NFL Mock Drafts 2013: Expert Selections From Round 1 As Trades Rule First Day, Luke Joeckel, Shariff Floyd, Dion Jordan and Ziggy Ansah Top Picks

Apr 24, 2013 04:37 PM EDT

The NFL Draft is like predicting the weather, everyone tries and most of the time it ends up wrong (sorry meteorologists). Some draft experts are better than others and while many writers and media members use inside information, most of the time it is just a gut feeling about what teams will do.

The Chiefs are likely to pick Luke Joeckel or Eric Fisher at number one, but after that is anyone's guess, as Geno Smith has been predicted at number two and now even in the first round. Tavon Austin has been predicted at four, but could drop as low as 20th. A number of other players could also fluctuate depending on what happens ahead and of course there are all the trades that could go down as well.

Here are some links to mock drafts from experts to see how their picks will match up on Thursday night.

Mock draft from Peter King at SI.com has Luke Joeckel first, followed by Ziggy Ansah, Sharrif Floyd and Dion Jordan.

Chris Burke at SI.com agrees with King, although he uses the power ranking format.
