I’m going to be honest with you, I’ve just about thrown in the towel on the whole mock draft thing this year.
It isn’t for a lack of preparation. It isn’t a lack of confidence in my evaluations. It isn’t for a lack of reading “this will 100% happen” or “there is no way that happens” from various media outlets or from fans. It certainly isn’t for a lack of caring.
I just find this draft class to be so incredibly unpredictable. The lack of quarterback talent will test teams with the need for a new one. The incredible depth at the defensive line and secondary positions makes it very hard to stack the talent with any conviction. With the Vikings now having two first round picks to work with, and a roster with plenty of needs, their draft possibilities seem even more endless than usual.
Setting all that aside, however, I now present you with my final 2013 NFL Mock Draft with just hours to go until the real thing goes down tonight.
I have decided to give the Vikings a well-known linebacker and an often-mocked defensive tackle, and the results in full can be seen right here.
Get ready for a wild evening, Vikes fans! We’ll be here all night to give insight and opinions as the action unfolds.
Don’t touch that channel!

Your mock is just as good as anyone's this year Adam. If you get 5-10% right in this crazy draft, then you should be justifiably proud. This draft may go down as one of the craziest ever. Get your popcorn ready!
If you all can make it down here to Katy Texas in about 6 hours I will be doing some, chicken, salmon, shrimp, burgers and dogs on the grill. Got 36 adult beverages marinating in 65 lbs of ice. Got Texans, Cowgirls, Dolphin and Brown fans all coming over.
That. sounds. awesome.
that's just mean, inviting those browns and dolphins fans over to have someone to laugh at
sounds like fun, though
I may mention (again) how the Browns passed on AP in 2007. It may come up in conversation.
Haha...that's just mean. I fully approve.
As usual, my final mock draft won't be ready until Monday, but what it lacks in punctuality, it makes up for in accuracy. I've nailed it 100% accurate for 6 years running.
ummm..congrats! Keep up the great work!
yeah, mine looks the same as last year
Geno to the Raiders...that would surprise me, not sure how Mrs. Tomb would take that.
Geno is going to go at 25 to the Jags. After the Vikings trade down.
I would like to see that happen.
I think NFL network will have live camera's in the Vikings war room.
Can't wait to see that mock Tomb. Yeah....
All that really matters is if we get Manti....yes I said it!
Can't... stop... laughing...

jags man their war room like they fill their stadium
Dude on NFL network said Teo would be off the board before Vikes pick.
If that's the case then do you take a chance on Ogletree if he still there?
Not sure Norse? I've seen great reports on Ogletree but have read ones that say he isnt NFL caliber.
Yeah, I know. That seems to be the theme on a lot of these 1st round prospects this year. Besides being a exciting draft, it is also a confusing one.
God I hope so. Te'o would be our worst pick since Williamson, yes even worse than BR.
Trading up to get Teo would be my worst nightmare.
