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.

1.03 - Kevin Hanson (Team 1): Doug Martin, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Rookie running backs (in addition to quarterbacks) had a ton of success in 2012. While Alfred Morris ranked second in the league in rushing, it was actually Doug Martin that ranked second in yards from scrimmage among running backs.
Only Peterson (2,314) had more than rushing and receiving yards than The Muscle Hamster (1,926), a three-down back.
2.10 - Kevin Hanson (Team 1): Demaryius Thomas, WR, Denver Broncos
Thomas had a breakout season last year in his first with Peyton Manning. Even with the offseason addition of slot receiver Wes Welker, I don't expect a huge drop in targets for Thomas, who finished the year with 94 receptions for 1,434 yards and 10 touchdowns.
While he won't have Peyton throwing to him the rest of his career, the 25-year-old is a big and athletic receiver that should continue to get better.
3.03 - Kevin Hanson (Team 1): Darren McFadden, RB, Oakland Raiders
It seems like McFadden has been in the league for a long time (and that he can't stay healthy). While the durability issues concern me, you may be surprised to know that McFadden is only 25 years old. (He's actually 12 days younger than C.J. Spiller.)
Back to the durability concerns, he has yet to play in more than 13 games in any of his five seasons.
When healthy, however, he has big-time talent as he showed in 2010 and 2011. While last year was disappointing, the team's offense will no longer be using a zone-blocking scheme and move back to a system that will play to McFadden's strengths.
At this point, I'm willing to roll the dice on McFadden as the 16th running back off the board. If he ever shakes the durability issues, he'll be a steal.
4.10 - Kevin Hanson (Team 1): Roddy White, WR, Atlanta Falcons
Since 2007, White has been one of the most consistently productive receivers in the league. During that six-year span, he has had at least 83 receptions and 1,153 yards each season. He has averaged 94 receptions, 1,296 yards and eight touchdowns per year over that stretch.
Although he will turn 32 years old this year, he should have a few more very productive seasons. In addition, White has never missed a game in his eight-year career.
5.03 - Kevin Hanson (Team 1): Steven Jackson, RB, Atlanta Falcons
Based on this league/mock format, this team now has its starting running backs (Martin and McFadden), wide receivers (Thomas and White) and flex (S-Jax).
Of course, Jackson is at the tail end of his career playing for the postseason success that has eluded him in St. Louis. In the Falcons' high-powered passing offense, he should have an opportunity to score double-digit touchdowns for the first time since 2006.
Facing fewer eight-men fronts this season, Jackson should be able to rush for 1,000-plus yards in his ninth consecutive season.
6.10 - Kevin Hanson (Team 1): Stevie Johnson, WR, Buffalo Bills
Since breaking out three seasons ago, Johnson has been remarkably consistent. He has finished each of those seasons with 76-82 receptions and 1,004-1,073 yards per season.
With a rookie quarterback, there may be some risk of falling short of those numbers in 2013. Then again, he reached those numbers with The Amish Rifle getting him the ball the past three seasons.
7.03 - Kevin Hanson (Team 1): Chris Ivory, RB, New York Jets
I'm absolutely thrilled that Ivory was still available at this spot. After being buried on the depth chart in New Orleans, Ivory will have the opportunity to break out with the Jets this year.
Only 25 years old, the Jets traded a fourth-round pick for Ivory and then gave him a three-year contract. Ivory has 256 career carries for 1,307 yards, which is an average of 5.1 yards per carry, and eight touchdowns.
While he only has three career receptions, he has a shot to rush for 1,200 yards and double-digit touchdowns in 2013.

8.10 - Kevin Hanson (Team 1): Peyton Manning, QB, Denver Broncos
Obviously Manning won't be this team's starting quarterback for many years to come, but he is a top-five (or better) fantasy quarterback for this season — and perhaps one or two more after that. With the depth at the position, I will add another quarterback later in the draft with some upside and there are plenty of options available.
After sitting out all of the 2011 season due to multiple neck surgeries, Manning had one of his best seasons ever in his first with the Broncos. He threw for 4,659 yards, only 41 yards less than his career best, and 37 touchdowns, again the second-highest total of his career.
With the trio of Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker and Wes Welker, the Broncos arguably have the league's best receiving corps.
9.03 - Kevin Hanson (Team 1): Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Minnesota Vikings
As a JUCO transfer, Patterson (6-2, 205) finished with 46 receptions for 778 yards and five touchdowns and was a first-team All-SEC selection in his first year at Tennessee. In addition, he set a school record with 1,858 all-purpose yards.
Extremely dangerous with the ball in the open field, Patterson is a boom-or-bust prospect as a receiver. His route-running is less than polished and there were numerous reports that he interviewed poorly throughout the draft process.
10.10 - Kevin Hanson (Team 1): Lance Moore, WR, New Orleans Saints
Turning 30 years old before the start of the season, Moore is the 50th wide receiver selected in this mock and coming off one of his best seasons as a pro. For the first time in his career, he eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark (1,041 yards).
Despite his size (5-9, 177), Moore has scored 22 touchdowns over the past three seasons. In fact, he had double-digit touchdowns in 2008.
Although he has a better chance of reaching 1,000 yards than 10 touchdowns, Moore has a shot at both if things go right for him within the Saints' high-powered offense.
11.03 - Kevin Hanson (Team 1): Greg Olsen, TE, Carolina Panthers
Scoring at least five touchdowns for the fifth consecutive season, Olsen set also career highs with 69 receptions for 843 yards, which was fourth-most among tight ends, in 2012. Olsen finished second on the team behind Steve Smith in both categories last year.
Considering the lack of weapons in the Panthers' passing offense, Olsen should continue to see a lot of targets.
12.10 - Kevin Hanson (Team 1): Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Pittsburgh Steelers
Although I was targeting Tannehill here and missed him by only one pick, Roethlisberger is my 16th-ranked dynasty quarterback and a solid QB2 behind Peyton.
A better real quarterback than fantasy one, Big Ben has missed a total of nine games over the past four years and has not played a full season since 2008. Nobody would question Roethlisberger's toughness, but he takes more than his fair share of hits as extending plays is one of his strengths (literally).
During that four-year span, Roethlisberger has averaged 3,718 yards, 22 touchdowns and 10 interceptions per year.
