2013 NFL Draft: Small Schoolers Only Mock Draft

For the second year now, myself and fellow Small School evaluator Matthew Elder of BuffaloBillsDraft.com took to twitter to do a “Small School Mock Draft” for the first round. I took the evens, Matt took the odds, and we went through the entire 1^st round of the 2013 NFL Draft using only non-FBS prospects.

While we focused on need and best player available in this draft, we also tried to find prospects who may fit with their drafted teams in later rounds after the 1^st. Also, where each player is “projected” to go on draft day is in parenthesis next to each selection.
