2013 NFL Mock Draft: Where Everyone Stands With Seven Weeks To Go

Now that it's nearly official that the Chiefs will be trading for quarterback Alex Smith, cross Geno Smith off for the Chiefs. The contemplation now is between Eric Fisher of Central Michigan and Joeckel. The higher-upside player, or the ready-to-go player? Trading for a veteran quarterback implies the Chiefs want to win quickly. Joeckel is better suited than Fisher to help them do so.

When Jaguars general manager David Caldwell was in Atlanta, the team took quarterback Matt Ryan. Some considered it an early gamble, but it's surely paid off. Caldwell could see in Smith what he saw in Ryan. Don't forget, the Jags have some pieces on offense, but need a good quarterback. Blaine Gabbert may not be it.

Because of the unfortunate heart issues surrounding Star Lotulelei, teams drafting high may be scared to take him. Oakland is one of them. Add that to free agent Desmond Bryant being arrested and Tommy Kelly's possible release, and Oakland will be desperate for interior defensive linemen. Floyd was a star at the combine and has quickly risen into the top of the draft. Cornerback Dee Milliner may get some looks here as well.

This was a pick I went with a couple weeks ago. It just fits. Jordan is the kind of all-around outside linebacker the Eagles need. He can drop in coverage and already knows proper hand usage as a pas rusher, where he should only improve.

The Lions need as much help on defense as possible, and Milliner secured a spot this high with his combine performance. While Detroit does have Chris Houston on one side, the Lions need talent on the opposite side. With the draft being deep on defense, the team can address line and linebacker later.

With a switch to a 3-4 defense, the Browns need a difference maker at pass rusher. Mingo wasn't that last season because the LSU coaches instructed him to play more contain on the outside. Mingo has the skill set and potential to be a special player at outside linebacker.

Because none of the quarterbacks distinguished themselves in Indianapolis, it would be unwise for the Cardinals take one in the top 10. Trade down and it's another story. But with the seventh pick, Fisher is now looking like a steal. He's the left tackle they don't have, no matter what Steve Keim may have said about Nate Potter at the combine.

Much has been made of Jones' health issues, but he's a legitimate top 10 player in the draft this year. As an outside linebacker, he's proven he can get after the passer and can play the run. Buffalo's choice is completely up in the air. It wouldn't be a surprise to see them add a wide receiver, offensive tackle, quarterback or even a cornerback. Buffalo is as hard of a team to pin down as there is in the league.

If the top pass rushers are off the board, the Jets should look at Warmack to help bolster the team's running game. The Jets are thin at guard and Warmack can be plugged in on either side for a decade.

The Titans could go a number of ways with the 10th pick. That could open them up to a trade back if someone wants to come up for offensive tackle Lane Johnson. But since we don't do trades in mocks, Werner is the choice. He's a dependable pass rusher who can stay in the game on run downs. Guard Jonathan Cooper and safety Kenny Vaccaro would likely get consideration from the Titans as well.
