i'm going to get a headstart on this one: pick #94 traded to cincinnati. :)
 
Yes. I was just updating the traded picks. If I have missed any, please let me know. And be quiet, zeetes.
 
Just curious, anyone here looking to trade back? I have 3 picks in this round and I'd like to go up a few spots and perhaps land another 4 or 5.
 
As always the Bucks are interested.
 
With the 63rd selection in the 2013 NFL "Experts" Mock Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select...

JJ Wilcox, SS, Georgia Southern

We are very excited to add this, admittedly raw, but very talented player to our team. Having only played Strong Safety for a year, Wilcox still has some learning to do at the position. His talent, however, cannot be denied. The 6'5", 216lb specimen has ideal size to match up with the league's taller WRs as well as TEs. His experience as a WR also gives him an edge, we feel, when it comes to guarding them as well as a better chance to make plays on the ball. The Chiefs can certainly use depth in our secondary and Wilcox can provide that, while also providing skills on special teams. He averaged over 25 yards per return at GSU and looks to compete for playing time there at first.

Having only played one season at strong safety, Wilcox ranks among the more intriguing projections of the 2013 draft for scouts.

The well-built athlete signed with the Eagles as a wide receiver and made the transition to slot back when head coach Jeff Monken brought the option to Georgia Southern. Despite success at each position, Wilcox agreed to make the switch to safety to help out the team.

In his only collegiate season at the position, he finished second on the team with 88 tackles, three passes broken up and two interceptions. The jack-of-all trades also averaged 25.2 yards per kickoff return for the Eagles.

Wilcox's size, athleticism and versatility caught the attention of talent evaluators, including Phil Savage and the Senior Bowl, who brought him to compete against the nation's elite prospects. With a solid performance in Mobile, Wilcox may have put himself in position to be the first GSU athlete drafted since Jacksonville selected another defensive back, David Young, in the sixth round of the 2003 draft.

ANALYSIS

Strengths: Athletic frame with a thick lower half. Stands out at this level due to his athleticism and proved he deserved to be on the same field with the top prospects in Mobile. Good lateral agility. Surprisingly adept as an open field tackler. Attacks the line of scrimmage when he reads run but while fast to the action, breaks down pretty well, showing enough balance, patience and strength for the effective stop... Showed some instincts and range operating as a single-high safety during Senior Bowl drills. Good leaping ability and body control. Timed his leaps well and has good hand-eye coordination, perhaps due to time on offense. Obvious upside.

Weaknesses: Questionable straight-line speed. Looks like a one-speed player who glides with normal acceleration rather than showing the suddenness to run with NFL wideouts. A work in progress regarding his technique, though in all fairness, this is to be expected... Tends to bend at the waist rather than the knees. Attacks the line of scrimmage as a run defender, slipping by most blocks but too often is tied up when he they do get to him. Tools worthy of developing but isn't ready for prime time yet.

Compares To: Atari Bigby, SS, San Diego Chargers
