2013 NFL Mock Draft Round Two
 

Here is the follow up to my first round. No pictures this time because it takes ages and wanted to get it out asap. The link is there to my first round too. Sorry if any players are returning for senior years etc but everything checked out over a week ago when I wrote it. Here it is, what you think?

Even as a Michigan State fan I can't get behind the Johnny Adams pick for Baltimore. It's not really a need and he definitely isn't a BPA type of pick. I'm not a big fan of Okafor but he would probably be the best pick in that scenario.

I'll comment on your 1st round here since I didn't see the link in the other thread.

I don't like your Raiders pick of Milliner at all.
Premise 1) Raiders have absolutely nothing at cornerback. This is true
Premise 2) Dee Milliner is a fantastic prospect at CB. This is true.
Solution) Draft a CB at #3 overall. No thank you.

The Raiders are suffering from a dearth of talent all over their team on defense. It's likely both Richard Seymour and Tommy Kelly will be out of Oakland when the team sets up training camp. They don't have a single impact pass rusher at DE either. They have absolutely nothing at MLB with Rolando McClain likely to be cut or traded. And Reggie McKenzie comes from the Ron Wolf tree that seems to build teams from the trenches out. I could see Star Lotulelei here or Jarvis Jones/Bjoern Werner.

I don't think Milliner is the solution to the Raiders problems.

Since you are a fan you probably know more about him than me, but do you not think he looked very good in his junior year? I'd say it is a need for Baltimore, I'm watching their playoff game right now and you can see they don't have a solid number 3 corner

you may be right but I went a different direction because oakland always seem to do something 'special' on draft day. I know front seven prospects are more highly coveted but I can't help but think Oakland will do something unexpected, hence my pick of Milliner. I know you are using logic in thinking the Milliner pick won't happen, but when have they ever used logic in the draft. If I mocked them Heyward Bey or predicted they'd throw away picks for Palmer a year ago, people wouldn't have thought it possible either. Star and Werner are overrated imo and I can see a mini slide for Jones because of health issues, not quite Bowers level but still significant

All of that history was under the reign of Al Davis. I get that the Raiders have been very unconventional in years past, but we are talking about a new Raiders now.

I dunno, I don't think the Raiders will ever be vanilla

Sure, you can be absolutely blind to the facts. That's your constitutional right. It just makes you look stupid.

Webb will be back next season and hopefully Smith will be healthy. Asa Jackson is also out because of a suspension. If you're just basing it off of this game and the past few you could say CB is a need but the unit isn't anywhere near full strength. As for Adams as a prospect he did look good last year but I never thought he was a top 3 round guy. His size is going to be something that goes against him too.

I'm Scottish mate, so really don't have any rights detailed to me via an outdated document. Besides not sure how making a little remark about how the Raiders are always interesting make me look stupid. Do you know in advance that the new Raiders FO is going to be so different come draft night?

Jordan is not a bad pick at all. I like Jordan a lot. But Barkevious Mingo intrigues me. He is a guy who might be able to play the role that Bruce Irvin with the Seahawks or Von Miller with the Broncos play for their respective teams.
