2013 NFL Mock Draft
Last update: Friday, Feb. 10, 2012. Third edition.
Next update: TBA. Follow me @walterfootball for updates.
The order of this 2013 NFL Mock Draft is somewhat random. As always, I only take the first-round pick of my 2012 NFL Mock Draft into account when making these selections.

Jacksonville Jaguars: Matt Barkley, QB, USC 
2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Jonathan Martin, OT
No surprise here. Matt Barkley is the overwhelming favorite to go No. 1 at the moment, but a lot can change in a year. Barkley took a big risk by going back to school, but the reward of banging hot chicks at USC could be well worth it.
Blaine Gabbert is too craven to play the quarterback position, so the Jaguars will be in contention for the No. 1 pick, barring some sort of miracle.
-
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Robert Woods, WR, USC
2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Morris Claiborne, CB
As we first reported, Mike Williams struggled in 2011 because he was overweight and constantly fell asleep in meetings. Arrelious Benn, meanwhile, has yet to show anything. If this continues, the Buccaneers won't hesitate to spend a very early pick on a wideout, especially one as talented as Robert Woods.
-
Oakland Raiders: Tyler Bray, QB, Tennessee 
2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: None
The Raiders are in a tough spot. They're over the cap, so they will have to make cuts (Stanford Routt was just released and added to the 2012 NFL Free Agent Rankings.) They're also changing defensive formations because of a new coaching staff. And then there's the matter of Carson Palmer, who's a big question mark. If Oakland is drafting this high in April 2013, there's little doubt that this pick will be a quarterback.
-
Miami Dolphins: D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama 
2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Quinton Coples, DE
The right side of Miami's offensive line needs to be retooled. If Matt Flynn struggles and the Dolphins are picking fourth overall, head coach Joe Philbin may blame the front for not protecting his quarterback.
-
Seattle Seahawks: Jarvis Jones, DE/OLB, Georgia 
2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Devon Still, DT
Chris Clemons, Seattle's top pass-rusher, will be a free agent a couple of months prior to the 2013 NFL Draft. The Seahawks already have issues getting to the quarterback, so they'll need even more help in this area.
Jarvis Jones would be a top-20 pick if he declared this year. He had 13.5 sacks for Georgia in 2011.
-
Indianapolis Colts: Sam Montgomery, DE/OLB, LSU 
2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Andrew Luck, QB
It's weird envisioning the Colts as a 3-4 team, but that's what they are now under Chuck Pagano. They'll need a couple of years to get all of the correct personnel on the roster.
-
Minnesota Vikings: Keenan Allen, WR, California 
2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Matt Kalil, OT
If the Browns, Redskins, Dolphins etc. trade into the No. 2 spot this April, the Vikings will take Matt Kalil. In that scenario, it's unlikely that they'll be able to land a No. 1 wideout. Keenan Allen would then be on Minnesota's radar the following spring.
-
Buffalo Bills: Landry "Lance" Jones, QB, Oklahoma 
2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Quinton Coples, DE
The Bills gave Ryan Fitzpatrick a long extension, and they already regret it. If the second half of the 2011 season is any indication, Buffalo will have an early selection in the 2012 NFL Draft, which means there could be a new front office. New regimes mean new quarterbacks.
-
St. Louis Rams: Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M 
2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Justin Blackmon, WR
The Rams will likely give Rodger Saffold one more year on the blind side if they move down and select Justin Blackmon. That experiment could easily fail, so St. Louis will have to continue its quest for a franchise left tackle to protect Sam Bradford.
-
New Orleans Saints: David Amerson, CB, N.C. State 
2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: None
The Saints are hosting the Super Bowl this year, which means something awful is going to happen and they're going to be drafting in the top 10. That's how these things work. Just ask Colt fans. At any rate, perhaps New Orleans will finally be able to solve its secondary woes with a very early selection.
-
Tennessee Titans: Jelani Jenkins, OLB, Florida 
2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Cordy Glenn, G
The Titans have two stud linebackers in Akeem Ayers and Colin McCarthy, but they need a third guy to complement them. Jelani Jenkins, a possible top-10 prospect, is the best player available.
-
New York Jets: Marcus Lattimore, RB, South Carolina 
2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Courtney Upshaw, OLB
Shonn Greene has been a huge disappointment in his career, so I have to believe that Rex Ryan would grab a stud running back for his "Ground and Pound" offense if one were available to him. Marcus Lattimore would be higher in this mock if he weren't coming off an injury.
-
Cleveland Browns: Michael Dyer, RB, Arkansas State 
2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Robert Griffin, QB
The 2012 NFL Mock Drafts that have the Redskins moving up for Robert Griffin slot Trent Richardson to the Browns for good reason. If Montario Hardesty disappoints once again, Cleveland will be in the market for a starting running back.
-
Arizona Cardinals: Alex Hurst, OT, LSU
2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: David DeCastro, G
Why does it seem like the offensive tackle position is atop Arizona's needs list every single year? This has to be taken care of soon, or Kevin Kolb's head may actually fall off one of these weeks.
-
Pittsburgh Steelers: Johnathon Hankins, NT, Ohio State 
2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Dont'a Hightower, ILB
Pittsburgh has major salary cap issues. New offensive coordinator Todd Haley, meanwhile, is bound to clash with Ben Roethlisberger. The Steelers could be a mess in 2012.
It's no secret that Pittsburgh has a weakness at nose tackle. Players at this position typically don't go this high, but Johnathan Hankins is a stud, much like B.J. Raji from a few years ago.
-
Dallas Cowboys: Kawann Short, DE/DT, Purdue 
2012 NFL Mock Draft selection: Janoris Jenkins, CB
The Cowboys had the option of picking J.J. Watt at No. 9 overall in the 2011 NFL Draft. They went with Tyron Smith, who was great in his rookie campaign, but they were hurting at the defensive end position as a consequence.

Sorry for cutting this into two halves; I've received complaints about load times and putting the mock draft on two pages saves bandwith.
