With the 2013 NFL Draft set to begin later today, all 32 teams are sifting through results from the Combine, college pro days, private workouts, and interviews as they finalize their judgments on this year's pool of players and set their draft board. Without a consensus No. 1 pick such as Andrew Luck from last year, the 2013 NFL Draft should be an intriguing one to follow, with several prospects in contention to hear their name called first at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
Below are my projections for the first round of the draft:
1. Kansas City Chiefs: OT Eric Fisher, Central Michigan
2. Jacksonville Jaguars: DT Star Lotulelei, Utah
3. Oakland Raiders: OT Luke Joeckel, Texas A&M
4. Philadelphia Eagles: DE Dion Jordan, Oregon
5. Detroit Lions: DE Ezekiel Ansah, BYU
6. Cleveland Browns: WR Tavon Austin, West Virginia
7. Arizona Cardinals: OT Lane Johnson, Oklahoma
8. Buffalo Bills: QB Ryan Nassib, Syracuse
9. New York Jets: DT Shariff Floyd, Florida
10. Tennessee Titans: CB Dee Milliner, Alabaman
11. San Diego Chargers: OG Chance Warmack, Alabama
12. Miami Dolphins: DE Barkevious Mingo, LSU
13. New York Jets (from Tampa Bay): QB Geno Smith, West Viriginia
14. Carolina Panthers: DT Sheldon Richardson, Missouri
15. New Orleans Saints: LB Jarvis Jones, Georgia
16. St. Louis Rams: S Kenny Vaccaro, Texas
17. Pittsburgh Steelers: OG Jonathan Cooper, Georgia
18. Dallas Cowboys: DT Sylvester Williams, North Carolina
19. New York Giants: OT Justin Pugh, Syracuse
20. Chicago Bears: OG D.J. Fluker, Alabama
21. Cincinnati Bengals: WR DeAndre Hopkins, Clemson
22. St. Louis Rams: WR Cordarrelle Patterson, Tennessee
23. Minnesota Vikings: WR Keenan Allen, California

25. Minnesota Vikings (from Seattle): CB D.J. Hayden, Houston
26. Green Bay Packers: S Jonathan Cyprien, FIU
27. Houston Texans: WR Robert Woods, USC
28. Denver Broncos: TE Tyler Eifert, Notre Dame
29. New England Patriots: CB Xavier Rhodes, Tennessee
