The Patriots traded out of the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft, picking up a monster haul of picks from the Vikings.

The New England Patriots’ best chance to improve their roster is less than three weeks away, when the 2013 NFL Draft begins.
With only five total picks in this year’s draft and only three within the first six rounds, it is important for the Patriots to maximize their selections for both value and need, especially with their picks in Round 1-3.

I continued with my Google+ hangouts with some of the biggest name players down here in Mobile. Today’s crop of players all possessed great character, were well spoken and have perfomed very well so far this week. Among the names to stop by our set up today were Oregon’s Kyle Long, Arkansas’s Tyler Wilson, UCLA’s Johnathan Franklin and Datone Jones as well as Missouri Southern stud NT Brandon Williams. Check out what these prospects had to say about the Senior Bowl and their future NFL endevours.

2013 NFL Mock Draft: Updated January 3rd, 2013
1. Kansas City Chiefs
Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia (SCOUTING REPORT)
There isn’t an Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III in this draft class, just like most years. That isn’t to say that this class of quarterbacks doesn’t have talent – they’ll just need a little more development.
Smith has phenomenal touch down the field and is comfortable with pressure in his face, two things that the Chiefs have lacked with Matt Cassel under center. Kansas City could also take the best player available here and target a second tier quarterback (Matt Barkley, Ryan Nassib, Mike Glennon, Zac Dysert) with their second round pick.
