With all the mock drafts floating around the internet I figured I’d jump on the bandwagon and make one myself.
It’s intriguing to judge this draft class because let it be none there is a bunch of talent throughout the players, but lacking in the big name department (the Andrew Luck’s and RGIII’s of the world).
It’s a rich class when it comes to offensive linemen and defensive ends with interesting talent at other positions. So this poses the question: Who’s going to take who?
Other than just naming off my picks I’m also going to examine who I think the Giants should take with the 19th pick, but without further delay here are my first round picks in order by team for the 2013 NFL Draft:

I believe Sheldon Richardson is who the Giants should aim for if he’s still around that point in the draft. With the G-Men lacking at defensive tackle after releasing Canty a few weeks ago they’ll need someone big and powerful to fill up those holes on the d-line.
Now this is all speculation because the Giants will most certainly take the best player on the board. Though, they should consider focusing on a defensive linemen to help improve their 28th ranked running defense from a year ago.
We’re only a month and a half away from the draft and it should be an exciting one to watch and look forward too.
