I know Im going to get a lot of bull$hit for mocking way too damn early but go ahead, IDC. I know many many of yall huddlers on here been thinking of it too and are just too scare to do so. Well let me be the first. Thank you. =P

I think at the end of the day, we'll be picking around the No.15-24 spot. Im tired of watching Godfrey and Martin sleep back there (no its not just 1 preseason game, its 2 years now) so lets make it easy. 2013 is going "Defense", like always.

1st RD: TJ McDonald (FS) USC, 6'3" 205lbs

With the 1st pick of the 2013 Draft, RR pick TJ McDonald to replace Sherrod Martin. I would rather have Eric Reid but I see him being the first to go out of this Safety class. Remember Rivera came out and said that they had Mark Barron ranked higher than Kuechly on their Draft Board not long ago. Obviously Rivera knows that as a concern and he definitely wont be passing a FS like McDonald. If Robert Lester, Mark Barron's teammate at Alabama rises his stock, he could also very well be the pick, but I see McDonald ontop of Lester.

By picking McDonald, we finally will have that FS who has great speed that can cover a lot of ground in the back field. McDonald is great at picking up receivers and is rarely seen getting beat in coverage. A FS who is great at covering his ground can definitely tackles and has shown that he is also a ball hawker.

2nd RD: Matt Elam (SS) UF, 5'10" 202lbs

Rivera pick another Safety right after he just took TJ McDonald in the first.

Matt Elam is projected as a third rounder, but if he has another consistent season this year, he can see his stock rises. He's a true SS unlike all the other bigger name Safeties in this draft. I mean just go look at how the kid is built. He looks to part on how a SS should look like. Elam is a very underrated Safety who can covers the ground in pass coverage by showing he can truly run with the WRs and Tight Ends. And lets not forget Elam is a good tackler in the box. " Bye bye Godfrey".

A Bacarri Rambo or Ray Ray Armstrong should still be there on the board in the 2nd, but both comes with off the field issues. Matt Elam is still a very very good Safety who comes with a cleaner sheet.

YEAH, SAFETIES BACK TO BACK!!!!!

HATERS GONNA HATE.

      Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
