After the Super Bowl concluded the 2012 NFL Season on Sunday, football fans turn their full focus to the 2013 NFL Draft. Ravens fans can continue to enjoy their big Super Bowl XLVII win, but the rest of the league is ready to move on. Every team will need to be tweaked, re-shaped, or turned over this offseason and the Draft is a huge part of the team-building process in today’s NFL.

With all the impact players selected on the offensive side of the ball in the last few years, it’s important for fantasy football owners to be aware of the rookies who will make an impact next season. It used to be conventional wisdom to avoid rookies in fantasy football, but with Russell Wilson, Andrew Luck, RG3, Alfred Morris, Cam Newton, Colin Kaepernick, and others exploding onto the scene  after the last few drafts, rookies are now very viable fantasy options.

Here’s our first Mock Draft of this offseason with plenty more to come as we work through the pre-draft process.

Each FantasyCPR mock draft is featured in the mock draft databases at WalterFootball.com, DC Pro Sports Report,  Sports Jabber, hailredskins.com, eatdrinkandsleepfootball.com, and fftoolbox.com.

1. Kansas City Chiefs
Luke Joeckel, OT-Texas A&M
Analysis: There’s a good chance the Chiefs move down a bit in the draft and pick Geno Smith while letting someone move up for the consensus best player in the draft. It’s still way to early to project trades so in this first version I’ll have KC staying put and taking Joeckel. If he’s the pick, he’ll help Jamaal Charles be even better while becoming a fixture up front for the Chiefs. I think Joeckel will be the pick, but I don’t think it’ll be the Chiefs who keep this pick.

2. Jacksonville Jaguars
Bjoern Werner, DE/OLB-Florida State  
Analysis:  Werner would instantly help the Jags depleted pass rush. Jacksonville has a host of needs, but would be wise to stay in-state and grab Werner for the defensive front.

3. Oakland Raiders
Star Lotulelei, DT-Utah
Analysis: Oakland’s defense has aged less-than-gracefully and they need an impact player in their defense. Lotulelei is versatile and will help take up space in the middle and blow up plays as an inside rusher. The Raiders could go lots of directions with this pick since they have areas of need at multiple positions.

4. Philadelphia Eagles
Geno Smith, QB-West Virginia
Fantasy Impact: Chip Kelly needs the right quarterback for his offense, and the best one in this year’s class is Smith who will make a solid addition if he’s still on the board. Smith was a little up-and-down this year for the Mountaineers but can definitely be successful in the right system with the playmakers on the Eagles roster. Smith may not be a QB1 in his first year and burst onto the scene like RG3, Andrew Luck, and Russell Wilson did this year. He may not even get the full-time starters role if the Eagles acquire a QB elsewhere, but he could be a good pick if he’s there for Chip at this point. Training camp, preseason, and the off-season will go a long way to deciding Smith’s value, but he could be a solid QB2 provided he’s at the helm from game #1 for the Eagles.

5. Detroit Lions
Damontre Moore, DE-Texas A&M
Analysis: In a division with Aaron Rodgers and Jay Cutler, the Lions need the ability to get after the quarterback. With Ndamukong Suh on one side and Da Monster on the other the Lions will be able to get after the QB. The secondary needs improvement too, but look for Detroit to address that need in the later rounds.

6. Cleveland Browns
Barkevious Mingo, DE/OLB-LSU
Analysis: Mingo is perfect for the Browns new 3-4 defense and will be a beast coming off the edge. Cleveland needs help in multiple areas, but at this point it’s too early for another quarterback and Michael Lombardi will take a player who can be a big part of his team’s defensive rebuilding.

7. Arizona Cardinals
Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
Analysis: The Cardinals need a quarterback, no question. The problem is there’s not any great options on the board, and even if there were they couldn’t keep him upright behind their porous offensive line.

8. Buffalo Bills
Matt Barkley, QB-USC
Fantasy Impact: There seems to be little doubt that Buffalo will go with a QB at this pick. It will most likely be Barkley or Mike Glennon from NC State. Barkley will be a nice pickup for the Bills and their new head coach Doug Marrone and I think he’ll be a solid NFL QB for the Bills. For fantasy purposes, he lacks the upside of the dual threat QB’s but could be a solid QB2 given the Bills weapons on offense if he gets the starts right out of the gate. 

9. New York Jets
Dee Millner, CB-Alabama
Analysis: If the Jets trade Darrelle Revis, they’ll need a top cover corner to continue to do what the do on defense. Millner has the size and skill to step in and start in the NFL right away as the top CB in this year’s class.

10. Tennessee Titans
Chance Warmack-OG-Albama
Analysis: Warmack is a great grab at this point in the draft for the Titans who need help along the offensive interior. The Titans offense has some great weapons if Jake Locker continues to develop and getting him help up front will definitely go a long way to helping the former Washington Huskies QB.

11. San Diego Chargers
Xavier Rhodes, CB-Florida State:
Analysis: With the Chargers starting corners free agents and the top offensive line options off the board, it makes sense for them to consider Rhodes who is a tough, physical corner who has the potential to matchup well with the bigger wide receivers in the league.

12. Miami Dolphins
Keenan Allen, WR-California
Fantasy Impact: The Dolphins saw enough from Ryan Tannehill in year one to give him another year or two under center, but he needs options at wide receiver if he wants to take the next step. The Miami offense could use a big, possession receiver who runs nice routes with explosion after the catch. Allen is the best fit and is considered by most the best receiver in a deep but not star-studded wide receiver class. If the Dolphins do go wide-out, whoever they choose will have enormous potential in fantasy since he’ll immediately have the chance to become a top option in a developing offense.

13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Johnthan Banks, CB-Mississippi State
Analysis: After trading the pick to Dallas last year instead of taking Morris Claiborne, the Bucs are still in need at the CB position. They also traded away Aqib Talib last season and could cut Eric Wright and get out of his guaranteed money. Banks is a big corner who excelled even in the SEC meaning he should have a relatively smooth transition and can impact the needs Bucs secondary right away.

14. Carolina Panthers
Sheldon Richarson, DT-Missouri
Analysis:  Richardson is a tackling machine up the middle and with Luke Kuechly behind him can solidify the Panthers run defense for years to come. The Panthers defense needs to improve and this would be a big step in the right direction.

15. New Orleans Saints
Jarvis Jones, DE-Georgia
Analysis: The Saints need help on defense and getting Jones this late in the first round could pay off if he can overcome injury concers. I don’t think Jones will last this long but he does need to overcome the concerns about his spinal stenosis to move up on the board.

Right after the thanksgiving game when coach Rex Ryan named Mark Sanchez starter in the following week we all knew the “Tebow Era” in New York was near its death. Even though Tebow has two years left on his contract in New York he will most likely ask to be traded… Tebow wants to start and not sit on the bench watching other people play. The only problem is that there are not many teams that would want Tim Tebow under center. Here a couple destinations where Tebow could land in the upcoming season.

Jacksonville Jaguars

The clear favorite where Tebow should go next year. He is from the area and he is a legend in University of Florida. When Manning went to Denver last year everyone thought he would end up as a Jaguar. Lucky for Tim, the Jags haven’t been able to put together anything this last couple years with no QB and what would be better then some Tebow Time. For some reasons, people don’t like Tebow, but if he were to go to JAX he would be a fan favorite right away.

Buffalo Bills

Whens the last time ESPN went to upstate New York? Buffalo has been a joke that last couple years not even putting up a fight for the division or even the wild card. Ryan Fitzpatrick is clearly not a long-term QB in Buffalo and what if the Bills new head coach might like the idea of having an athletic quarterback. He could bring Buffalo a fan base and make their offense and games more fun to watch. The Bills could become a top rushing team with Tebow at QB  since they have CJ.Spiller who clearly showed last year he is the real deal. Imagine the read option with them two!

Arizona Cardinals

People have been saying that Mark Sanchez could play in ARI but I feel that the other Jets QB has a better chance. Josh McDaniels is the OC of the Patriots and was formally on Denver’s coaching staff. If you re-unite Mcdaniels and Tebow and give him a REAL chance at the starting spot then well thats all Tebow is asking for someone that believes in him.

These are a few teams that could use some Tebow magic to spark them. Tebow should be able to get a chance anywhere he goes. He did well in Denver and basically made a 1-4 team and made them all better players and look where Denver is now…

Fellow NFL coaches, players and Owners: like ESPN analyst Skip Bayless always says “FREE TEBOW”
