McShay's
 

By Bill Williamson | ESPN.com

Apparently, it’s never too early for a mock draft.

Four days after the end of the 2012 NFL draft, Todd McShay of Scouts Inc. has come up with his initial mock draft for 2013. Of course, many things will happen, so give credit to McShay for taking a shot at this. The draft order was compiled by the current power rankings of Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc.

Let’s take a look at McShay’s mock.

No. 6, Oakland Raiders

USC quarterback Matt Barkley

My take: Another USC quarterback to Oakland. I could see it. But I have a feeling Barkley is going to be drafted first or second. I don’t see Oakland getting close to being able to draft him.

No. 16, San Diego Chargers

North Carolina guard Jonathan Cooper

My take: If the Chargers don’t make the playoffs for a third straight year, they’ll need to get more than guard.

No 18, Denver Broncos

Notre Dame inside linebacker Manti Te'o

My take: Denver’s needs continue to evolve, but Te'o is a good player and a good fit.

No. 19, Kansas City Chiefs

Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones

My take: The Chiefs will likely get a quarterback next year if Matt Cassel doesn’t have a great season. Will Jones be available at No. 19?

I'm pretty sure my head will explode if we draft Landry Jones.

Nice. We're going to win the division.

Not only are we winning the division, we're also not making the playoffs!

Haha

McShay

That's one of the reasons I was willing to accept Tannehill this year. If KC ends up with 6-9 wins, they will be taking a QB with just as many, albeit different, blemishes as Tannehill.

McShay is an idiot

I noticed this on another mock yesterday, maybe it was Schrager's?

It's like they completely missed the point that the division winner auto-qualifies for the playoffs.

Jones will either thrive this year w/out Broyles and be a top 6 pick. Or struggle like he finished last year and be a 2/3 rounder.

No meal is better than...forget that. No its not.
