Here we go.  Our post-free agency draft.  Confirming our belief that this year’s QB class is less than desired, several teams have signed free agent quaterbacks to lead them in 2013 (see Buffalo, Oakland, and (soon to be) Arizona).  Those, plus all other relevant signings have been taken into account in this latest mock.  Leave your comments below.

1	Kansas City Chiefs:	Luke Joeckel	OT	Texas A&M
	Analysis:  Even if Brandon Albert stays long term (not likely) Luke makes sense here.  If the Chiefs can’t convince another team to trade up for Geno Smith (Lord knows they’re trying), Luke should be the first player off the board.

2	Jacksonville Jaguars:	Dion Jordan	OLB	Oregon
	Analysis:  Pure speed…the only thing faster is how quick he’s shot up the draft board.  Jags are a mess, and need help at every position.  Dion can line up at OLB and DE, and provides the versatility they need.

3	Oakland Raiders	Sharrif Floyd	DT	Florida
	Analysis:  Signing Matt Flynn ends any speculation of Geno Smith here.  Floyd provides much needed stability to the D-line.

4	Philadelphia Eagles	Geno Smith	QB	West Virginia
	Analysis:  You gotta believe the Eagles’ board has Joeckel #1, and Eric Fisher may get a look here, but Chip Kelly can’t pass up Geno Smith.  The perfect QB to run his system.

5	Detroit Lions	Ezikel Ansah	DE	BYU
	Analysis:  Signing Chris Houston makes CB less of a need, and Detroit should take a long and hard look at Dee Millner.  However, the loss of Vanden Bosch and Cliff Avril should make DE their #1 priority.

6	Cleveland Browns	Dee Millner	CB	ALA
	Analysis:  Arguably the best athlete in the Draft.  Cleveland can’t pass up the value here.

7	Arizona Cardinals	Barkevious Mingo	DE	LSU
	Analysis:  Cards need pressure from the end.  Problem solved (plus best name in the Draft).

8	Buffalo Bills	Eric Fisher	OL	Central Mich
	Analysis:  Right or wrong, signing Kolb = no first round QB.  If Fisher is available, Buddy Nix should run this pick up to the podium.

9	NY Jets	Tavon Austin	WR	West Virginia
	Analysis:  The wild card team in the Top 10.  Rex Ryan and co. need to make a splash.  Tavon possesses Desean Jackson-like speed and elusiveness.  Will help immediately in the passing game and on kickoffs/punt returns.

10	Tennessee Titans	Chance Warmack	OG	Alabama
	Analysis:  Value, meet need pick.  Need pick, meet value.

11	San Diego Chargers	Lane Johnson	OL	Oklahoma
	Analysis:  This pick will be OL, and San Diego snags the last of the Top 3 OL.

12	Miami Dolphins	Xavier Rhodes	CB	FSU
	Analysis:  Fills a huge hole.

13	Tampa Bay Buccaneers	Desmond Trufant	CB	Washington
	Analysis: Unless the Bucs swing a deal for Revis Island, expect a corner to go here.

14	Carolina Panthers	Cordarrelle Patterson	WR	Tenn
	Analysis: Ranked as the best WR among the experts, Carolina would be ecstatic if Cordarrelle fell to them here.

15	New Orleans Saints	Star Loutelelei	NT	Utah
	Analysis:  Big, intimidating force with a minor heart problem.  Sounds like Rob Ryan just drafted himself.

16	St. Louis Rams	Jonathon Cooper	OG	North Carolina
	Analysis:  Alongside Jake Long would provide some much needed stability and toughness to the O-line.

17	Pittsburgh Steelers	Jarvis Jones	LB	Georgia
	Analysis:  Pittsburgh stays true to its board (and team philosophy) and addresses defense first.

18	Dallas Cowboys	Menelik Watson	OL	Texas
	Analysis:  Not a flashy pick by Jerrah standards, but the Cowboys need to protect their new $100 million man.

19	NY Giants	Sheldon Richardson	DT	Missouri
	Analysis:  No one’s better at picking value over need than the Giants.  Even with other holes to fill (CB, LB, OL) Richardson is too much value to pass up here.

20	Chicago Bears	Alec Ogletree	LB	Georgia
	Analysis:  Brian who?  Alec provides much needed youth to the Bears LB corps.

21	Cincinnati Bengals	Kenny Vaccaro	S	Texas
	Analysis:  The only question is whether Kenny will last this long.

22	St. Louis Rams	Eddie Lacy	RB	Alabama
	Analysis:  Softens the blow from losing Steven Jackson.

23	Minnesota Vikings	Bjoern Werner	DE	Florida St.
	Analysis:  Jared Allen part 2.

24	Indianapolis Colts	Tank Carradine	DE	Florida St.
	Analysis: Back to back Seminoles.  The Colts need to get young on the outside.  Freeney is gone and Robert Mathis is on the wrong side of 30.

25	Minnesota Vikings	Keenan Allen	WR	Cal
	Analysis:  Even with Jennings, the Vikes need more weapons for Ponder.

26	Green Bay Packers	Damontre Moore	DE	Texas A&M
	Analysis:  DaMonster’s fall from draft boards ends with the Packers.

27	Houston Texans	DeAndre Hopkins	WR	Clemson
	Analysis:  A great complement to Andre Johnson.

28	Denver Broncos	Johnthan Banks	CB	Miss St.
	Analysis:  Anyone see that playoff game, particularly the final 33 seconds of the fourth quarter?  Any questions?

29	New England Patriots	Jesse Williams	NT	Alabama
	Analysis:  Run stopping mauler.

30	Atlanta Falcons	Tyler Eifert	TE	Notre Dame
	Analysis:  Who better to learn from than Gonzo?

31	San Francisco 49ers	Justin Hunter	WR	Tennessee
	Analysis:  Niners could use a solid #2 WR.

32	Baltimore Ravens	Manti Te’o	LB	Notre Dame
	Analysis:  Will be the most scrutinized player drafted.  Add to that the pressure of replacing Ray Lewis plus convincing Lennay that Baltimore’s a great place to raise a family.
