My Top 100 Prospects for the 2013 NFL Draft



Just hours before the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft kicks off, I've compiled my list of the Top 100 Prospects ranked by position. To put this list together, I've poured over dozens of available online game tape. The list includes heights, weights, college statistics and workout numbers for each player. You can view and print the PDF file HERE.

My out of left field predictions for this draft class:

HOF Offensive Player: LT Lane Johnson
HOF Defensive Player: DT Sharrif Floyd
Offensive Superstar Sleeper: TE Travis Kelce & QB Matt Scott
Defensive Superstar Sleeper: CB Jamar Taylor
Offensive Bust: QB Matt Barkley
Defensive Bust: OLB Barkevious Mingo

Here are NFL Comparisons for my Top 10 Players in this draft:

  1. DT (3T/5T DE) Sharrif Floyd (Warren Sapp)
  2. OLB (LEO) Dion Jordan (Jason Taylor)
  3. LT Lane Johnson (Joe Staley – the best LT in today’s NFL by far)
  4. LT Eric Fisher (Joe Thomas)
  5. WR Tavon Austin (Percy Harvin - with more speed and less headaches)
  6. OG Jonathan Cooper (Randall McDaniel)
  7. LT Luke Joeckel (Todd Steussie – 11-year starter & two-time Pro Bowl selection)
  8. DT (3T/5T DE) Sheldon Richardson (Gerald McCoy)
  9. DE (LEO) Ezekiel Ansah (Jason Paul-Pierre – with even less football experience)
  10. DT (NT/5T DE) Star Lotulelei (Dan Wilkinson – 12 year starter & 54.5 career sacks)

Happy Mike Mayock Day everyone.
