It's the weakest draft in a decade. They might use him as part of a trade for bigger impact players.

With the 2nd Pick of the 2013 NFL Draft
The Jacksonville Jaguars select Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M.
Joeckel should have been #1, but I guess 6 week of pounding by the ESPN pundits will kill anyone's chances of going first. But that's to be expected because ESPN hates Texas A&M and always does what they can to screw us.
And all the a-holes in the audience are booing. F-Them.

It was a good day to be a lineman. QB and RB, not so much. John Clayton writes (http://espn.go.com/nfl/draft2013/story/_/id/9213717/2013-nfl-draft-first-round-winners-losers) about the winners and losers of the first round:
Geno Smith was the biggest loser: Many considered him to be the class of this quarterback class. He has a strong arm. He has an accurate arm. But something always seemed to be missing. At the combine, he had some mechanical issues on seven-step drops, which was an improvement from earlier problems with five-step drops. Now it's uncertain how far he'll fall. It's not out of the question that the Jacksonville Jaguars could take Barkley ahead of Smith with the first pick in the second round. The New York Jets have the 40th pick, and there are some coaches on the staff who like Nassib. Smith could be a fit in Cleveland, but the Browns don't have a pick in the second round. Smith has to hope the Oakland Raiders or Philadelphia Eagles take him in the second round, or he could fall into the third round. ...
For the first time since 1963, no running back went in the first round. Eddie Lacy of Alabama had some hope of going to Denver, but when the Broncos took defensive tackle Sylvester Williams with the 28th pick, the forecast of first-round doom prevailed for backs. These are tough times for running backs. The days of 20-carry-per-game backs are diminishing. More teams are going to passing offenses and feel as though backs don't provide enough value to take high in the first round. Sure, a talent as good as Trent Richardson will be drafted respectably, but others are fitting more into roles than being featured. In 2011, Mark Ingram waited until the 28th pick to be the first back taken. Backs also are entering a league that changed its rules to penalize them for using the crown of their helmets on defenders.
No mention of Teo. Seems to me he ought to be included among the "losers."

I know this is a little late in the game, but in regard to Buffalo's pick of EJ Manuel, it appears that most people in Buffalo knew he was going to be the pick, and that he had done very well in workouts for the team. The fact that ESPN, the Worldwide Leader in Sports, had no clue of that pretty much shows how clueless they really are about these things.

I was just reading a story on Yahoo sports about why Manuel went ahead of Geno Smith: the professional team saw maturity and leadership qualities in him that seemed to be lacking in Geno.
