    *** 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. Jacksonville Jaguars: Sanders Commings, CB/S, Georgia
    Derek Cox signed with the Broncos. Aaron Ross signed with the Giants. Rashean Mathis and William Middleton are gone. That leaves two guys named Mike Harris and Alan Ball as the starting cornerbacks. That’s not good.

    Sanders Commings fits perfectly into Gus Bradley’s system as a tall, lanky corner.

    Follow @walterfootball for updates.

  2. Kansas City Chiefs: Sam Montgomery, DE, LSU
    No one should be surprised if Sam Montgomery falls to the fourth or fifth round. His comments about quitting and betting on football have drawn some serious red flags. However, he’s the best player available and fills a big need for Kansas City.

    The Chiefs need pass-rushing depth, and Montgomery fits the scheme well. Plus, Andy Reid has a history of giving chances to players with character issues.

    Pick change; previously Barrett Jones, G/C/OT

  3. Oakland Raiders: Ryan Otten, TE, San Jose State
    The Raiders pretty much need everything, including an intermediate target for their new quarterback. Brandon Myers signed with the Giants, so there’s a hole at tight end.

  4. Philadelphia Eagles: Marquise Goodwin, WR/KR, Texas
    The Eagles will be looking at a receiver in the middle rounds for two reasons. First, the injury-prone Jeremy Maclin is entering his contract year and could be traded. Second, Chip Kelly doesn’t have anyone to handle his De’Anthony Thomas role.



  5. Minnesota Vikings: Andre Ellington, RB, Clemson
    Toby Gerhart is also entering his contract year and could be traded. The Vikings will need a No. 2 back in 2014 and beyond.

  6. Arizona Cardinals: Mike Glennon, QB, N.C. State
    Mike Glennon has been linked to the Cardinals. You can check out my 2013 NFL Draft Rumors page for more. It could be smoke, but Glennon is a perfect fit for Bruce Arians’ vertical offense.

    Arizona just traded for Carson Palmer – see the grade for the Carson Palmer trade here – but that won’t preclude the front office from selecting a quarterback in Round 3. The Cardinals can actually get out of the Palmer contract next spring if he doesn’t work out, so they’ll need an alternative option.

  7. Cleveland Browns: Tyler Bray, QB, Tennessee
    Michael Lombardi signed Jason Campbell to compete with Brandon Weeden for the starting job, but neither quarterback is a long-term solution. The Browns will probably draft a signal-caller in Rounds 3 or 4.

    Pick change; previously Logan Ryan, CB

  8. Buffalo Bills: Tharold Simon, CB, LSU
    The Bills have addressed their offense with their first three picks, but it’s now time to turn to the defense. Buffalo’s greatest need on that side of the ball is at corner.

    Pick change; previously Ty Powell, LB

  9. New York Jets: Dwayne Gratz, CB, Connecticut
    The Jets will obviously have to find some cornerback help because Darrelle Revis was traded (go here to see my Revis trade grade). Rex Ryan used to love drafting corners when he was in Baltimore, but the Jets haven’t possessed many picks to be able to do that because they’ve traded up for one too many bums.

  10. Tennessee Titans: Zaviar Gooden, OLB, Missouri
    The Titans barely have any depth at linebacker, so they’ll have to use a mid-round pick to fix that.

  11. Carolina Panthers: Aaron Dobson, WR, Marshall
    Panthers’ head coach Commander Adama hinted that signing Mike Wallace was a possibility. That didn’t happen, but it at least was an indication that Carolina is looking to upgrade the receiver position. Another possibility is drafting Colonel Tigh, as seen in my April Fools Mock Draft.

  12. New Orleans Saints: T.J. McDonald, S, USC
    The Saints get a steal here with T.J. McDonald, who will be able to challenge for one of the starting safety jobs.

    Pick change; previously William Gholston, DE/DT



  13. San Diego Chargers: Tyler Wilson, QB, Arkansas
    New regimes mean new quarterbacks. All the Chargers have behind Philip Rivers is Charlie Whitehurst.

  14. Miami Dolphins: Ty Powell, LB, Harding
    Something the Dolphins had to do this offseason was find some linebacker depth because they’re awfully thin there. They signed two expensive linebackers, but they also cut two in the process.

    Pick change; previously Montori Hughes, NT

  15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Montee Ball, RB, Wisconsin
    The Buccaneers need an upgrade behind Doug Martin in the event that LeGarrette Blount is dealt.

  16. St. Louis Rams: Hugh Thornton, G, Illinois
    The Rams haven’t upgraded their offensive line yet in this 2013 NFL Mock Draft yet. They’ll likely use two picks to address this area, as Jeff Fisher vowed to bolster Sam Bradford’s pass protection.

    Pick change; previously Shawn Williams, S

  17. Dallas Cowboys: Stepfan Taylor, RB, Stanford
    The Cowboys are expected to use a mid-round pick on a running back. Jerry Jones recently said that none of DeMarco Murray’s current backups are considered No. 2 runners.

  18. Pittsburgh Steelers: John Simon, DE/OLB, Ohio State
    The Steelers could definitely double up on pass-rushers in the 2013 NFL Draft. They’re really hurting for depth at outside linebacker, and they really like John Simon.

  19. New York Giants: Jordan Poyer, CB, Oregon State
    The Giants re-sign Aaron Ross, but they could still stand to use a mid-round pick on a cornerback after how poorly Corey Webster played last year.

    Pick change; previously Luke Marquardt, OT

  20. Chicago Bears: B.W. Webb, CB, William & Mary
    All five of Chicago’s top cornerbacks will be hitting free agency next spring. That’s going to be a tough situation if the Bears don’t draft anyone at the position.



  21. Cincinnati Bengals: Tyrann Mathieu, CB, LSU
    Cincinnati just drafted Dre Kirkpatrick in the first round last year, but an early cornerback selection is still in play because the team doesn’t have much long-term cornerback depth. That’s a problem because Mike Zimmer loves having three corners on the field.

  22. Washington Redskins: Duke Williams, S, Nevada
    The Redskins could defintiely draft two safeties. Brandon Meriweather is coming off a torn ACL and may not be ready for Week 1.

  23. Minnesota Vikings: Will Davis, CB, Utah State
    The Vikings shocked everyone when they cut Antoine Winfield recently. Cornerback help is now needed.

  24. Indianapolis Colts: Aaron Mellette, WR, Elon
    The Colts signed Darrius Heyward-Bey, but he can’t be considered a safe option to start across from Reggie Wayne. The Colts need to bring in someone to challenge for that spot.



  25. Green Bay Packers: Tony Jefferson, S, Oklahoma
    The Packers brought in Michael Huff for a visit, but ultimately watched him sign with the Ravens. They want help at safety next to Morgan Burnett.

    Pick change; previously David Quessenberry, G/C/OT

  26. Seattle Seahawks: Matt Scott, QB, Arizona
    The Seahawks need a backup quarterback. They signed Brady Quinn, but Seattle could use more of a long-term solution behind Russell Wilson.

  27. Houston Texans: Trevardo Williams, DE/OLB, Connecticut
    The Texans lost Connor Barwin to the Eagles, so they’ll have to find some depth behind Brooks Reed and Whitney Mercilus.

  28. Denver Broncos: Shawn Williams, S, Georgia
    Rahim Moore had that dumb play at the end of the Baltimore game, but safety help is really needed because Michael Adams isn’t very good. He’s going to be a 32-year-old entering his contract season anyway.

    Pick change; previously Tharold Simon, CB

  29. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Vinston Painter, OT, Virginia Tech
    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.

  30. Atlanta Falcons: Leon McFadden, CB, San Diego State
    The Falcons are fully expected to double up on cornerbacks in the 2013 NFL Draft. They’re so incredibly thin at the position.

  31. San Francisco 49ers: Marcus Lattimore, RB, South Carolina
    There was some talk at the Combine about how the 49ers might spend a mid-round selection on Marcus Lattimore because they have so many draft choices. In the wake of the Alex Smith trade, that’s an even greater possibility, as San Francisco can afford to take this sort of gamble. Lattimore may not be able to play in 2013, but the 49ers could have a stud back in 2014 and beyond.

  32. Baltimore Ravens: Brennan Williams, OT, North Carolina
    Bryant McKinnie hasn’t re-signed yet, so the Ravens may want to bring in another offensive tackle. As it stands now, Kelechi Osemele would be Joe Flacco’s blind-side protector. That can’t happen.

  33. Baltimore Ravens: Chris Harper, WR, Kansas State
    The Ravens could double up on the receiver position, given that there’s not much on the roster behind Torrey Smith and Jacoby Jones.

  34. San Francisco 49ers: Josh Evans, S, Florida
    The 49ers could draft two safeties. One has to replace Dashon Goldson, while the other could take over for Donte Whitner in the near future. Whitner will be a free agent next spring.

  35. Detroit Lions: Brian Schwenke, C, California
    The Lions will almost surely spend another pick on a lineman after taking Eric Fisher at No. 5 overall. Brian Schwenke, whom they coached at the Senior Bowl, can play both guard and center.

  36. Atlanta Falcons: Mike Gillislee, RB, Florida
    Steven Jackson was signed as a short-term solution at running back. The Falcons will want to bring in an option for the future sometime soon.
