For the Breakdown of picks by school and division in this draft check out: DJ Boyer’s Mock Draft pick Breakdown

1. Kansas City Luke Joeckel OT Texas A&M

Andy Reid is making this more and more apparent that building a line in Kansas City is top priority. Even with Brandon Albert in the fold Joeckel looks to be the pick and one of them will be manning the right side of the line. Eric Winston has hit the free agent market so there will be an opening for Joeckel to step in immediately and contribute. With Alex Smith now a Chief this is a team that believe it or not, has a chance to challenge in the AFC West. You have players like Jamaal Charles and Dwayne Bowe in the fold on offense. With a little more consistency from the defense led by Derrick Johnson (one of the most underrated linebackers in the NFL) this team could be challenging for a wild card right away because after Denver this division is a topsy-turvy.

2. Jacksonville Eric Fisher

2013 NFL Mock Draft Offensive Tackle.

3. Oakland Shariff Floyd DT Florida

So many needs in Oakland and as usual they find themselves over the salary cap. The defense has a number of holes and there is issue with depth at virtually every position. This is where the Geno Smith sweepstakes were supposed to start heating up, and they will unless the Matt Flynn to Oakland rumor does not happen. If Flynn brings his skills to Oakland then Philadelphia looks like the one team that may try to get a deal going by showing more and more interest in Smith. Floyd just seems like the safe pick here and the release of Tommy Kelly seems to signify this as well.

4. Philadelphia Lane Johnson

2013 NFL Mock Draft Offensive Tackle.

5. Detroit Ezekial “Ziggy” Ansah

2013 NFL Mock Draft Defensive End.
