Mock (3/15/13)
I'm going pure BPA with this mock. Zero consideration will be made with respect to position or need (unless I risk drafting three guards or something like that.)
Assumptions:
1. They get one compensatory pick, an extra third (Carr).
2. The Chiefs try furiously to trade down, but there are no takers.
On with the show:
1. DE/NT Star Lotulelei, Utah
I think Lotulelei is probably the best pure football player in this draft. I say probably because who the hell knows this year. There's no elite talent, there's only one QB worth a damn and all the best physical talent is wrapped up in projects like Ezekiel Ansah and Lane Johnson.
3. OLB Alex Okafor, Texas
Okafor is more of a 4-3 DE, but like I said, this is a BPA mock.
3. S Eric Reid, LSU
I loved Reid in 2011, in 2012 he was pretty tame by comparison, I've dropped him a bit in my rankings.
4. TE Jordan Reed, Florida
Athletic receiving TE this team could use.
5. QB Zac Dysert, Miami (Ohio)
This guy's shot up my board. Will be interesting to see where he goes in the NFL draft.
6. WR Josh Boyce, TCU
7. DE Chris Jones, Bowling Green
