I’ve wrote articles talking about each of the first 5 teams in this draft and their top 5 options for their picks. Now lets take a look at each team and project who each of them will take in the first part of my 2013 mock draft.
Jan 4, 2013; Arlington, TX, USA; Texas A
1. Kansas City Chiefs — Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
With the addition of Alex Smith and Chase Daniels to be his backup, drafting Geno Smith seems unlikely. The Chiefs would more than likely love to trade out of this pick, but it’s too hard to predict trades so I’m not going to. The Chiefs franchised Branden Albert, but they let Eric Winston go. Joeckel could come in straight away and start opposite Albert on whichever side they wanted him too.

2. Jacksonville Jaguars — Jarvis Jones, LB, Georgia
The Jaguars pass rush was non-existent last year. They had the least amount of sacks of anyone in the league. Jarvis Jones is a very versatile player who can rush the passer as well as anyone. He can be used much like Von Miller is used in Denver. Jones is very adept at forcing turnovers and getting to the QB. Both things that the Jaguars were really bad at last year.
