Scott's '13 Official First Round Mock

I will introduce myself more later on but it's a pleasure to be invited by Derek to be a contributor to NFL Reverse. I am a native of Cleveland, Ohio and am a huge Browns fan; I'm also a follower of the Detroit Lions. You will see most of my articles focus on the Browns, Lions, and both the AFC/NFC North divisions. I was a two year starter on the offensive line at George Mason University, where I was an unanimous ICFF First-Team All-American, representing the Patriots.

I've done my best not to do 50 mock drafts this offseason, I have sat back, watched and waited. As a Browns fan, I've been more focused on the hope brought to the franchise by new owner Jimmy Haslam... and now his FBI investigation (the sad life of a Browns fan).

Here is my official 2013 NFL Mock Draft (note: trades are not considered):

1. Kansas City: OT Eric Fisher (Central Michigan)
2. Jacksonville: OT Luke Joeckel (Texas A&M)
3. Oakland: DT Sharrif Floyd (Florida)
4. Philadelphia: OT Lane Johnson (Oklahoma)
5. Detroit: DE Ezekiel Ansah (BYU)
6. Cleveland: CB Dee Milliner (Alabama)
7. Arizona: OG Jonathan Cooper (UNC)
8. Buffalo: WR Tavon Austin (WVU)
9. New York (Jets): DE Barkevious Mingo (LSU)
10. Tennessee: DT Star Lotulelei (Utah)
11. San Diego: OG Chance Warmack (Alabama)
12. Miami: OT D.J. Fluker (Alabama)
13. New York (Jets): QB Geno Smith (WVU)
14. Carolina: DT Sheldon Richardson (Mizzou)
15. New Orleans: DT Sylvester Williams (UNC)
16. St. Louis: S Kenny Vaccaro (Texas)
17. Pittsburgh: OLB Jarvis Jones (UGA)
18. Dallas: S Jonathan Cyprien (FIU)
19. New York (Giants): DE Bjoern Werner (FSU)
20. Chicago: LB Arthur Brown (K-State)
21. Cincinnati: RB Eddie Lacy (Alabama)
22. St. Louis: FS Eric Reid (LSU)
23. Minnesota: WR Justin Hunter (Tennessee)
24. Indianapolis: CB Xavier Rhodes (FSU)
25. Minnesota: ILB Manti Te'o (ND)
26. Green Bay: TE Tyler Eifert (ND)
27. Houston: ILB  Kevin Minter (LSU)
28. Denver: S Matt Elam (Florida)
29. New England: CB Johnathan Banks (MSST)
30. Atlanta: CB Desmond Trufant (Washington)
31. San Francisco: DE Cornellius Carradine (FSU)
32. Baltimore: CB Jamar Taylor (Boise St)

I'm sure I'll be increasingly wrong as the draft goes on and trades will definitely be my undoing! As long as the Browns take Milliner, I will be happy!
