Mock Draft 13.0 picks 17-32: Patience can be a virtue
If Worthy works out in the NFL, he could be one of the hardest to cover wide receivers in the league. He is almost impossibly fast, making him far too tempting for the Jags at 17.
Some have Fashanu going in the top 10, but given who has drafted OTs in this mock, his lack of positional versatility has caused him to slide to 18. Still, as Tyler Sullivan for CBS Sports writes, “Bengals to should be running to the podium,” if he’s still on the board.
Most mocks you read see Latu going to the Rams, and the reasoning makes sense. He’s an experienced pass rusher, falling to a team desperate to replace some of Aaron Donald’s production.

The Steelers need some help in the interior of their offensive line and JPJ gives them that. NFL Media, CBS Sports, and The Ringer all have the Steelers taking offensive line here, it just depends on who is available.
The Dolphins allowed Christian Wilkins to walk in free agency, which seemed a strange decision at the time. If they can draft Murphy, they have a ready-made replacement in the building by the start of the season. It’s a risk but could work out.
Mims or Cooper DeJean? That’s the question Howie Roseman will be asking if the board falls like this. Roseman has in the past stated that if all things are equal between prospects, they take the lineman, per Zach Berman for PHLY. So, Mims, it is.
On paper, the Chargers have a great pass rush duo in Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack, but given Bosa’s injury history (11 injuries in seven seasons per Draftsharks) getting some young blood in the mix isn’t a bad option. The Chargers own this pick due to the Vikings trading up to number five.
The Oregon State offensive lineman has fallen beyond where most mocks have him going. However, we won’t know how the various tackles are viewed by the league until Thursday night, so he could well fall into the Cowboys’ grateful laps.
The Bills don’t risk missing out on the next best wide receiver, trading up with the Packers ahead of the Bucs to ensure they get their guy.
There have been rumors that Barton is a player to watch come Thursday, with the NFL reportedly much higher on him than those in the media. Barton will probably play guard in the NFL but can slide into center if required.

DeJean “brings size, physicality, and twitchy movement skills,” per The Ringer. The Cardinals have not a lot beyond Budda Baker in the secondary, so adding DeJean gives them a chess-piece to play with.
McKinstry is a steady player who rarely gets beaten, as The Ringer writes, “McKinstry has good size and excellent length and plays a physical style of football,” which should be a great addition to a secondary in need of more talent.
We’ve been mocking Robinson to Detroit for some time, as we think it makes perfect sense. His size and aggressive style should take some pressure away from Aidan Hutchinson, allowing the former number-two pick to thrive.
Tyler Guyton and Ladd McConkey are both on the board making this a tough pick for Baltimore, ultimately Wiggins’ athletic profile proves too tempting for the Ravens.
Will Guyton be there at 30? We just don’t know. He is a project player whose immediate impact is unknown, but the Niners are dangerously thin along their offensive front, so need to take a swing.
The Chiefs have built their dynasty around three players, Mahomes, Kelce, and Chris Jones. Why not add a defensive tackle with a 15.4% pass-rush win rate, per PFF?
