For this mock draft, four EDSFootball.com contributors will draft for three teams per round
and we will exclude kickers and team defenses from this mock.
We will draft 12 rounds and I will include commentary for each of the 144 picks.
This is a slow draft that is conducted offline, but picks/rounds of the draft will be posted as they are completed.
Although we conducted re-draft mocks for both standard-scoring and point-per-reception (PPR) formats prior to the 2013 NFL Draft, we will conduct new drafts in the near future.

1.05 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 2): Ray Rice, RB, Baltimore Ravens
Over the past three seasons, only Darren Sproles (220) has more receptions than Rice (200). The only player with more yards from scrimmage than Rice (5,465) during that span was Foster (5,702). Along with Peterson (5,062), only three backs have 5,000-plus YFS in the past three years.
With Rice, however, there is some concern with the presence of Bernard Pierce, a talented back in his own right.
2.08 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 2): Randall Cobb, WR, Green Bay Packers
Among my top-25 dynasty wide receivers, Cobb, who I rank at No. 10, is the youngest and will turn 23 years old in August.
In his second season, Cobb set career highs with 80 receptions, 954 receiving yards, 132 rushing yards and eight touchdowns.
With Greg Jennings in Minnesota and Donald Driver entering retirement, Cobb (plus Jordy Nelson and James Jones as well) should get a few more targets in the Packers' high-powered offense.
3.05 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 2): Victor Cruz, WR, New York Giants
Since emerging from relative obscurity in 2011, Cruz followed up his franchise-record season (1,536 yards) with another 1,000-yard campaign (1,096 yards). In addition, he set career highs in receptions (86) and touchdowns (10) last year.
Cruz has yet to sign his RFA tender or reach common ground on a new deal with the G-Men, but it's expected that he will and he has many years of strong production and salsa dancing in front of him.
4.08 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 2): Colin Kaepernick, QB, San Francisco 49ers
With a strong arm and tremendous athleticism for a quarterback, Kaepernick is a dual-threat quarterback that has the potential for a monster fantasy game in any given week.
In his first-ever playoff game as an example of his upside, Kaepernick threw for 263 yards and two touchdowns with one interception while also rushing for 181 yards and two scores. That is 30 points from his rushing stats alone and a total of 46 fantasy points.
5.05 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 2): T.Y. Hilton, WR, Indianapolis Colts
Although I like his upside, there are plenty of wide receivers that I would prefer to have over Hilton at this spot.
The small (5-9, 183) but explosive playmaker had an impressive rookie season with 50 receptions for 861 yards and seven touchdowns. Only Jacksonville's Justin Blackmon had more receiving yards (865) than Hilton last season.
In addition, Hilton gets the opportunity to play with one of the best young quarterbacks in the league.
6.08 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 2): BenJarvus Green-Ellis, RB, Cincinnati Bengals
The Law Firm failed to score double-digit touchdowns for the first time in three seasons, but he set career highs in carries (278), rushing yards (1,094) and receptions (22) last season. Less than a dynamic back, Green-Ellis and Shonn Greene were the only backs in the league to reach the 1,000-yard milestone with an average of less than 4.00 yards per carry.
With the Bengals drafting Gio Bernard with the 36th overall pick in this year's draft, it's unlikely that Green-Ellis rushes for 1,000 yards for a second straight year. Going forward, Bernard should see an increased role at the expense of BJGE.
7.05 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 2): Cecil Shorts, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
After catching only two passes for 30 yards in 2011, Shorts broke out in a big way in 2012. He finished the season with 55 receptions, 979 yards and seven touchdowns in 14 games.
Excluding the two games he missed after the bye, Shorts had at least 54 yards in all nine games he played during that stretch. From Week 7 until the end of the season, Shorts had 774 receiving yards, which ranked him 10th in the NFL, despite missing two games.
8.08 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 2): Dennis Pitta, TE, Baltimore Ravens
Recently Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports wrote an article on breakout players for the 2013 season and included the Ravens tight end on the list. La Canfora writes that Pitta "has the size and is much faster than Boldin and can separate more. And with Jim Caldwell calling the plays in Baltimore, the middle of the field is more fertile territory. Joe Flacco, Pitta's BFF, was throwing the hell out of those seam routes on their Super Bowl run and Pitta could easily hit double-digit touchdowns next season and push 1,000 yards receiving."
9.05 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 2): Bilal Powell, RB, New York Jets
I'm not sure what Dan was thinking here, but there are double-digit running backs that I would prefer over Powell at this spot. From Week 11 to 17, Powell rushed for 299 yards, which ranked 29th in the league, and four touchdowns.
Going into the 2013 season, however, it's likely that Powell gets less work with the presence of Chris Ivory and Mike Goodson (at least, for now). At best, Powell should finish third in touches among Jets running backs this year.
10.08 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 2): Fred Jackson, RB, Buffalo Bills
While I root for Jackson, there are several things working against Jackson's favor. Not only is he now 32 years old, which is the equivalent of ~ 84 in running back years, but he has missed six games in each of the past two seasons.
With a new coaching staff in place, C.J. Spiller should see the vast majority of touches between the two backs. Even with Spiller having a breakout season, Chan Gailey split the workload between the backs fairly evenly last year: 15.6 touches per game for Spiller and 14.9 for Jackson.
Barring injury (to Spiller), that should not happen this year.
11.05 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 2): Andy Dalton, QB, Cincinnati Bengals
In his second season, Dalton set career highs last year in passing yards (3,669), completion percentage (62.3%) and passing touchdowns (27). In fact, only six quarterbacks threw more touchdowns. In addition, Dalton ran in another four scores.
While he lacks elite physical tools, Dalton is a heady quarterback with young talented weapons led by A.J. Green on the roster.
12.08 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 2): Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Detroit Lions
Pettigrew missed a couple of games last year and posted three-year lows with 59 receptions for 567 yards and three touchdowns. Considering how many times the Lions throw the ball (Stafford set the record last season), Pettigrew will always have the potential to see triple-digit targets.
As the 14th tight end off the board, this is a fair spot for Pettigrew, but I would prefer a couple of the other tight ends that are still available over him including Martellus Bennett and Jermichael Finley.
