FoolishFantasyFootballPickems: 2014

Let's continue this bad boy. If you compare my mock draft to others you might see how different mine is. Good. When the draft happens and were both wrong it wont matter. A lot of positions of value are not matching up for the teams on the board this year. Which means a lot of teams might trade their pick. Or take Best Player Available. It is REALLY difficult to predict a pick being traded since it's so secretive. Even front offices can't always agree. So, it's a crap shoot.

11. Tennessee Titans. Anthony Barr. OLB.

12. New York Giants. Eric Ebron. TE.

13. St. Louis Rams. Clinton Dix. S.

14. Chicago Bears. CJ Mosely. ILB.

15. Pittsburgh Steelers. Mike Evans. WR.

16. Dallas Cowboys. Aaron Donald. DT.

17. Baltimore Ravens. Bradly Roby. CB.

18. New York Jets. Darqueze Dennard. CB.

19. Miami Dolphins. Zach Martin. OT/OG.

20. Arizona Cardinals. Ryan Shazier. OLB.

-----------------------------------------

So, the draft was suppose to be last weekend. (last weekend of April) Instead it will be two weeks later. I get it. We're all sick of the draft talk. I don't understand why the NFL moved it, but it has given me more time to think about what might happen. But, does it feel, to you, like we are the LEAST sure about this year than priors? We say it every year but I just feel like I'm stuck between the hype and the logic.
-

1. Houston Texans. Their number one need is QB and OL. NOT DE. I just can't see them taking Clowney here and winning games especially considering they gave up Schaub for a 6th round pick? I don't see them going with Robinson or Matthews here either since both scenarios end up with the Texans using Fitz or Keenum next year. Yuck. So, is Clowney worth taking at the #1 pick? Sure. Who trades up to get him? I wish I knew. I believe SOMEONE is going to trade up for Clowney here.
-

2. St. Louis Rams. The Rams have two first round picks. They have some luxury. I think the Rams will stay put and take the guy they need. Who is that? If the Rams stick with Bradford and their defense which is shockingly a strength now I think they will run with taking OT which is a weakness after the Saffold debacle. Robinson or Matthews. They can then take whoever else they want at 13 or even move around.
-

3. Jacksonville Jaguars. I wish I had a crystal ball so I could tell you everything, but I don't. So you just have my speculation. Jaguars need a QB as well. Top 10 draft picks USUALLY will have this problem in common. However, and I can't believe that I am saying this, but I think they feel comfortable with Henne. Yes you may call me crazy. I think they go defense here with Kahlil Mack whose stock has risen tremendously lately and if not I think they trade back for the QB they want so someone else can get WR Watkins here at 3.
-

4. Cleveland Browns. The Browns also have two first rounders this year. I think that the Browns would be foolish to trade up for a QB. I don't see a top 3 QB in the draft and the only reason one will go is out of desperation. QB league and all. They got rid of Weeden. They need a QB. They take a QB here. I hear that they are enamored with Manziel, but smoke and mirrors who knows Bortles could go here, too.
-

5. Oakland Raiders. Call me crazy pick #2. I think Raiders traded for Schaub to use him for at least a year. Ala Carson Palmer to the Cardinals. I think with Watkins on the board here they gobble him up so fast your head will spin.
-

6. Atlanta Falcons. If the Falcons aren't one of the two teams supposedly willing to sell the farm for Clowney I think they get the runner up OT here with Jake Matthews.
-

7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They did just trade away Mike Williams. They did just bring in Josh McCown. As far as my mock draft has fallen into place you have a few options here. They have DT they don't need Donald. They have Lber they dont need Barr. They have QB if you want to see McCown as a positive. I don't see a CB or a Safety high enough to take. They could og OT here with Lewan but he had some character flags. They signed Myers but they need a receiver and you have Evans on board here or they could shock the NFL and take Ebron here. My pick? Lewan. OT isnt as deep as WR is deep this year. And TE isnt worth a top 10 imo even though is he being compared to Graham. I doubt Lewan falls farther than 12 where the Giants need oline help.
-

8. Minnesota Vikings. Only one QB went top 7? The vikings have Jennings and Patterson with Peterson clogging the box? OK they NEED a QB here and if Bortles or Manziel FELL here and they didn't need to trade up for him? Oh yea. I hate the Vikings but they would be nuts to not take one here.
-

9. Buffalo Bills. The Bills lost Byrd to free agency. For what picks are available here and I am just going for crazy picks I think they take Pryor or Clinton-Dix. Jim Schwartz takes over this defense and like they did with the Lions I think they take a hard hitting safety for that defense. They got the QB. Dont need RB. They drafted WR last year. They could use oline but I dont see a lineman worth taking here. They got dline and lbers. Ill take Pryor.
-

10. Detroit Lions. The one team I know a lot about. They need WR and they need CB/S with a wildcard position of Lber. It will be one of those guys. I see them taking Gilbefrt. They can finally take the top Corner. Sure they need defense and I wouldnt be surprised if they take Barr here or Evans but my money is on the fact that they brought in a secondary coach to take over the defense from Baltimore. Surprise pick? Clinton-Dix.
-

I will fill in the next 10 at a later date. Got a week til the draft.
