Final 2014 NFL Mock Draft

1) Houston Texans - Jadaveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina: This hasn't changed in any of my mocks and I'm not going to start now. With no QBs really standing out with franchise changing ability Clowney and his immense raw talent are an obvious choice for a team that is only one year removed from the playoffs.

2) St. Louis Rams (Via Washington) - Jake Matthews, OT, Auburn: This is one I changed from mock one to two because of something I heard on a podcast, which was that the Rams would most likely sacrifice some upside at the tackle position with a player who was more polished and ready to step right in and protect Sam Bradford. This is why Matthews is the pick, Robinson is a physical freak but he needs a lot of polish on his pass blocking, whereas Matthews comes in with much less rough edges.

3) Jacksonville Jaguars - Kahlil Mack, OLB, Buffalo: Mack is the second of the elite defensive talents in this draft behind Clowney and it is clear to see why. Mack definitely needs a bit more polish around the edges but unlike Barr who we will talk about later he utilizes multiple moves in the pass rush and is not a hindrance in coverage. I know there has been talk about his inconsistency to produce in the MAC but I have no qualms about believing that is attributable to offenses scheming toward him and his lack of experience playing football.

4) Cleveland Browns - Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson: Without an elite player at QB and with a promising young (enough) QB already on the roster Cleveland doesn't have to force a player that they don't think gives them elite talent at the position. In comes Watkins one of the four players I think are elite at the top of this draft (Clowney, Mack, Robinson & Watkins) although slightly smaller he plays with physicality that will match up well on Sundays. In summation, Gordon and Watkins would be a dangerous and scary conundrum for defenses for years to come. 

5) Oakland Raiders - Greg Robinson, OT, Auburn: I think Oakland is ecstatic with Robinson dropping in their laps after the loss of Veldheer in the off-season. Many have lambasted what looks like a bunch of short term additions by the Raiders but I think the free agent moves are a stop gap as the roster is populated and taken over by younger talent. Robinson would fit the bill nicely and has a worst case scenario of a guard for 10 years with his power & speed combination.

6) Atlanta Falcons - Anthony Barr, OLB, UCLA: This pick gave me the most trouble, in a perfect world for Atlanta, Robinson or Matthews is still here but short of the speculated trade to one to get Clowney the Falcons have an interesting choice here. Atlanta already uses a lot of 3-4 subsets on defense and in both that and there 4-3 they need an OLB and a pass rush threat. Barr fits both criteria and although raw would add to a talent cache that the Falcons have been trying to build for a couple of years now.

7) Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M: The loss of Mike Williams hurts the already shallow receiver depth on a team that is leaning towards starting a 34 (?) year old QB who played mediocre football for five weeks last season. Mike Evans would be a boon for either QB that the Bucs choose to put on the field in 2014 and it is plain to see why. Evans showed impressive range, an ability to high point the football and a willingness to be physical that will only pay dividends going forward. Watching the On the Clock special on ESPN on 5/1 the panel made a good point about this being a potential landing spot for Aaron Donald so that is definitely something to look for when draft day comes.

8) Minnesota Vikings - Blake Bortles, QB, UCF: This pick is pretty simple, Norv and co. like big quarterbacks and Bortles is a big QB. Ponder hasn't worked out and hasn't really grown so a change in who hands off to Peterson and throws to Jennings/Patterson is the obvious choice here.

9) Buffalo Bills - Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama: The Bills lost Jarius Byrd in the offseason after a lot of fuss last offseason. And need help in the back end of their defense to help support and benefit from a much improved front seven. Clinton-Dix has the range and big play ability to play center field and the physical ability to come up in the box and support against the run. The Bills could still use some help on the O-line but there should be enough depth in this class to get that later on.

10) Detroit Lions - Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma St: Gilbert is considered the best corner in the draft by many and even those who are down believe he is best utilized in press at the line and man up on the upside. With a stellar line and an improving linebacking corps the ability to play man type coverage on the outside should be the latest step to making this team even that much better.

11) Tennessee Titans - Eric Ebron, TE, UNC: This pick is a bit of a trouble for me, I liked the fit of Barr in my last mock but I have him going to Atlanta at six in this last iteration. Ebron for me ended up being the pick because I think the Titans give locker one more year and a seam busting tight end is a gift that keeps on giving for any quarterback. The one other route I could see the Titans going is Teddy and that would be because the new regime doesn't have faith or the fact that they picked him weighing on their decision making.

12) New York Giants - Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan: The Giants need help on the offensive line and with Lewan still here at twelve they get a chance to pick the third best lineman in the draft and book-end him with last year’s first pick in Justin Pugh. The young duo should anchor the Giants line for some years to come and give Manning or his incumbent time and space to work.

13) St. Louis Rams - Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville: The Rams could definitely look to add another playmaker to the roster with Beckham and Cooks still on the board but I think they look to strengthen the back seven by added Pryor to a young but under performing group heading into this season. Pryor is an inconsistent player at times but shows really flashy tools and an ability to read the offense pre-snap. The tutelage of Fisher and staff should help him develop a better and more consistent approach to the game.

14) Chicago Bears - Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh: I write this with the rumors swirling that Donald will not be available at fourteen for the Bears to select him and that is very well possible as he is the most disruptive interior lineman in this draft. In this mock, he will stay here because I think there are players that are more desired and fit bigger needs with just as much talent that will go ahead of him. Donald on the bears is a great place to rebuild an aging defense, with his quick get off and his ability to make himself known in the backfield he should be a boon for young teammates and old. 

15) Pittsburgh Steelers - Odell Bekcham Jr., WR, LSU: The Steelers selection is the next that really evades me being certain which direction they will take. Notorious for building defenses the best assets and chances for winning come from the offense and a bit more investment in Rothlesberger and company. For my part in this mock both availability and thought process make this pick a slam dunk for the Steelers.

16) Dallas Cowboys - Timmy Jernigan, DT, Florida State: Cowboys defenses of late have gotten away with a lack of push on the inside but with Demarcus Ware gone and Sean Lee getting injured late in the year it is time for the interior to get some push and take the pressure and the body blows off the linebacking corps. Jernigan has been dogged for his conditioning and weight issue but I think the hate has gone too far and that the condition claims in the NCG where more do to opponent and environment than lack of conditioning. Jernigan should make a difference year one if only on 2nd and 3rd downs and as a rotation players.

17) Baltimore Ravens - Zack Martin, OT, Notre Dame: The Ravens have had troubles on the O-line since Jonathan Ogden left and now have a huge hole to fill at tackle and that isn't really specific to either side because the existing options a good but not great. Martin brings the flexibility to play either tackle position and like Robinson has the power and footwork to move inside as a worst-case scenario. This would be a great move for a team with such an investment at quarterback.

18) New York Jets - Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State: Yes the Jets brought in Eric Decker and have Stephen Hill to stretch the field but the talent level of this receiving corps is meh at best and Decker and Hill definitely haven't shown off bona fide #1 or #2 ability respectively in their careers. Cooks brings another young and talented receiver into the fold and would at worst bring viable competition for the slot receiver role and definitely remind everyone involved in the passing game that no one is on stable footing just yet in year 2 of the Geno Smith era in Jersey.

19) Miami Dolphins - Xavier Su'a-Filo, OG, UCLA: The line is atrocious and after the incidents of last season a fresh new look at the offensive line and new additions should be paramount. If Miami ever expects the growth out of Tannehill that led them to pick him so high in the first round then protection is a the key that needs to be figured out sooner rather than later. Su'a-Filo is the best pure guard in the draft and provides a powerful strike in the run game and good punch in the pass game. Tackle might be the preferable position at nineteen there isn't much on the inside of this line either and Su'a-Filo would be a welcome addition.

20) Arizona Cardinals - Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville: Palmer is 34, going to be 35 mid-season, and only has so much tread on the tires. This allows Arizona to be flexible at this point of the draft and with the best QB in the draft still available the Cardinals should run this pick to the podium and thank themselves in a couple of years when they have Palmer's replacement all groomed.

21) Green Bay Packers - C.J. Mosley, ILB, Alabama: This is a match made in heaven and one that many think won't happen. The Packers may have slightly more pressing needs especially at safety but with Mosley falling that Packers can have A.J. Hawk play more downhill and worry less about pass coverage. Mosley would add a sideline to sideline ability that the Packers have sorely missed out of their middle linebackers the last couple of seasons. Along with a middle linebacker who should make the adjustment to the NFL pretty quickly.

22) Philadelphia Eagles - Kyle Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech: Fuller may be the best cornerback in the draft and ranks right up there in the consistency of his play. Fuller hasn't garnered attention for flashy play but he's is a stable a tactician as they come and his game against Alabama was very impressive. Fuller would be a great addition to a defense that needs talent and was susceptible to the big play.

23) Kansas City Chiefs - Marquise Lee, WR, USC: Lee dropped a bit from where his stock stood last season, some of that is attributed to quarterback play and program instability but also to Lee finding a case of the dropsies. Lee has the ability to stretch the field and showed very good hands in his 2012 campaign, his individual workouts and interviews are going to be the biggest factor in where he gets drafted.

24) Cincinnati Bengals - Darqueze Dennard, CB, Michigan State: Dennard was one of the best press man coverage cornerbacks in college football in 2013. That in and of itself is a worthwhile skill set but he isn't without risks. Dennard shows tight hips which effects his ability to swivel turn and run with elite athletes at WR and will probably lead to a susceptibility on double moves. He does, however, show enough athleticism to recover when out of position and to keep himself in good positions once the ball is in the air.

25) San Diego Chargers - Jason Verrett, CB, TCU: Verrett falls this far on the fact that he is shorter than the rest of the 1st round corners. At 5-10 176 Verrett may have trouble against the bigger receivers in the league but his time at TCU shows time and again the agility and athleticism to make up for his height in man coverage and when tackling in zone. Verrett would be a welcome addition to most any secondary and would upgrade at worst the nickel corner role in year one for the Chargers.

26) Cleveland Browns (Via Indianapolis) - Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State: Roby is probably the most inconsistently frustrating player in the first round. Roby has the athleticism and talent to be a top 10-15 pick and shows those flashes when you watch him play but he will follow up those plays and stretches by making mistakes and overplays that don't show off his football IQ. The Wisconsin game is a microcosm of this issue as him and Abbredaris battled and Roby made great plays on the ball but missed a couple key assignments that led to big plays for Abbredaris. 

27) New Orleans Saints - Ryan Shazier, LB, Ohio State: Robys teammate at Ohio State Shazier was a consistent performer the last couple of seasons for the Buckeyes. Shazier played weak side linebacker in the 4-3 and always had his nose around the ball. Shazier would be an instant and consistent addition to a Saints defense that is quickly becoming more talented and well rounded.

28) Carolina Panthers - Morgan Moses, OT, Virginia: Moses is a player that has crept up the rankings that I compile to help me do these mocks and is working his way up in name recognition as well. Moses has the ability to become a top flight tackle but there is a reason he slips to the late first early second and the main thing I saw was questionable technique in his pass block, in which he stops his feet. When he regains his base, however, he is powerful and drives pass rushers and run defenders alike back. Consistency is the key but the Carolina needs someone to step in and protect Newton day one and that is the challenge for Moses.

29) New England Patriots - Louis Nix III, DT, Notre Dame: Louis Nix III had a rough season last year and most of it can be attributed to injuries and of course that's a worry. Nix's 2012 campaign, however, was stellar and in my eyes a more accurate representation of his talent than his 2013 season. Nix would be a natural successor to Vince Wilfork and brings the same type of size and athleticism that has made Wilfork such a productive pro.

30) San Francisco 49ers - Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida State: Benjamin is a big receiver, with speed but he's a bit raw. This would be the second time in the last few seasons that 49ers have taken a bit of a project at WR and we all remember how well A.J. Jenkins career has gone so far. Benjamin for his part burst onto the scene during Florida State's National Championship run, he needs to make his route running crisper and has had some issues with the drops but nothing that enough red flags to pass up on the talent.

31) Denver Broncos - Dee Ford, DE, Auburn: Dee Ford was the star of Senior Bowl week, and showed flashes while playing at Auburn. The biggest worry, however, wasn't the lack of production or technique issues but his extensive injury history. At 31 I think he well worth the risk for the Broncos but I don't see Ford sneaking up much higher than the mid-20s.

32) Seattle Seahawks - Cyrus Koundjio, OT, Alabama: Koundjio came into the season on the short list of top left tackle prospects in college football. That all went away after a disastrous week one of the season against Virginia Tech. Koundjio and the entire Bama line recovered though and he had a solid if not the spectacular season we were all looking forward too. This pick seems like a value for the Seahawks who don't have any glaring needs, although they should be looking for some replacements on the D-line and secondary, but could use some stiffening up of the front 5 to help protect and grow Russell Wilson.

One round down one to go in my final 2014 mock draft. At this point we haven't discussed the Redskins or Colts but we will get to them in the second round here. It is important to keep in mind that there will undoubtedly be trades both Thursday and Friday and also that I am just guessing on some of these, especially as we get further into round 2.

33) Houston Texans: - David Yankey, OG, Stanford: Houston went Clowney round 1 and now look to sure up the offensive line. QB was a thought here and if I was going to mock one to Houston I would lean Carr over Manziel because of Bill O'Brien's lean towards bigger pocket passers at the QB position.

34) Washington Redskins: - Joel Bitonio, OT, Nevada: With RGIIIs injury history and the addition of DeSean Jackson in the offseason I'm mocking Bitonio to sure up the right side of the line. DT, DE or CB are also possibilities at this spot.

35) Cleveland Browns: - Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M: With one of the top three QBs still here I think the Browns go with Manziel. I'm not big on second round QBs on the basis that if you thought the player was a game changer at the position why wouldn't you take with your first pick and not risk losing that player to another team. LB and both lines are also a possibility here.

36) Oakland Raiders: - Derek Carr, QB, Fresno State: The Raiders added what they hope is a franchise left tackle at 5 in Greg Robinson, which leads us to who he protects. With the addition of Matt Schaub, Carr would be able to work his way into the starting role at a more leisured pace while he worked on a few of his weaker points.

37) Atlanta Falcons: - Keith McGill, CB, Utah: Having gone pass rushing OLB Aaron Barr, it is time to look at the defensive backfield and the offensive line. Without a standout lineman on the board the Falcons look to strengthen an aging back four with McGill out of Utah. Offensive line is still the biggest need here but the board just hasn't fallen right for the Falcons.

38) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: - Kony Ealy, DE, Missouri: This may wind up being the steal of the draft. Ealy is considered a first round talent by many and I think for the most part it is warranted as one would assume from the last few picks of my previous mocks. There have been rumblings that Ealy may be moved inside once he reaches the NFL because of his ability to out physical opponents which would raise his value a bit but also increase the return on investment time.

39) Jacksonville Jaguars: - Cody Latimer, WR, Indiana: Jacksonville addressed it's need for an edge presence on defense with Mack in the first now it's time to address the lack of explosiveness on the edge on offense with the acquisition of Cody Latimer. With Blackmon out indefinitely and a dearth of talent on the offense Latimer would be a welcome addition. Also with no top tier or two QB on the board now is not the time to reach on a project.

40) Minnesota Vikings: - Ra'Shede Hageman, DT, Minnesota: Let's start this pick with what the difference on Hageman is this time from the previous mocks and to that I must admit a lack of information on my part that is a bit embarrassing. Hageman is 24 and although that doesn't change his ability it does shed a different light on what you may be able to mold out of such a raw talent. I say all that to say if Hageman can come in and rotate for a d-line that has gotten much younger the last couple of years he can still be a fine and productive choice for a team late first to mid-second.

41) Buffalo Bills: - Jace Amaro, TE, Texas Tech: Amaro came into the year as at worst the second rated tight end in most peoples opinion. As the year wore on Amaro started to slip in stature and is a good ways behind Ebron in most people’s eyes and much closer to Seferian-Jenkins and that lot. I still think his production and catch ability are high enough to make an instant impact as a receiver and although he may not be the in-line option you're looking for he does seem to hold his own well enough in space to make a blocking impact in sub-packages. This pick should be used only to increase the weapons around E.J. Manuel.

42) Tennessee Titans: - Demarcus Lawrence, DE/OLB, Boise State: Missing out on Barr and Mack in the first round the Titans still have a major hole to fill at the OLB spot in their 3-4 and Lawrence provides a player with some issues off the field but immense talent on the field and an explosive style that would be particularly well suited for the Titans. If the Titans were looking to stay away from character concerns at 42 then they could look at Jeremiah Attaochu and Trent Murphy instead of Lawrence but I believe they address this positional issue earlier in the draft instead of later.

43) New York Giants: - Allen Robinson, WR, Penn State: With the departure of Hakeem Nicks in the off-season and a group of underperforming wide outs outside of Victor Cruz I think the Giants look to fill that gap here in the second round where a WR run is sure to happen with the cluster of second tier options. Robinson gives them a nice contrast to the speedy and field stretching option of Cruz, Robinson is sure handed as they come and wins on body control and hands rather than freak explosive ability. Robinson would pair well in an offense that works deep to short like the Giants.

44) St. Louis Rams: - Weston Richburg, C, Colorado State: The Rams have a lot of holes on the offensive line that they must address if they are to give Bradford a reasonable last chance to develop the way we all thought he would. Richburg played for a Saban disciple at Colorado State and performed well in the couple of high profile games that Colorado State and as one of the two top tier Cs this would give the Rams two new additions to a poor offensive line and an upgrade.

45) Detroit Lions: - Jimmie Ward, S, Northern Illinois: Ward is one of the better thought of small school prospects in the draftnik community and after Pryor and Clinton-Dix is the next best option to work his way onto an opening day starting lineup. Ward doesn't have the explosive ability of a Pryor or Clinton-Dix but he plays smart safety and downhill to his great advantage and should be able to roam center field at the next level.

46) Pittsburgh Steelers: - Stephon Tuitt, DE, Notre Dame: This would be a match made in heaven and a great value pick in the second round for the Steelers, who would pick up one of the few highly rated pure 3-4 defensive end types. Tuitt has more questions about his game than former teammate Nix who went earlier in the round but Tuitt shows enough on tape the last couple of years to make you believe he will be at worst a contributor for whatever team takes him in this year’s draft.

47) Dallas Cowboys: - Kyle Van Noy, LB, BYU: With this pick Dallas would be bringing in one of my favorite defensive players of the last couple years from college football. When watching BYU games it was impossible to not come away impressed with Van Noy’s game and ability to make sure he was around the ball just about every play. Van Noy is one of those guys who on draft day they will describe as just a pure football player, not the greatest athlete but maximizes all he has to use.

48) Baltimore Ravens: - Jordan Matthews, WR, Vanderbilt: The Ravens have gathered themselves a great collection of TEs but the receiving corps still leaves something to be desired. In Matthews the Ravens pick up a receiver that should be able to provide a slot threat inside of Torrey Smith and create havoc over the middle of the field to take some pressure of those over the top routes that Baltimore has become so reliant on for success.

49) New York Jets: - Jeremiah Attaochu, OLB, Georgia Tech: Attaochu doesn't have the jump off the screen athleticism that Lawrence has but he doesn't come with the baggage either. Rex Ryan is always looking for good players to plug into his 3-4 and Attaochu fills a big need in the front seven of a defense that was still pretty darn good last season. Under Ryan's tutelage Jeremiah's game should grow and Ryan gets a tireless worker to keep this defense rolling.

50) Miami Dolphins: - Austin Steferian-Jenkins, TE, Washington: Seferian-Jenkins is a beast of a tight end and I mean that mostly because he is larger than most receiving threat tight ends to come out of college. At 6-6 260 he has the body to be an in-line player but needs a lot of refinement on his technique but he has some of the surest hands in the class and knows how to use his girth to shield defenders. I think he's still available here because of some off-field trouble that may scare some teams off.

51) Chicago Bears: - Deone Buchannon, SS, Washington State: The Bears aging defense needs help in a lot of places and after the addition of the beast of Aaron Donald to the front four it's time to look at the back four and to fortify some holes that may have made the difference between the playoffs and watching from home in January and February. In steps Deone Buchannon to supplement a secondary that most fans in the NFL would know maybe one player. Buchannon slots in at SS and should be a player written in to start if not from day one, then early on in his rookie campaign.

52) Arizona Cardinals: - Scott Chrichton, DE, Oregon State: Chrichton was a beast at Oregon State and gave many a Pac-12 team trouble. In a shallow 4-3 DE class he may not be here this late but I think a lack of diversification in skill sets makes Chricton drop a bit in the draft.

53) Green Bay Packers: - Davante Adams, WR, Fresno State: The Packers have lost James Jones, Greg Jennings and Donald Driver in the past couple of season and although Randall Cobb is a star in the making and Jarrett Boykin broke out last season a replenishment is still needed at the position especially with the emphasis on the passing game with Rodgers under Center. Adams is a physical specimen who broke out alongside Derek Carr in the Fresno State offense. With soft hands and a giant catch radius Adams doesn't necessarily need to start right away for Green Bay but another talented addition to the receiving corps should not be frowned upon for the Packers.

54) Philadelphia Eagles: - Trent Murphy, DE/OLB, Stanford: The Eagles need help on the defensive side of the ball and Trent Murphy would hopefully help and be more productive than Brandon Graham the first round pick at OLB from a few years back. Murphy played OLB in Stanford's multiple defense last season and his athleticism should serve him well standing up in the Eagles defense.

55) Cincinnati Bengals: - Carlos Hyde, RB, Ohio State: I know the Bengals took Giovani Bernard a couple of seasons ago but I think the addition of Hyde to the backfield would be an improvement over Bernard and the law firm. Hyde is my favorite back this season because he has enough agility to hit the hole on one cut and then run a linebacker over. Hyde became one of my favorite running backs to watch in the Big Ten and last seasons that is saying something.

56) San Francisco 49ers (From Kansas City): - Bashuad Breeland, CB, Clemson: I have San Francisco WR in the first round but I think they need to add some depth in the secondary and Breeland provides them with this opportunity in the second round. Breeland and the Clemson defense were a revelation last season and Breeland’s performance helped to prop up that performance.

57) San Diego Chargers: - Dom Easley, DT, Florida: Dom Easley is a first round talent, period. Two ACL injuries in the last two seasons have made his draft stock fall but this would be a steal and ridiculous value if I’m right on Easley falling to San Diego.

58) New Orleans Saints: - Marcus Martin, C, USC: The Saints need to add some young talent to the offensive line and with the second best center is still on the board. Martin for his part is a road grader in the run game and sufficient enough in his pass blocking form to bring at least competition to the table in the middle of the offensive line.

59) Indianapolis Colts: - Lemarcus Joyner, S, Florida State: Joyner played all over the place in FSU’s defense last season. As the leader of the defense he was a key cog in both the title game and title run for the Seminoles. Joyner should add athleticism and a playmaking ability that the Colts did not have in the secondary last year.

60) Carolina Panthers: - Donte Moncrief, WR, Ole Miss: The Panthers need weapons for Newton and protection and with Morgan Moses in the books already the panthers look to add a weapon. Moncrief had a very good year with Dr. Bo Wallace at the helm of the Rebels offense and he has big YAC potential but the one doubt in this pick is whether this year was an aberration or just the first year with quality QB play in Oxford.

61) San Francisco 49ers: - Will Sutton, DT, Arizona State: Aldon Smith is in trouble and may not be back with the team and Josh Smith is showing signs of aging and slowing down so the 9ers need to add depth to the line to keep the level of play in the front seven on an extremely high level. Sutton had a rough season this year after looking like a first round lock before the season started. Sutton added weight, whether that was work ethic or because Arizona State’s coaching staff wanted him to clog the middle more than be the explosive player I’m not sure but he has lost weight since the start of the offseason and if the explosiveness comes back in the pros he could be a beast and a steal at 61.

62) New England Patriots: - Chris Borland, LB, Wisconsin: Is there anything the Patriots like more than guys who go out and ball. Borland is ranked high by Kiper but I think he’s a much better value in the second. He could play inside on all three downs next to mayo and shift to weak side LB when they go to a four man front. Borland may not have the upside of a Kuechly but with his motor and nose for the ball he should have staying power and that’s a valuable thing as well.

63) Denver Broncos: - Gabe Jackson, OG, Mississippi State: The Broncos offensive line was beat up last year across the board even without the injury to Ryan Clady and some youth is needed even if it is just at the two deep early on. Jackson is a mauler and a beast in the run game and saw plenty of elite tackles in the SEC to know what he is going to have to do to shut down the pass rush inside in the pros.

64) Seattle Seahawks: - Jarvis Landry, WR, LSU: With the last pick of my mock we come to the Seahawks and I have them looking to replace a couple of departed WR with the second LSU receiver off the board. Landry is undersized and lacks the elite athleticism of Beckham Jr. But he just made plays for the years he played at LSU. Wide out is tricky transition but this pick would be a great match for Seattle and Landry.

If you’ve read this far thank you… you are far too kind and much more patient than I. I have fun doing these and they give me a chance to expand my knowledge of the players coming into the league through the amateur draft. The draft is four days away as I finish typing this up and I am filled with a nerdy and giddy excitement.
