By Jason McIntyre
2014 NFL Mock Draft history:
1st Mock Draft: April 29, 2013
2nd Mock Draft: October 22, 2013
3rd Mock Draft: December 20, 2013
4th Mock Draft: April 2, 2014
5th Mock Draft: April 24, 2014
1. Houston – Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina
2. St. Louis – Greg Robinson, OT, Auburn
3. Jacksonville – Khalil Mack, LB/DE, Buffalo
4. Cleveland – Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M
5. Oakland – Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson
Analysis: Evans has been rising for a few months. Browns have had the best poker face of the draft.
6. Atlanta – Taylor Lewan, OL, Michigan
7. Tampa Bay – Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina
8. Minnesota – Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh
9. Buffalo – Zack Martin, OT, Notre Dame
10. Detroit – Darqueze Dennard, CB, Michigan State
Analysis: Still don’t have a spot for Ebron, so why not 7? Not buying Manziel-to-Tampa. A tackle will “fall.” Matthews?
11. Tennessee – Odell Beckham, WR, LSU
12. New York Giants – Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M
13. St. Louis – Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama.
14. Chicago – Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville
15. Pittsburgh – Kyle Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech
Analysis: Giants OL again? Sure. Rams could trade the 13th pick, slide down a few spots if they want to beat the WR run.
16. Dallas – Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State
17. Baltimore – Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State
18. New York Jets – Marqise Lee, WR, USC.
19. Miami – Cyrus Kouandjio, OT, Alabama.
20. Arizona – Blake Bortles, QB, University of Central Florida
Analysis: Not buying Manziel-to-Dallas. Ravens get Cooks, who is tutored by Steve Smith for a year. Had Bortles here in last two mock drafts.
21. Green Bay – Xavier Su’a-Filo, G, UCLA
22. Philadelphia – Anthony Barr, OLB/DE, UCLA. (TRADE)
23. Kansas City – Jordan Matthews, WR, Vanderbilt
24. Cincinnati – Jason Verrett, CB, TCU
25. San Diego – Stephon Tuitt, DL, Notre Dame
26. Cleveland (from Indianapolis Colts) – Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M.
Analysis: Browns would get an ‘A’ from everyone if they got both Aggies. If the WRs the Eagles want are gone, trade down?
27. New Orleans – CJ Mosley, LB, Alabama
28. Carolina – Cody Latimer, WR, Indiana
29. New England – Joel Bitonio, OL, Nevada (TRADE)
30. San Francisco – Stanley John-Baptiste, CB, Nebraska
31. Denver – Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State.
32. Seattle – Morgan Moses, OT, Virginia
Analysis: Mosley, along with Ebron and Bortles, are the three toughest players to peg. Patriots always trade, right?
