2013 NCAA FB Season / 2014 NFL draft

[Hangman]

Round 2

#33 – Houston Texans – Cyrus Kouandjio – OT – Alabama

Bill O’Brien has to make sure his rookie quarterback is protected in order to help him grow. Houston needs help at the tackle spots. Cyrus Kouandjio has great length and power, best suited for the right side where he can open running lanes.

#34 – Washington Redskins – Jimmie Ward – SS – NIU

Their moves to improve the front seven on defense won’t be worth much unless the Redskins get a playmaker on the back end. Jimmie Ward can hit and tackle like a safety but has the speed and range of a corner.

#35 – Cleveland Browns – Jimmy Garoppolo – QB – Eastern Illinois

Probably the biggest sleeper in this 2014 NFL mock draft. Jimmy Garoppolo has all the tools from size, to accuracy, vision and a quick release. He’s not used to big league speed, which is why he might not start right away but his long-term outlook is very high.

#36 – Chicago Bears (f/OAK) – Deone Bucannon – SS – Washington State

Trade: 51st and 94th (3rd) picks to Raiders for 36th pick

Sensing the Rams are keen on taking a safety, Chicago jumps up the board to undercut them. Deone Bucannon has been gaining a lot of steam lately. He’s a big, physical hitter out of Washington State but has the speed and instincts for coverage.

#37 – St. Louis Rams (from ATL) – Ra’Shede Hageman – DT – Minnesota

Robbed of Bucannon, the Rams instead bolster their defensive front with a value pick in Ra’Shede Hageman. The kid is an athletic freak for his size at 6’6″, 310 lbs. He’s a force against the run and with more work can become dominant on the interior.

#38 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Jason Verrett – CB – TCU

Lovie Smith got help with Alterraun Verner for his secondary but he still needs more bodies at cornerback. Jason Verrett will remind him a lot of Tim Jennings. Short as he might be, his speed, fluidity and knack for taking the ball away are perfect for the Bucs.

#39 – New England Patriots (f/JAX) – Louis Nix – DT – Notre Dame

Vince Wilfork is still in-house but the Patriots have to know his days are numbered. Getting younger up front is a priority. Louis Nix is a mirror image of the All-Pro nose tackle and could become his eventual successor.

#40 – Minnesota Vikings – Kyle Van Noy – OLB – BYU

A really good value pick here. Minnesota has concerns to address at the linebacker position. Kyle Van Noy has speed and instincts that rank among the best in this class. He can bring a pass rush off the edge or create havoc in coverage.

#41 – Buffalo Bills – Jace Amaro – TE – Texas Tech

They missed out on Eric Ebron in the first round but the Bills get a nice consolation price. Jace Amaro led the NCAA in receiving for tight ends last year and is a natural pass catcher. He’s a nice, big target who knows how to get open.

#42 – Tennessee Titans – Zach Mettenberger – QB – LSU

Jake Locker may be the man now but his hold on the starting job is tenuous. Ken Whisenhunt has every reason to go find some competition and the big, strong Zach Mettenberger from LSU has the experience and ability he’s looking for.

#43 – New York Giants – Timmy Jernigan – DT – Florida State

Losing Linval Joseph was a tough blow for New York but that problem could dissipate quickly by landing national championship star Timmy Jernigan in the second round. He’s a gifted run blocker who has upside in the pass rush department.

#44 – Miami Dolphins – Carlos Hyde – RB – Ohio State

Trade: 50th and 116th (4th) to Rams for 44th pick

If Ryan Tannehill can’t overtake the Patriots with Taylor Lewan and now Carlos Hyde added to his arsenal, then the Miami Dolphins have a problem. Hyde is a true three-down running back who grinds out tough yards but also lends a hand as a receiver too.

#45 – Jacksonville Jaguars (f/DET) – Morgan Moses – OT – Virginia

Johnny Manziel is absolutely deadly when he trusts his protection. Luke Joeckel is coming back from injury but the Jaguars still need to improve their front. Morgan Moses is a massive human being with surprisingly quick feet. He can fit in on the right side and anchor as a pass protector.

#46 – Pittsburgh Steelers – Martavis Bryant – WR – Clemson

Ben Roethlisberger would love some size added to his receiving corps. Here the Pittsburgh Steelers see his size and throw in some speed. Martavis Bryant is all of 6’4″ but has clear 4.4/40 speed to get downfield fast. A great outside threat to compliment Antonio Brown.

#47 – Dallas Cowboys – David Yankey – OG – Stanford

Tony Romo is coming off a back injury. If Dallas is going to ensure his survival in 2014 they need to guarantee better protection. Bringing in the All-American David Yankey who thrived at both tackle and guard for Stanford is a perfect solution.

#48 – Baltimore Ravens – Ka’Deem Carey – RB – Arizona

Ray Rice is not only in legal trouble but he’s also getting older. Baltimore really has nobody who can replace him as the feature back. Ka’Deem Carey might not have intriguing speed, but he doesn’t need it. He finds holes, hits them and doesn’t go down easy. Vastly overlooked talent.

#49 – New York Jets – Austin Seferian-Jenkins – TE – Washington

The rebuild of the Jets offense begins to have one major word associated to it: size. Having already added the 6’5″ Kelvin Benjamin in round one, they throw in the 6’5″ Austin Seferian-Jenkins from Washington who doubles as a good receiver and blocker.

#50 – St. Louis Rams (f/MIA) – Terrence Brooks – FS – Florida State

The Rams need a safety and they go after one from the national champs. Terrence Brooks gets glossed over having played on a talent-rich defense at Florida State but his athleticism, speed, range and awareness make him a promising free safety prospect.

#51 – Oakland Raiders (f/CHI) – Davante Adams – WR – Fresno State

Matt Schaub is the man of the hour and the Oakland Raiders must do everything possible to help him. Adding more receiving help tops the list. Davante Adams has great hands, length and the explosion to go up at get jump balls with enough speed to get open.

#52 – Arizona Cardinals – Demarcus Lawrence – DE – Boise State

Adding an outside rusher to replace John Abraham is something Arizona knows they have to do. A fast-rising talent in Demarcus Lawrence could be their answer. He has the explosion, bend and length to come off the edge in any defense.

#53 – Green Bay Packers – Troy Niklas – TE – Notre Dame

Many are afraid of Troy Niklas less because of character or talent issues and more due to his limited production. That is less due to him and more of the offense he played it. Niklas is only scratching the surface of what his size, speed and good hands can accomplish.

#54 – Philadelphia Eagles – Jeremiah Attaochu – OLB – Georgia Tech

Trent Cole remains a steady force for Philadelphia but the team really has no young options at outside linebacker. Georgia Tech spark plug Jeremiah Attaochu has the ability and the attitude to become that solution.

 

[Hangman]

#55 – Cincinnati Bengals – Rashaad Reynolds – CB – Oregon State

Cornerback is at a real transition point for Cincinnati. They really need young blood at the position. Rashaad Reynolds may not have preferred size but his toughness, instincts, intelligence and athleticism show he can start for any secondary.

#56 – San Francisco 49ers (from KC) – Jordan Matthews – WR – Vanderbilt

Adding more size to the receiving corps is one of the goals for San Francisco and they will love a dedicated, savvy prospect like Jordan Matthews. He led the SEC in receiving, boasts a 6’3″ frame and plays the position like a pro.

#57 – Carolina Panthers (f/SD) – Ja’Wuan James – OT – Tennessee

Trade: 60th and 168th (5th) picks to Chargers for 57th pick

Jordan Gross was a big loss for the Panthers and they can’t afford for the offensive line to weaken just when the offense is starting to figure things out. Adding a good pass protector on the edge is a must. Ja’Wuan James has the size, length and nimble feet for it.

#58 – Indianapolis Colts – Xavier Su’a-filo – OG – UCLA

Andrew Luck is the main reason the Indianapolis Colts win. Keeping him upright and giving him a running game are two priorities. Xavier Su’a-Filo can help accomplish both, possessing the power to open lanes and the technique to wall off rushers.

#59 – New Orleans Saints – Pierre Desir – CB – Lindenwood

Cornerback became a sore spot for the Saints defense last year and needs a boost in depth at the very least. Pierre Desir can help with that initially and possesses the length and speed to become a front-line starter with a little more polish.

#60 – San Diego Chargers (f/CAR) – Jarvis Landry – WR – LSU

Philip Rivers uncovered a gem last year with Keenan Allen but the Chargers would much like to find a secondary target to draw away double coverage for their new star. Jarvis Landry is a consummate worker who gets open, makes the tough catches and does everything right.

#61 – San Francisco 49ers – Paul Richardson – WR – Colorado

The other part of the 49ers need at receiver was speed. Having added Matthews for his hands, they next bring in Colorado standout Paul Richardson for his legs. The added deep threat brings yet another dimension to San Francisco they were lacking.

#62 – New England Patriots – Weston Richburg – C – Colorado State

Interior blocking hampered Tom Brady more often than he would’ve liked in 2013. Settling down the center position could really help matters. Weston Richburg has the quickness, size, technique and intelligence of a long-term starter. He can plug and play right away too.

#63 – Denver Broncos – Scott Crichton – DE – Oregon State

DeMarcus Ware was a flashy free agent signing but there’s no guarantee he’ll completely solve the pass rush losses of Robert Ayers and Shaun Phillips. Besides, Scott Crichton is a great value pick this late in the second round and will bring an edge to that front.

#64 – Seattle Seahawks – Trent Murphy – DE – Stanford

Sometimes pass rushers are just pass rushers. Nobody said they had to be elite athletes. Trent Murphy dominated college football last season. He knows how to get to the quarterback. Pete Carroll should be able to find a place for him.

Rd 3

#65 – Houston Texans – Marcus Smith – DE – Louisville

Getting some pass rush going at the outside linebacker spot to help J.J. Watt is something the Texans need to explore. Defensive end Marcus Smith has the burst and fluidity to shift to outside linebacker.

#66 – Washington Redskins – Gabe Jackson – OG – Mississippi State

Guard was a real sore spot for the Redskins last season and RGIII paid the price for it. Gabe Jackson can help turn things around. Not only a road grader when run blocking, he has the footwork and long arms to shut down pass rushers with ease.

#67 – Oakland Raiders – Tre Mason – RB – Auburn

Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew hold center stage but neither offers much long-term security for Oakland. Investing some youth at the position would really help out Matt Schaub. Tre Mason may be short but he finds the holes, breaks tackles and can catch passes.

#68 – Atlanta Falcons – C.J. Fiedorowicz – TE – Iowa

Tony Gonzalez is done and Atlanta must now try to supplement the tight end position without him. C.J. Fiedorowicz is an accomplished blocker for Iowa but has the speed and good hands to develop into an equally good receiver.

#69 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Joel Bitonio – OT – Nevada

Both the guard and tackle spots are in need of some depth for TampaBay. Joel Bitonio flashed at the Senior Bowl with his ability to anchor on the edge in pass protection or move inside and drive open running lanes.

#70 – Jacksonville Jaguars – Jaylen Watkins – CB – Florida

Corner and safety improved for the Jaguars in 2013 but both are far from solidified. Jaylen Watkin is a hybrid defensive back capable of playing both positions with good length, athleticism and toughness.

#71 – Cleveland Browns – Chris Borland – ILB – Wisconsin

Karlos Dansby was a nice addition at inside linebacker, but also a temporary one at age 32. Cleveland could use some quality depth behind him. Chris Borland is an athletic, keen and instinctive leader from Wisconsin with a knack for making the big plays.

#72 – Minnesota Vikings – DaQuan Jones – DT – Penn State

Sharrif Floyd is set at the pass rushing defensive tackle spot but the Vikings still could use an upgrade next to him. PennState standout DaQuan Jones has the size and the impressive strength to fit that spot perfectly for Mike Zimmer.

#73 – Buffalo Bills – Antonio Richardson – OT – Tennessee

E.J. Manuel and the rest of the Bills quarterbacks were sacked a lot last season. That can’t keep happening if they want to win. Antonio Richardson is a massive blocker with the long arms to wall off pass rusher and the great strength to play right tackle.

#74 – Minnesota Vikings (f/NYG) – Lamarcus Joyner – CB/S – Florida State

Corner and safety are both positions in need of help for Minnesota. Arguably one of the most overlooked talents in this 2014 NFL mock draft is Lamarcus Joyner. A smart, athletic, ballhawk player with leadership intangibles may be 5’8″ but he can play corner and safety in any defense.

#75 – St. Louis Rams – Cyril Richardson – OG – Baylor

Imagine putting Greg Robinson and Cyril Richardson next to each other. That’s a lot of beef. More than that it creates a great chance to really open up the running game for St. Louis and also fortify their pass protection.

#76 – Detroit Lions – Kareem Martin – DE – North Carolina

The loss of Willie Young hurt Detroit and Martin Mayhew loves to stockpile pass rushers. Kareem Martin is a physically gifted defensive end out of North Carolina with loads of pass rush potential but in need of some technique refinement.

#77 – Chicago Bears (f/SF) – Bashaud Breeland – CB – Clemson

Adding depth at cornerback is a must for the Bears with their top three starters all over 30. Bashaud Breeland is exactly who they need. His length, toughness and skill in coverage and against the run are exactly what their scheme calls for. He merely needs development.

#78 – Dallas Cowboys – Brock Vereen – FS – Minnesota

Safety was an unheralded area of need for Dallas last season, especially in coverage. Brock Vereen is a major sleeper with the athleticism, range and intelligence to man the back end for the Cowboys as a true centerfielder.

#79 – Baltimore Ravens – Marcus Martin – C – USC

Center has been a problem for Baltimore ever since Matt Birk retired two years ago. Marcus Martin has the talent to make everything okay again. The USC standout has loads of untapped potential and is well-versed in his job already.

#80 – Chicago Bears (f/NYJ) – Travis Carrie – CB – Ohio

The Bears strike at the same position again. This time they add a late riser in Ohio corner Travis Carrie. While not ideal for press coverage, his size, toughness, and ballhawk instincts make him a perfect fit in a primary zone scheme. Special teams ability as well.

 

[Hangman]

#81 – Miami Dolphins – Ego Ferguson – DT – LSU

Paul Soliai was a tough loss for Miami and Randy Starks is getting into his 30s. Defensive tackle needs a youth infusion. Ego Ferguson is a raw but extremely gifted interior man out of LSU who can double as a run stuffer or pass rusher.

#82 – Chicago Bears – Bishop Sankey – RB – Washington

Matt Forte was magnificent in 2013, but he’s also reaching that dangerous age range for running backs at 28. Chicago needs to think about a succession plan. Getting Bishop Sankey, who is a perfect fit for the Trestman offense with his ability to run, catch and pass protect is an outright steal.

#83 – Cleveland Browns (f/PIT) – Keith McGill – CB – Utah

Putting somebody across from Joe Haden remains an ongoing process for Cleveland. They may have found one here. Utah cornerback Keith McGill is every bit of 6’3″ with the athleticism required for press coverage. Very high upside if he stays healthy.

#84 – Arizona Cardinals – Stanley Jean-Baptiste – CB – Nebraska

Another 6’3″ corner comes off the board as the Arizona Cardinals hope to add somebody next to Patrick Peterson. Stanley Jean-Baptiste has decent athletic traits and a real nose for the football but he might also be safety material, another area of need for the Cards.

#85 – Green Bay Packers – Shayne Skov – ILB – Stanford

Inside linebacker is in need of some attention for the Green Bay Packers. Shayne Skov had injury problem the season before last but his explosion seems to be returning. If so, his ability to read, react and track down ball carriers would be a tremendous help.

#86 – Philadelphia Eagles – Marcus Roberson – CB – Florida

Bulking up is something that needs to happen for Marcus Roberson because his coverage ability is among the best in this 2014 NFL mock draft. If he can learn to play more physical the Eagles could make him a fixture in their 3-4 scheme.

#87 – Kansas City Chiefs – Dakota Dozier – OG – Furman

The losses at guard in free agency really hurt the Chiefs and need to be addressed. Dakota Dozier is a great small school prospect who can do everything well be it run block or pass protect.

#88 – Cincinnati Bengals – Tom Savage – QB – Pitt

Andy Dalton gets his first taste of competition. Many draft experts were down on Tom Savage initially because of his poor stats in 2013. Closer examination shows how bad his offensive line was. When protected, he has the size, arm strength and intelligence to shred defenses.

#89 – San Diego Chargers – Daniel McCullers – DT – Tennessee

The run defense gets a major boost for San Diego when the massive Daniel McCullers comes off the board. He is almost impossible to move, has great strength and is quick enough to shut running lanes virtually by himself.

#90 – Indianapolis Colts – Jeremy Hill – RB – LSU

Trent Richardson is not the guy. Sorry. He just isn’t. That means the Colts need a true young talent at running back. Despite some character concerns, JeremyHills has the size, strength, speed and vision of a three-down player who can be the workhorse.

#91 – Kansas City Chiefs (f/NO) – Antone Exum – CB – Virginia Tech

Another hybrid type who can help a team at either safety or corner. Injury concerns have caused Antone Exum to be overlooked, which is a mistake. He’s fast and athletic enough to play press coverage but has the toughness and tackling ability to play safety too.

#92 – Carolina Panthers – E.J. Gaines – CB – Missouri

Captain Munnerlyn was a hard loss for Carolina who needs to replace him. Victor Hampton is actually two inches taller at 5’10″ and plays like he’s 6’2″. Very athletic, very tough and aware of everything that’s going on. A perfect fit for the 4-3 scheme.

#93 – New England Patriots – Colt Lyerla – TE – Oregon

The character concerns have been well-documented and bear constant monitoring. Still, if any coach can handle the red flags associated with Colt Lyerla, it’s Bill Belichick. As for the physical ability, it’s first round caliber all the way.

#94 – Oakland Raiders (f/CHI) – Aaron Murray – QB – Georgia

Matt Schaub is the man of the moment but the Raiders can’t afford to stop adding to the most important position on the roster. Aaron Murray has his question marks but he broke every SEC passing record there is and has the chops to become a starter in the future.

#95 – Denver Broncos – Bruce Ellington – WR – South Carolina

Starters aren’t needed at wide receiver but depth certainly is for Denver. Bruce Ellington is an outstanding athlete who is dangerous with the ball in his hands. Return ability early on and the upside to become a fixture in the slot down the road.

#96 – Minnesota Vikings (from SEA) – Yawin Smallwood – ILB – Connecticut

Their third pick of the round is used to bolster a fledgling linebacker group. Minnesota adds Connecticut standout Yawin Smallwood. Athletic with good range and instinct in coverage he can develop into a real leader in the middle.

#97 – Pittsburgh Steelers (comp) – Ed Stinson – DE – Alabama

Nose tackle and defensive end both could use some help for the Steelers. Ed Stinson is better suited for the latter but his outstanding length and power showed at Alabama that he can play either.

#98 – Green Bay Packers (comp) – Will Sutton – DT – Arizona State

Will Sutton drew the interest of Green Bay during the pre-draft process. Compact as he is, the defensive tackle has great agility and disruptive potential. He’d fit in quite well as a defensive end in the Packers 3-4 alignment.

#99 – Baltimore Ravens (comp) – Brandon Coleman – WR – Rutgers

They wanted a bigger receiver with good possession qualities. The Ravens get one here. Brandon Coleman is every bit of 6’6″, plays strong with his big body, has good speed for his size and plays through injuries. He’ll be great across from Torrey Smith.

#100 – San Francisco 49ers (comp) – Travis Swanson – C – Arkansas

Jonathan Goodwin is gone, leaving the center position in an awkward phase for the 49ers. Adding some depth and competition is paramount and they may get even more than that with the heady and durable Travis Swanson.

Only problem I have is that they moved up less spots than last year and gave up a lot more in pick value.

Except it has the Rams picking up another goddamn future first round pick....

 

[Crimsoncrew]

Only problem I have is that they moved up less spots than last year and gave up a lot more in pick value.

Yeah, that's my primary problem with this as well. They got a good deal from Dallas last year, but two thirds in this draft is a lot of capital. I'd be upset if they gave that away to go get Fuller, and Verrett is still there at 30. I suppose it's worth it if we land a good starting CB, but I still don't love it.

 

[Crimsoncrew]

Brandon Thomas still on the board in the 5th in this mock. I would be very tempted at the end of the 4th, and would consider trading up in the 5th - though at that point we don't have much to use to do so.

 

[I_am_1z]

Only problem I have is that they moved up less spots than last year and gave up a lot more in pick value.

For Kyle Fuller it's well worth it. We have so many picks and so little cap space, I'm not sure how many rookies we're expected to sign.

 

[deep9er]

Only problem I have is that they moved up less spots than last year and gave up a lot more in pick value.

agree, don't mind a trade up at all, but don't like this particular one.

I'd think we'd pick two CB's before two WR's, so why not Joyner instead of Richardson?

 

[michaelwarner]

Yeah, that's my primary problem with this as well. They got a good deal from Dallas last year, but two thirds in this draft is a lot of capital. I'd be upset if they gave that away to go get Fuller, and Verrett is still there at 30. I suppose it's worth it if we land a good starting CB, but I still don't love it.

It matches up with the draft value chart but I don't want to give up two thirds to move up that high for Fuller. Particularly with Roby, Cooks, and Verrett all farther down than 18.

 

[NinerSickness]

#29 – Jacksonville Jaguars (f/NE) – Donte Moncrief – WR – Ole Miss

Trade: 39th (2nd), 105th (4th) and 144th (5th) picks to Patriots for 29th pick

The Jags jump back into the first round keen on getting their new quarterback a new toy. Manziel seems to love big receivers and perhaps the biggest sleeper in this 2014 NFL mock draft is Donte Moncrief. He’s got everything: height, size, speed, route running savvy and a reliable pair of hands that served him well at Ole Miss.

 

[Crimsoncrew]

For Kyle Fuller it's well worth it. We have so many picks and so little cap space, I'm not sure how many rookies we're expected to sign.

Any rookies are going to make the roster at the expense of vets who are likely to cost more, so it shouldn't really adversely affect the cap. The bigger question is if they can beat out those vets.

 

[Crimsoncrew]

It matches up with the draft value chart but I don't want to give up two thirds to move up that high for Fuller. Particularly with Roby, Cooks, and Verrett all farther down than 18.

Due to the depth of this draft, I think those later-round picks have more value than they do in a typical year. Having three third-round picks is a huge advantage this year. I don't want to make a move that's going to drop us down to only the comp pick in the round.

 

[NinerSickness]

Gotta love SI. The Bills taking Tiny Richardson at 73 is a pretty good value, but it's not as good of a value as the Raiders taking Tiny Richardson at 107.

 

[Hangman]

Gotta love SI. The Bills taking Tiny Richardson at 73 is a pretty good value, but it's not as good of a value as the Raiders taking Tiny Richardson at 107.

If you read my post that fourth round was the previous mocks. They were about to start this mocks fourth round.

 

[NinerSickness]

I can't get over how overrated Darqueze Dennard is. Both McShay & SI have him going 15th to the Steelers. McShay even has him going ahead of Gilbert.

I'm extremely glad it looks like he'll be bumping a better CB down the line closer to the Niners.

Totally agree.
