Gil Brandt's 2013 mock draft is out

[panthers55]

Say you want about Brandt but that old man is one of the most knowledgeable guys in football. He is very good evaluating talent.

He was one of the (few) media guys that I read that actually gave a knowledgeable evaluation on Cam too. Most importantly didn't base his opinion on Cam from what some other people said and based it off of all he had known as a fact at that time.

why would the Raiders draft Geno Smith when they already have Terrelle Pryor?

You do know that Geno Smith is NOT a running QB right? He's a pocket passer (and a very good one) that can extend plays if he has too, but he's nowhere near Wilson, Cam, RG3, Pryer, type of a runner. Not sure where the comparisons are (and Geno should be much better). Geno is a very smart football player and I think he'll do well in the NFL.

That being said, I wouldn't mind Terrance Williams in the 2nd maybe. Seems like a deep draft for WR so I hope we at least take someone in the first few rounds.

-John Cochran voice- If your pick's in the middle of the first round, YOU MUST TRADE DOWN!!!!.

merely rustling feathers... some WV fanboy thought we should scrap Cam for Geno..

A football mind I respect.he knows this team needs to address wr early, and this guy must be his #1 wr right now, but it is plenty of time.

[TerriblePizza]

I don't know why people take so much stock in such early mock drafts.

[countryboi]

I would love Chance Warmack but he is going to be long gone.

[Rags]

idk what's up with you guys if we took Terrance Williams we'd have a beast of a WR.

i wouldn't mind this guy at all.

Wouldn't be upset with Hopkins, Allen, Rogers Hunter or even Woods (lol usc WR) in the first two rounds.

i was just going to mention all this.

the guy is as legit as anyone. not someone i would easily dismiss regardless of how unlikely i thought his draft would be.

Don't disrespect Geno like that. The guy is a pure passer. Nobody ever thought pryor was ever gonna be drafted to play QB.

He's just feeling the breeze

I wouldn't mind T-Will and think him and Hopkins present us with the best deep threat options in the draft.

Not my top choice at 14 of course but not vehemently against it.

Just looking at the scouting report, I like the fact that he's a good red zone receiver. That is a big need for us imo.

That's about as far as my knowledge goes with him and most college prospects. I like to evaluate people as we get closer to the draft by watching games of those listed as possible picks. I don't know how you guys keep up with so many prospects, it's mind boggling.

Here's another mock by CBS Sports.

It get's worse. Mike Glennon at #8.........

Why they keep mocking us as picking a DT. Our defense played pretty well last year. The O line and the receiver corp let us down most of the time. I don't get it. We need to fix the offense in this draft because it's not difficult. We only need two pieces and that's it. OL & WR

Just get it done then we can draft defensive players the next 5 years. Please!
