PFH First Mock Draft

IT'S DRAFT SEASON LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

CHIEFS - 1st Overall Pick - Luke Joeckel OT, Texas A&M

Luke Joeckel is hands down the best tackle in this draft, and in my opinion, the first pick of the NFL Draft. He played left tackle at Texas A&M last season and did a great job. He will continue on with that role into the NFL. Good foot work and is very strong. A starter from day one.

 

JAGUARS - 2nd Overall Pick - Geno Smith QB, WVU

Geno Smith is in my opinion, raw talent at the quarterback position. He can make a lot of plays on his feet, but can hurt you with his strong arm. Is he my top qaurterback talent wise? No. I personally believe Matt Barkley and Mike Glennon are better decision makers than Geno Smith. Look for him to be the first quarterback to be taken off the list within the first three picks. He will remind you of a Cam Newton, except Geno Smith will throw more often.

RAIDERS - 3rd Overall Pick - Chance Warmack OG, Alabama

Chance Warmack is the best football player in this draft in my personal opinion. He has a great football IQ. He has it all for an offensive lineman. Pass blocking ability along with elite run blocking capabilities. Will help the screen game as well. You can not pass up on a talent like Warmack if you are in need of a guard or improvement of your running game. Warmack is very alert and everything you look for in his position.

Lions S Spievey's Days could be Numbered

     Detroit Lions safety Amari Spievey is a restricted free agent. However, the Lions are not too hot on bringing back Spievey due to health problems. Spievey has suffered from four concussions in his life now, and was knocked out early last year with another against the Bears. Lions GM Martin Mayhew had this to say about Spievey: "Yeah, I think it's just the total package of everything he's dealt with," Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said. "He obviously was a good player for us when he was healthy, but we'll have to take a wait-and-see approach on that."
     Now this makes safety an area of need for the Lions if they decide to go another direction. They will need to pay close attention this week in Indianapolis to that position as they will either have to draft one or pick up a safety during Free Agency.

USC WR Robert Woods Highlights

That's a Wrap!

     Well, the season is over. A very strange season in my opinion. We seen rookies shine bright and we seen vets come back and play some of the best football they have ever played in their career. When it started, replacement officials were the headline. Now at the end of the season, a questionable blown call by the regular officials linger in 49ers fan's heads. It ended with a Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl victory and a NFL legend holding the Lombardi trophy in his very last game.

     Now we turn to the offseason. The longest offseason in all of professional sports. As sad as that makes all of us as fans, here at Pro Football Hotline will be shifting our attentions to the NFL Draft. The Scouting Combine will be held in roughly three weeks, and as die hard NFL Fans, we ponder on who will be the next piece to their team. Will this rookie class be as good as the last? It was a great 2012 season, but it's time to move forward with 2013!
