2013 NFL Mock Draft: Titan Sized 2 Round Mock
By Josh Gunnels
Second Round
Sep 29, 2012; College Station, TX, USA; Texas A
33. Jacksonville Jaguars
DE Damontre Moore, Texas A&M – This is an easy pick for the Jags. They’ve gotten their shutdown cornerback with their first pick, so keep rebuilding the defense. They do so with the addition of Moore, who was a lock for the top 10 just a month ago. – Matias Wodner
34. San Francisco 49ers
FS Eric Reid, LSU – Dashon Goldson left town and the 49ers have a hole there. Reid should fill it nicely with his 6’1, 213 lbs frame. He variates between hot and cold with his play, but the 49ers need someone to step in and play and Reid should be able to do just that. – Justin Stewart
35. Philadelphia Eagles
CB Robert Alford, SE Louisiana – Philadelphia Eagles need to replace Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. If they don’t take Dee Milliner, look for a cornerback in round two or three. – Joshua Huffman
36. Detroit Lions
DE Sam Montgomery, LSU – The Lions continue the late run on defensive ends. Cornerback has been raided and they got their offensive lineman in the first round. Montgomery was just sitting there for the taking and will immediately help out in the end rotation. – Josh Gunnels
37. Cincinnati Bengals
ILB Kevin Minter, LSU – Rey Maualuga was re-signed, but he didn’t play very well last year. Minter is really good, and defines the position of a “thumper” at middle linebacker. He can make this Mike Zimmer defense even better. – Matias Wodner
38. Arizona Cardinals
OT D.J. Fluker, Alabama – Arizona can have whoever they want at QB, but if they aren’t doing anything to protect the guy, they’re going to keep seeing the same results. With Cooper in the first round and Fluker in the second, the Cardinal can now look to bolster other positions and leave their line alone for some years now. – Justin Stewart
39. New York Jets
DT Sheldon Richardson, Missouri – I’m not sure why or how he fell this far, but Rex Ryan is cool with it. – Joshua Huffman
40. Tennessee Titans
WR Cordarelle Patterson, Tennessee – Is this real? The number one offensive threat in the draft fell to number 40? Uh…okay. As much as I hate to do it, the Titans probably feel like they can take BPA at this point and work with the rotation they have at DE. The best CB’s are off the board and can wait another round. – Josh Gunnels
41. Buffalo Bills
WR Keenan Allen, Cal – With a franchise quarterback already under their belt, the Bills need to give him something more to work with. Stevie Johnson and CJ Spiller are very good offensive players, but adding a big, physical receiver like Allen can help a young quarterback develop quicker. – Matias Wodner
42. Miami Dolphins
OT Terron Armstead, Arkansas-Pine Bluff – With Jake Long packing his bags to head to St. Louis, OT suddenly becomes a bit of a need. The Dolphins grabbed a couple WR’s in free agency, most notably Mike Wallace, and they filled their CB need in the first round with Desmond Trufant. Need filled again. – Justin Stewart
43. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
DT Kawann Short, Purdue – Tampa Bay Buccaneers do need some help on the defensive line. If they don’t get Sheldon Richardson or Star Loutelei, then they can wait until round two or three. – Joshua Huffman
44. Carolina Panthers
CB Blidi Wreh-wilson, Connecticut – The Panthers continue the run on corners and continue to pick defense. They lost Chris Gamble to free agency and their defense is definitely the main need of focus for the off season. – Josh Gunnels
45. San Diego Chargers
OT Kyle Long, Oregon – Long is one of the more underrated prospects in this draft. He’ll be perfect for the Chargers, who always need offensive line help. – Matias Wodner
46. St. Louis Rams
OG Larry Warford, Kentucky – The Rams picked up Jake Long, but they’ve also lost some depth along the line. They’d also like to make things easier for Sam Bradford and their newly added RB Eddie Lacy. – Justin Stewart
47. Dallas Cowboys
OL Barrett Jones, Alabama – As usual, the Dallas Cowboys need help on their offensive line. – Joshua Huffman
48. Pittsburgh Steelers
WR Justin Hunter, Tennessee – Justin Hunter offers too much value for the Steelers to pass up. Mike Wallace hit it big in free agency and Hunter’s a big target for their big QB to throw to. – Josh Gunnels
