Derek Stein's First Round Mock Draft

The 2013 NFL Draft is one of the hardest to predict, even in the first round. This draft class is filled with more talent than people believe due to the depth of talent. This mock draft is part of a competition with some of the other NFL Reverse writers, and includes potential trades. I know we're all looking forward to see how it all shakes out tonight at 8pm!

I believe that there will be a run on offensive tackles with the first 3 picks. From there, it's almost a toss up as to what will happen. This is by far one of the most unpredictable drafts so it was difficult to put together. It was tough leaving DJ Hayden out of the first round, but I just didn't see where he fit in anywhere in this mock. If any corner will drop out of the first round, it will be Hayden due to the fact that his injury gave us a smaller sample size of play than most of the other corners. It will be interesting to see what really happens, I'm expecting a lot of trades.
