2013 NFL Mock Draft: Ed's Big Blue View mock draft

All of you draftniks around here have been having your fun for months now. And our man Jesse Bartolis has done a great job spear-heading our 2013 NFL Draft coverage, with prospect profiles, his seven-round mock draft and a Big Board. You didn't think I would let the entire pre-draft process slide by without dropping in my own 2013 NFL Mock Draft, did you?

So, here is my effort. What I have done here is try to read the tea leaves the best I can and come up with what I think each team will do. This is not necessarily what I would do, but what I think could realistically happen based on the information currently available.

Of course, there are no trades listed below. Since there will likely be a whole slew of those with many teams rumored to be trying to move down, and the San Francisco 49ers apparently trying to move up, accurately predicting what will happen is almost impossible.

The possible spots for trades. The Oakland Raiders at No. 3, Philadelphia Eagles at No. 4 and Detroit LIons at No. 5 are all rumored to want to move. The Miami Dolphins could want out of the 12th pick. The Jets could want out of the 13th pick they got from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

You will see, of course, that I have selected Florida State defensive end Tank Carradine for the New York Giants. Whether I would make this pick myself or not (and in this scenario I would) that choice is simply based on the buzz about the team's interest in Carradine. It's too much for me to ignore.
