barrett Jones would be a nice addition for the Jaguars, who have several holes up front. Jones can play four positions on the offensive line.

    Pick change; previously David Bakhtiari, OT/G

  3. Detroit Lions: David Amerson, CB/S, N.C. State
    The Lions still need cornerback help even after re-signing Chris Houston. They’ve shown a good amount of interest in David Amerson.

  4. Oakland Raiders: Matt Barkley, QB, USC
    Matt Barkley may not go in the third round, but he’s probably not being chosen in the first round either (unless the Bills take him at No. 8), given that he declined his draft invitation. He’s a likely second-round choice, but I couldn’t fit him in. Maybe the Raiders will trade a future selection for him. He’d fit their offensive system very well.



  5. Philadelphia Eagles: Gavin Escobar, TE, San Diego State
    The Eagles have shown a ton of interest in Gavin Escobar – go here to see the 2013 NFL Draft Prospect Meetings. Chip Kelly loves utilizing tight ends in his offense, and the Eagles need one even after signing James Casey, given that Brent Celek is in decline.

  6. Cleveland Browns: Logan Ryan, CB, Rutgers
    Cornerback is a big need for the Browns. Sheldon Brown played well for Cleveland in 2012, but he’s no longer on the roster. The Browns currently don’t have anyone to fill the void across from Joe Haden. They brought in Brent Grimes for a visit, but he signed with the Dolphins instead.

    Pick change; previously Tyler Bray, QB

  7. Arizona Cardinals: J.J. Wilcox, S, Georgia Southern
    Adrian Wilson and Kerry Rhodes were both cut, which opened up a major hole at safety for Arizona. Yeremiah Bell was signed, but he’s just one player, and a short-term solution at that.

    Pick change; previously Tony Jefferson, S

  8. Tennessee Titans: Jamie Collins, DE/OLB, Southern Miss
    The Titans have zero depth behind Derrick Morgan and Kamerion Wimbley, and in a division that features Matt Schaub and Andrew Luck, they need all the pass-rushing help they can get.

  9. Buffalo Bills: Vance McDonald, TE, Rice
    General manager Buddy Nix recently told the media that he plans on upgrading the tight end position. Expect one of his Day 2 selections to be used on this.

  10. New York Jets: Christine Michael, RB, Texas A&M
    The Jets need to give their next quarterback some weapons to work with. Both the receiver and tight end positions need to be upgraded. Running back must be addressed as well. Shonn Greene signed with the Titans, but he wasn’t very good anyway.

  11. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Blidi Wreh-Wilson, CB, Connecticut
    The Buccaneers traded for Darrelle Revis – go here to see the Revis trade grade – but they still need to add another corner.

  12. San Francisco 49ers: John Jenkins, NT, Georgia
    The most frustrating part about creating this year’s mock draft is finding a spot for all of the nose tackles. There are just too many, and there aren’t enough teams that need them. The 49ers, as an example, don’t value the position highly, but I think they’ll see the value in obtaining someone like John Jenkins at the end of Round 2 or the beginning of Round 3.

    Pick change; previously Darius Slay, CB



  13. New Orleans Saints: Jesse Williams, NT, Alabama
    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 Brandon Williams, NT

  14. San Diego Chargers: Sio Moore, DE/OLB, Connecticut
    The Chargers drafted Melvin Ingram in the first round last year, but they need another pass-rusher because Shaun Phillips is gone.

  15. Miami Dolphins: Brandon Williams, NT, Missouri Southern
    The Dolphins franchised Randy Starks, but Paul Soliai is entering his walk year. That means both defensive tackles will be free agents next March. Miami has shown interest in plenty of defensive tackles this offseason, so it’ll probably draft one early.

    Pick change; previously Giovani Bernard, RB

  16. St. Louis Rams: Shamarko Thomas, S, Syracuse
    The Rams have absolutely nothing at safety. Both Craig Dahl and Quintin Mikell are gone, leaving just Rodney McLeon and Darian Stewart at the position. Neither played very much in 2012.

    Pick change; previously Terrance Williams, WR

  17. Pittsburgh Steelers: Phillip Thomas, S, Fresno State
    Troy Polamalu can’t seem to get healthy, while Ryan Clark, who just turned 33, will be entering his contract year. The Steelers need to get younger at safety.

    Pick change; previously Shamarko Thomas, S

  18. Dallas Cowboys: Bennie Logan, DT, LSU
    The Cowboys need personnel for Monte Kiffin’s 4-3 defense. It appears as though Jay Ratliff will be on the roster next year, which is a huge mistake typical of the post-Bill Parcells Jerry Jones era. Defensive tackle still needs to be addressed though.

  19. New York Giants: Khaseem Greene, LB, Rutgers
    Keith Rivers just signed a 1-year deal, but he’s not the long-term solution because he can never stay healthy. General manager Jerry Reese said that there needs to be better linebacker play next year.

  20. Miami Dolphins: Stedman Bailey, WR, West Virginia
    The Dolphins added Mike Wallace and Brandon Gibson, and they also re-signed Brian Hartline, but that doesn’t mean they won’t take a receiver in the middle rounds. Davone Bess is due a non-guaranteed $2.63 million this season. Joe Philbin said he’ll be competing for a roster spot, so Miami may just draft a cheaper solution.



  21. Minnesota Vikings: Travis Frederick, G/C, Wisconsin
    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 past season.

  22. Cincinnati Bengals: Da’Rick Rogers, WR, Tennessee Tech
    The Bengals drafted two receivers last year, but they still might be searching for another wideout. Da’Rick Rogers makes a ton of sense for Cincinnati as a wideout with tons of upside but off-the-field issues.

  23. Washington Redskins: D.J. Swearinger, S, South Carolina
    More secondary help for the Redskins. They need a safety to pair with Brandon Meriweather – assuming that Meriweather can actually stay on the field for a change.

    Pick change; previously Phillip Thomas, S

  24. Indianapolis Colts: Corey Lemonier, DE/OLB, Auburn
    The Colts have issues with their pass rush. Robert Mathis just turned 32 and will be due $12 million in 2014 and 2015. Jerry Hughes has never lived up to expectations. Dwight Freeney is gone. Erik Walden was just signed for depth despite being incredibly overpaid.



  25. Seattle Seahawks: Jelani Jenkins, OLB, Florida
    The Seahawks are pretty thin at linebacker with Leroy Hill gone. They may want to bring someone in to compete for the weakside linebacker job.

  26. Green Bay Packers: David Quessenberry, G/C/OT, San Jose State
    Can anyone explain why Jeff Saturday was voted to the Pro Bowl? He didn’t even start at the end of the season. The Packers had major problems at center after letting Scott Wells walk away, so they’ll have to address that area in April. Ted Thompson would love to have someone like David Quessenberry, who can play pretty much any position.

    Pick change; previously J.J. Wilcox, S

  27. Houston Texans: Earl Wolff, S, N.C. State
    The Texans have to find safety help in the wake of losing Glover Quin in free agency to the Lions.

  28. Denver Broncos: Le’Veon Bell, RB, Michigan State
    John Fox is not shy about using early selections on running backs. He needs one. Willis McGahee is old, Knowshon Moreno can’t be trusted, and Ronnie Hillman’s just a chance-of-pace back.

  29. New England Patriots: Dallas Thomas, G/OT, Tennessee
    The Patriots are looking for an offensive lineman for depth who could eventually start. Dallas Thomas will be considered because he’s versatile, which is something Bill Belichick loves out of blockers.

  30. Atlanta Falcons: Sean Porter, OLB, Texas A&M
    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.

  31. San Francisco 49ers: Travis Kelce, TE, Cincinnati
    The 49ers obviously have Vernon Davis as one of Colin Kaepernick’s top targets, but Jim Harbaugh loves utilizing multiple tight ends. He used to have Delanie Walker as a No. 2 tight end option, but Walker signed with the Titans this offseason.

  32. Baltimore Ravens: Terrance Williams, WR, Baylor
    The Ravens have to find a big possession receiver to help fill the void left by Anquan Boldin.

    Pick change; previously Vince Williams, ILB

  33. Houston Texans: Jordan Reed, TE, Florida
    The Texans love utilizing multiple tight ends. They’ll be looking for another one this offseason in the wake of losing James Casey to the Eagles.

  34. Kansas City Chiefs: Ryan Swope, WR, Texas A&M
    The Chiefs re-signed Dwayne Bowe and added Donnie Avery, but they still need one more receiver for their new quarterback.

  35. Tennessee Titans: Bacarri Rambo, S, Georgia
    The Titans signed Bernard Pollard and George Wilson, but they’ll still consider using a mid-round pick on a young safety. They like to use three safeties, and Michael Griffin’s status is uncertain because he’s due more than $6 million per year in 2014-16.
