    WalterFootball.com: 2013 NFL Mock Draft

    Super early and anything can happen, but I thought it was interesting that he projects 4 tigers in the first round.

    1) Sam Montgomery DE/OLB to colts at #6

    2) Alex Hurst OT to Cardinals at #10

    3) Tyran Matheiu CB to Eagles at #19

    4) Christ Faulk OT to Chargers at #20


    Can anybody tell me if LSU's ever had two OT's drafted in the first round?

    I wouldn't be surprised to see Eric Reid's name added to that list, especially if we run the table next year.

    I don't see Hurst or Mathieu getting drafted that high

    Unless Mathieu drastically improves in man-to-man, he will not sniff the first round. Eric Reid should be on that list also.

    Agreed to me that list is a joke. How are the already assigning draft positions for the teams anyway.

    Even if he does improve his coverage skills, he is so undersized I don't think there is any way he is a 1st round pick. I doubt he'll be 2nd rounder either. The NFL drafts are based largely on measurables, and he doesn't have the prototypical size for an NFL CB. He may be great, but he will have to prove it all over again in the NFL. I would expect 3rd to late round, assuming he continues to be a great college player.

    Agree, and that will be the great story of the nfl season in 2013. How the Honey Badger overcomes all odds and has to prove the skeptics wrong.

    Faulk will have to improve a lot. He was horrible in a few games not just the title game.

    Part of me agrees with this, part of me doesn't. If I had a team, I would be with you 100%, but just look at what the Broncos did for Tebow. I felt the same way about Tebow, and yet someone took him in the first round. I think a team will take a chance on him because NO ONE has instincts like Mathieu and coaches have inflated egos that make them think they can teach anyone basics. I think Mathieu turns out to be a Reggie Bush with the Saints type player. Good with some impact here and there, but not what people may think he'll be.

    As for Reid, I agree.

    These projections are way too high.
