2013 NFL Mock Draft: Round 3

Walt14 mins
Last update: Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2012. Major changes in all 3 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. Kansas City Chiefs: Margus Hunt, DE/DT, SMU
    Glenn Dorsey will be a free agent in March and Tyson Jackson is due more than $14 million next year, so it appears as though their disappointing tenures in Kansas City are coming to an end.

    Follow @walterfootball for updates.

    Pick change; previously Logan Ryan, CB

  2. Jacksonville Jaguars: Travis Frederick, G/C, Wisconsin
    Travis Frederick can play both guard and center, which has to appeal to the Jaguars because they need both. Left guard Eben Britton, a free agent in March, has been benched twice this season. Center Brad Meester, whose contract also expires after this year, will turn 36 soon.

    Pick change; previously Jonathan Cooper, G/C

  3. Cleveland Browns: William Gholston, DE, Michigan State
    Here’s a player who can help the Browns’ pass rush. Cleveland’s defensive ends are all struggling to get to the quarterback.

    Pick change; previously Travis Frederick, G/C

  4. San Francisco 49ers: Khaled Holmes, C, USC
    The 49ers could use some help on the offensive line. Khaled Holmes could eventually take over for Jonathan Goodwin, who will be 34 in December.



  5. Oakland Raiders: Brennan Williams, OT, North Carolina
    The Raiders will need to upgrade their offensive line. Khalif Barnes cannot be a starter in this league.

  6. Philadelphia Eagles: Logan Ryan, CB, Rutgers
    I can’t imagine Nnamdi Asomugha returning to Philadelphia next year. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, meanwhile, is a free agent. If he leaves, the Eagles will be desperate for cornerback help.

    Pick change; previously Bennett Jackson, CB

  7. St. Louis Rams: Dion Sims, TE, Michigan State
    Here’s another weapon for Sam Bradford. The Rams don’t have anything at tight end, as Lance Kendricks has been a huge disappointment.

  8. Miami Dolphins: Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State
    The Dolphins have two second-round picks because they dealt Vontae Davis to the Colts, so they should probably use one of them on a replacement.

    Pick change; previously Arthur Brown, LB

  9. Washington Redskins: Sean Porter, DE/OLB, Texas A&M
    The Redskins learned the hard way that they have absolutely nothing at rush linebacker behind Brian Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan.

    Pick change; previously Michael Buchanan, DE/OLB

  10. New York Jets: Kenny Stills, WR, Oklahoma
    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 beyond dropping the ball every week.

    Pick change; previously Quinton Patton, WR

  11. Tennessee Titans: Shawn Williams, S, Georgia
    The Titans have major problems at safety. Jordan Babineaux is just a marginal talent, while Michael Griffin has inexplicably dropped off this year. At first, it was believed he was struggling because he was at strong safety instead of free safety, but he’s continued to play poorly despite moving back to his natural spot.

    Pick change; previously Tony Jefferson, S

  12. Arizona Cardinals: Michael Buchanan, DE/OLB, Illinois
    The Cardinals’ rush linebackers are inconsistent in terms of getting to the quarterback. O’Brien Schofield hasn’t exactly proven that he’s capable of staying healthy either.

    Pick change; previously Michael Mauti, ILB



  13. Detroit Lions: John Simon, DE, Ohio State
    Kyle Vanden Bosch likely won’t be back with the team next season because of his $5 million salary, while the other exterior pass-rushers, excluding Cliff Avril, have barely done anything this year.

    Pick change; previously William Gholston, DE

  14. Buffalo Bills: Quinton Patton, WR, Louisiana Tech
    The Bills drafted a quarterback in the second round, so they’ll need to find a weapon for him. Steve Johnson is currently the only downfield play-maker on Buffalo’s roster.

    Pick change; previously Justin Gilbert, CB

  15. San Diego Chargers: Ricky Wagner, OT, Wisconsin
    There’s no explanation needed here if you watched the Broncos pummel Philip Rivers the entire afternoon. The Chargers must do something about the tackle position.

    Pick change; previously Zac Dysert, QB

  16. Dallas Cowboys: Landry Jones, QB, Oklahoma
    Tony Romo will turn 33 just prior to the 2013 NFL Draft. The Cowboys will have to think about bringing in a young quarterback.

  17. Cincinnati Bengals: Bacarri Rambo, S, Georgia
    The Bengals had a big need at safety, but they didn’t address the position until the fifth round this past April. They’ll put more effort into finding an upgrade the following offseason because they won’t survive with Reggie Nelson and the recently benched Taylor Mays (or cornerback Nate Clements, who is playing out of position) as their starters.

    Pick change; previously Andre Ellington, RB

  18. New Orleans Saints: Leon McFadden, CB, San Diego State
    I’m giving the historically inept Saints’ defense the best player available to help fix their stop unit.

  19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Arthur Brown, LB, Kansas State
    The Buccaneers have two solid linebackers in Lavonte David and Mason Foster, but they need a third to upgrade the pedestrian Quincy Black.

    Pick change; previously John Simon

  20. Minnesota Vikings: Kevin Reddick, ILB, North Carolina
    The Vikings can do a lot better than Jasper Brinkley at middle linebacker. He’s a pretty big liability on their defense.

    Pick change; previously Ricky Wagner, OT



  21. Seattle Seahawks: Jonathan Brown, OLB, Illinois
    Another second-day linebacker for Seattle. The Seahawks re-signed Leroy Hill this offseason, but that was only for a year. They may find someone else if they’re unhappy with him.

  22. New York Giants: Zac Dysert, QB, Miami of Ohio
    It’d be nice to see the Giants develop a young quarterback. They can do better than David Carr as Eli Manning’s backup.

    Pick change; previously Kevin Reddick, ILB

  23. Pittsburgh Steelers: Brandon Jenkins, DE/OLB, Florida State
    James Harrison may not be back next year. He’ll be due $6.6 million as a 35-year-old who is having trouble staying healthy. The Steelers may spend an early pick on a rush linebacker.

    Brandon Jenkins will reportedly enter the 2013 NFL Draft. He’s coming off a Lisfranc injury, but should be selected on Day 2.

    Pick change; previously Shawn Williams, S

  24. Indianapolis Colts: Trevardo Williams, DE/OLB, Connecticut
    I’m not sure why the Colts retained both Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis when they’re in rebuilding mode, but they’ll need to find someone next spring who can step in and start once either of them moves on (which very easily could be next year). Freeney is due $14 million in 2013, so it’s difficult to see him returning, especially considering that he’s struggled since returning from injury.



  25. Miami Dolphins: Gerald Hodges, LB, Penn State
    Something the Dolphins must do this offseason is find some linebacker depth because they’re awfully thin there.

    Pick change; previously Omoregie Uzzi, G

  26. Green Bay Packers: Andre Ellington, RB, Clemson
    James Starks has yet to prove that he can stay healthy, while Alex Green has shown nothing in several starts. Cedric Benson is obviously not a long-term answer, so the Packers may address the running back position early in the 2013 NFL Draft.

    Pick change; previously Mike Gillislee, RB

  27. Denver Broncos: Stepfan Taylor, RB, Stanford
    John Fox loves using multiple selections on the running back position. The Broncos took Ronnie Hillman in April, and Stepfan Taylor would be a good complement.

  28. New England Patriots: Datone Jones, DE, UCLA
    Chandler Jones has had a monstrous rookie campaign thus far, but the Patriots need someone across from him to get to the quarterback, as Jermaine Cunningham has been a disappointment.

  29. San Francisco 49ers: Terry Hawthorne, CB, Illinois
    Teams are always looking for cornerback depth, especially if they have extra picks. Besides, Carlos Rogers isn’t playing as well this season.

    Pick change; previously James Gayle, DE/OLB

  30. Baltimore Ravens: Stedman Bailey, WR, West Virginia
    Some help for the elite Joe Flacco. The declining Anquan Boldin will be entering his contract year and will have to be replaced soon.

    Pick change; previously Terry Hawthorne, CB

  31. Houston Texans: Phillip Thomas, S, Fresno State
    Glover Quin is a free agent this upcoming offseason. It’ll be difficult to retain him with Connor Barwin also hitting the market.

    Pick change; previously Duke Williams, S

  32. Atlanta Falcons: Mike Gillislee, RB, Florida
    Michael Turner is done. He’s looked like he’s been running in quicksand this season, so he won’t be on the roster much longer.

    Pick change; previously Stedman Bailey, WR
