2014 NFL Mock Draft: 7-22-13
It?s never too early. 2014 NFL mock draft time. Some team needs were taken into account this time. Sometimes they were not. I did my best. The 2014 NFL mock draft order is completely randomized, as it will change numerous times between now and February. Some of the 2014 NFL mock draft player descriptions will be rounded out and filled in later.
Guess who was omitted from this mock draft? Yes, we had to remove you know who from the top spot in the mock draft.
1. Jacksonville Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville
JAX can?t ?keep throwing good money after bad? as they say in corporate America. But if it was Gabbert throwing the money, it would almost always miss its mark.
2. Oakland, Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina
Did you SEE THE HIT on the Michigan Wolverines in the bowl game? Clowney came to SC as the #1 rated recruit in the nation. His college football career has not disappointed. He began his 2013 Heisman campaign, and case to be the 2014 NFL mock Draft #1 pick with that CRUSHING of the Michigan ball-carrier.
Go here for more on Clowney
3. Detroit Lions, Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M
It?s a safe bet to assume that we?ll see Detroit back in the top 5 of the 2014 NFL Mock Draft. They?re regular cellar dwellers and often have high picks on draft night. Matthews comes from the blue blood of NFL families. Bruce Matthews, Clay Matthews, Casey Matthews etc. Dave Matthews?.oh wait, not that last one.
4. Browns, David Fales, QB, San Jose State
I know you?re asking me- who??? But that?s what happens on draft night, quarterbacks are overrated and over-drafted every year. Also, we?re probably safe to say the Brownies will be back in the top ten of the 2014 NFL mock draft. And I?m not sold on the Browns 67-year-old quarterback. Yes, I?m kidding, I know Brandon Weeden?s real age.
5. New York Jets, Cyrus Kouandjio, OT, Alabama
Ah the frat house/train wreck/reality show of the NFL. There are some people who think the Jets could be contenders next year. Yes, and there also people who think Kate Upton is fat.
The Jets need to better protect Mark Sanchez, ex-boyfriend of Kate Upton, or whatever excuse for a QB they?ll offer us in the fall. That?s enough New York Jets talk for now, ESPN has already made you sick of them. And what?s a 2014 NFL mock draft without a few more Alabama players?
Go here for more on Kouandjio
6. Buffalo, Marqise Lee, WR, USC
There are to passing offense what Amanda Bynes is to self-control and discipline. And it?s a safe bet to assume that we?ll see Buffalo back in the top 10 of the 2014 NFL Mock Draft. This dude put up so-called ?video game numbers? playing Pac-12 college football last fall. His production might drop off this year with the QB situation in Troy, but NFL scouts will factor that in accordingly.
Go here for the USC Cheerleader swimsuit photo gallery
7. Arizona, Timmy Jernigan, DT, Florida State
Arizona hasn?t been very good at rushing the passer lately now have they? Speaking of Florida State, did you see what the Florida State cheerleaders, dance team an co-eds did to try and recruit #1 overall prospect Andrew Wiggins? Good stuff.
8. Philadelphia, Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, CB, Oregon
So much for the ?dream team.? Building a fantasy football team just doesn?t work in the real world. The Eagles need to blow things up, The genius offensive mind of Chip Kelly will take someone who can shut down the opponent?s pass.? this is someone Chip Kelly is obviously familiar with
Go here to hear Chip Kelly say ?it?s cool that I have a website named after myself?
To see the definitive collection of Oregon cheerleaders go here
9. St. Louis Rams Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan Wolverines
The Big Ten has been great at producing offensive linemen prospects for he NFL lately. The Wisconsin Badgers are a factory, but there?s also been a bunch in the few year coming out from the Illinois Fighting Illini, Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines.
Ever wonder what Big Ten school has produced the most 1st round picks these past five years? The answer will surprise you.
Given the ?fat boy draft? of 2013, maybe I should put Lewan #1 in my 2014 NFL mock draft. No seriously, this past draft was in fact exceedingly boring, but the next draft will be much more exciting.
Go here for more on Taylor Lewan
10. Tampa Bay, Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson
I don?t care what you say I?m still not sold on Josh Freeman. And ESPN officially jumped-the-shark, and SportsCenter became a permanent no-fly-zone for me when they had Josh Freeman do ?analysis? and ?recap? of highlights from his own game. No bias there. None whatsoever. Ugh. Walter Cronkite, ESPN is not.
Remember, who gets taken here, the Buccos are the favorite NFL team of Kate Upton; so the world?s most attractive woman will be watching you.
11. San Diego, Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M
Here we go, the first WOW! pick in the 2014 NFL mock draft. Manziel will be THE MOST scrutinized prospect in this draft. You can tell from his tweets about life in College Station, TX that he?s as good as gone after this season. Manziel doesn?t seem to be a very good liar. He doesn?t seem to be all that intelligent. And some of the excuses Johnny Manziel feeds us plainly insult our own intelligence. Either he?s just a horrible decision maker, or thinks he doesn?t have to be accountable. Or both.
No NFL team is going to invest tens of millions into a franchise quarterback who exhibits those characteristics. So he?s going to have to clean up his act a whole lot to even end up going this high. I predict he will. So why San Diego? Well, 1.) they drafted Manti Te?o so they have proven that they
have no problem inviting the media circus. 2.) Phillip Rivers isn?t exactly Mr. Congeniality, and they put up with him 3.) he?s getting on in years, this is as good a year as any to draft his replacement.
12. St. Louis, Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson
With Danny Amendola now gone. It?s likely the Rams will draft a WR either here or with the #16 pick. Pretty much every 2014 NFL mock draft will see the Rams taking a wideout early. The Rams also need to find a way to keep Sam Bradford upright.
13. Miami, David Yankey, OT, Stanford
With the departure of Jake Long, I think we know what position Miami is drafting for. In almost every 2014 NFL mock draft you?ll see the Dolphins going OL. The Dolphins are to blocking what Russell Crowe is to singing.
The Dolphins need better protection for Ryan Tannehill,? and hey, he?s got a hot wife, who broke the internet last NFL Draft, and happens to be doing some promotional work now.?
14. Kansas City, Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Washington
Sefarian-Jenkins is one of the top overall prospects in the 2014 NFL mock draft, and could help fill two Chiefs needs: blocking and pass-catching; they could use some help in both areas.
15. Tennessee, Aaron Murray, QB, Georgia
The Georgia offense will be led by QB Aaron Murray, who rates near the top of the 2014 NFL Draft class. What holds him back is his height; the same problem AJ McCarron and Johnny Manziel have..
Go here for more on Aaron Murray
16. Carolina, Anthony Barr, DE/OLB, UCLA
This guy seems to be high on almost everyone?s 2014 NFL mock draft boards.
17. Pittsburgh, C.J. Mosley, ILB, Alabama
It seems like the Steelers draft a linebacker early in the draft every year doesn?t it?
Go here for more on Mosley
And what?s a 2014 NFL mock draft without a few more Alabama players? Go here for the Alabama cheerleader photo gallery
18. New Orleans,? Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State
The Saints, statistically speaking, had the worst defense in NFL history last year. That?s not hyperbole. It?s true. Gotta go that side of the ball in round one.
Often times, ?bulletin board? material comes back to bite the behind of the person who says it. October 2011 was not one of those times as then Ohio State redshirt freshman Bradley Roby described Illini senior wideout A.J. Jenkins as ?not that special.?
Roby, a freshman who was an afterthought recruit (he?s from the same high school as former Buckeyes star DL Cameron Heyward, and lacked a ton of offers from major schools) talked smack about Jenkins, the nation?s leader in receiving yards and a Biletnikoff Award front-runner at the time. Bradley Roby backed it up though as she shut down Jenkins, and the Buckeyes handled the Illini. Jenkins went on to be a first draft pick by the 49ers. Roby will join him in the NFL, and possibly have another chance to talk trash to Jenkins.
Go here for more on Bradley Roby
19. Dallas, Kyle Fuller, Jonathan Brown, LB, Illini
Ever wonder what Big Ten school has produced the most 1st round picks these past five years? The answer will surprise you.
Yes, it?s the Illini, my alma mater. Every April sees a ?March? of Illini to the NFL. So is this a ?homer pick? in my mock draft?? Brown probably would have declared this year and been a round 2-3 prospect had he stayed healthy.
I predict he?ll heal and he?ll dominate the Big Ten in the fall. There are some character concerns though. He did get suspended for kneeing a Northwestern OL in the groin in the middle of a game. This isn?t enough to keep Jonathan Brown out of the first round. GO HERE to go inside the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders locker room.
Go here for more on Jonathan Brown
?20. New England Patriots, Jason Verrett, CB, TCU
You?ll see near the top in almost every 2014 NFL mock draft. And obviously, we know the Patriots have major issues in the secondary. Their pass defense is atrocious.
21. NY Giants, Aaron Lynch, DE, South Florida
Lynch left ND to be closer to his family and his girlfriend. The Cape Coral, FL native went home.
Lynch was a top rated, blue-chip recruit who committed to Notre Dame, de-committed in the wake of the Declan Sullivan tragedy, and then committed again to the Irish. He also dominated last year?s spring game..
Go here for more on Aaron Lynch
22. Chicago Bears, James Hurst, OT, North Carolina
Other Bears experts say the pick HAS to be an OT or LB. They?re both right. I?m not going to say that OL or MLB isn?t a pressing need.? I?m just use to picking OL here for the Bears out of habit; and every year it makes sense. By the way , if you don?t like Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler
, you will now after reading THIS STORY because it makes Jay Cutler a million times more likable.
23. Green Bay Packers, Louis Nix, NT, Notre Dame
The 2014 NFL mock draft is interesting for the Pack as you don?t know which way they?re going to go, it really should be defense. I could see the Pack going shopping for some ?Irish Chocolate? in the 2014 NFL mock draft.
And Nix is an awesome soundbite to boot.
Go here for more on Louis Nix
24. Cincinnati Bengals, Loucheiz Purifoy, CB, Florida
Loucheiz Purifoy reminds me of this Key & Peele sketch.
25. Vikings , AJ McCarron, QB, Alabama
Joe Webb is a joke of a back-up, and Christian Ponder is among the bottom tier of the NFL starting QBs. Sorry Samantha Steele, your husband is not good as his job. People question AJ McCarron because of his height. However, I disagree, he can find passing lanes just fine. He?s already proven he doesn?t need to be any taller to see over the line. Why don?t you ask Russell Wilson if he?s having any issues despite being 5?9?
Go here for more on McCarron. Oh, and we have excuses now to post pictures of Katherine Webb.
26. Indianapolis Colts, Chaz Green, OT, Florida
The Colts could use more added protection for their franchise QB Andrew Luck This is one name you?ll see rising in every 2014 NFL mock draft.
27. Atlanta, Venric Mark, RB, Northwestern
You?re like, who? What? Really? No seriously, look at his numbers, they?re insanely good. And he?s only going to get better this year. Mark is the next Dave Meggett or Warrick Dunn. He?ll be more than a low-center-of-gravity third down back. He?ll be a guy who can take a bulk of the carries, and no one questions his second-level speed burst potential.
For more on Venric Mark
28. Houston, Stephon Tuitt, DT, Notre Dame
You saw the way the Notre Dame D dominated last fall (well, up until the national title game when the Crimson Tide made the Irish defense their prison cell mate) and Tuitt was a big part of why the Irish defenders were so stellar during the regular season.
29. San Francisco,? Adrian Hubbard, DE/OLB, Alabama
And what?s a 2014 NFL mock draft without a few more Alabama players? Go here for the Alabama cheerleader photo gallery
30. Baltimore,? Kyle Van Noy, DE/OLB, BYU
It will be very interesting to see where Van Noy fits in at the next level; you?ll see him in almost every 2014 NFL mock draft. The question is scheme and how he fits, is he a true 3-4 prospect? What about in a 4-3 defense?
31. Seattle, Silas Redd RB, USC
My favorite part of Big Ten media day last summer was when I asked Penn State coach Bill O?Brien for further information about the likely transfer of Silas Redd from Penn State to USC. O?Brien was at the podium and just said ?no.?
That?s it. ?No.?
That?s all he said. This exchange was just awesomesauce. And it even got described in the Chicago Tribune.
Go here for more on Silas Redd
32. Denver, Logan Thomas QB, Virginia Tech
You need to figure out Peyton Manning?s heir apparent some time.
Our 2014 NFL mock draft is over. Hey thanks for coming!

Obama Military Sexual Assault Comments Were 'Unlawful Command Influence,' Judge Says
Navy Judge Cmdr. Marcus Fulton ruled that President Barack Obama's comments on military sexual assault could affect the sentencing in two cases, according to Stars and Stripes.
During pretrial hearings in the cases, Fulton said ?unlawful command influence? derived from Obama's remarks could influence a potential sentencing in the two cases, according to according to court documents obtained by Stars and Stripes. The judge's ruling could have an impact on other sexual assault cases in the military.
On May 7, Obama said he has ?no tolerance? for sexual assault in the military.
"I expect consequences,? Obama said. ?So I don?t just want more speeches or awareness programs or training, but ultimately folks look the other way. If we find out somebody?s engaging in this, they?ve got to be held accountable ? prosecuted, stripped of their positions, court martialed, fired, dishonorably discharged. Period.?
Stars and Stripes reports on the ruling:
The judge?s pretrial ruling means that if either defendant is found guilty, whether by a jury or a military judge, they cannot receive a bad conduct discharge or a dishonorable discharge. Sailors found guilty under the Uniform Code of Military Justice?s Article 120, which covers several sexual crimes including assault and rape, generally receive punitive discharges.?A member of the public would not hear the President?s statement to be a simple admonition to hold members accountable,? Fulton stated. ?A member of the public would draw the connection between the ?dishonorable discharge? required by the President and a punitive discharge approved by the convening authority.
?The strain on the system created by asking a convening authority to disregard [Obama?s] statement in this environment would be too much to sustain public confidence.?
Obama has made several comments chastising sexual assault in the military, at one point directing Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to "step up our game exponentially" to prevent further incidents. Obama has also expressed concern over how military sexual assaults "threaten the trust and discipline that makes our military strong."
"That's why we have to be determined to stop these crimes, because they've got no place in the greatest military on Earth," Obama said in a May address to U.S. Naval Academy graduates.
According to an annual report released by the Department of Defense in May, sexual assaults occurred at an average of more than 70 per day in the United States military during 2012.

Mickelson, Stricker chase history at US Open
ARDMORE, Pa. (AP) ? Phil Mickelson awoke on Father Day's in a place he's never been ? having the lead to himself after 54 holes at a U.S. Open.
It also happened to be his 43rd birthday.
And just in case he forgot, fans serenaded him with a chorus of "Happy Birthday" when Mickelson showed up at the practice range before his afternoon tee time.
The U.S. Open inched its way toward history Sunday on the take-your-time course at Merion Golf Club, where high rough and hard greens have made for slow rounds, and the threat of rain made a Monday finish a realistic scenario ? even without a playoff.
There was Mickelson, hoping to finally win the championship after finishing runner-up a record five times. There was Steve Stricker, trying to win his first major. Both are famously proud papas: Mickelson flew cross-country on the eve of the tournament after watching his daughter graduate from eighth grade, and Stricker has been playing less on the PGA Tour to spend more time with his family.
There was Hunter Mahan, who is not quite a dad. On a day when seemingly every golfer was talking about the special day on Twitter, Mahan chimed in with: "Happy Fathers Day to everyone! A couple months before I get to join the club!"
Also in the mix were Luke Donald and Justin Rose, each hoping to become the first Englishman to win the trophy since Tony Jacklin in 1970.
And don't forget Billy Horschel. He wouldn't let you if you tried. He tweeted a photo of himself wearing what he called his "highly anticipated" and "highly controversial" octopus-print golf pants.
Mickelson's score was 1-under after the third round, one ahead of Mahan, Stricker and Schwartzel and two ahead of Donald, Rose and Horschel. All were taking aim at the red wicker baskets that sit atop the pins at Merion, all trying to follow Olin Dutra, Ben Hogan, Lee Trevino and David Graham as U.S. Open champions who conquered the tough little course in the Philadelphia suburbs.
While the leaders were waiting to tee off, Tiger Woods went through the motions of extending his majors drought into a sixth year. It was an unfamiliar sight to see the world's No. 1 golfer teeing off on a Sunday more than three hours before the top pairing, but he was 10 strokes off the lead after a third-round 76 that matched his worst U.S. Open round as a pro.
Woods wore his usual Sunday red shirt, but it didn't keep him from quickly achieving a dubious double ? out of bounds and a 3-putt on the same hole. That made for a triple-bogey 8 at No. 2.
Sunday was five years to the day since Woods won the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. His running tally of majors wins is stuck on 14, four shy of Jack Nicklaus' record.
Hopes for a Grand Slam were also being officially dashed. Masters champion Adam Scott began the day 11 strokes behind Mickelson and made three bogeys on the front nine.
Meanwhile, Shawn Stefani found a unique way to solve Merion: Hit the ball in the rough and get a hole-in-one. His 4-iron at the 213-yard, par-3 17th landed left of the green, bounced down the slope and meandered its way some 50 feet slowly across the green and into the hole.
Stefani nearly jumped out of his skin. Then he kissed the spot where the ball landed.
"We're in Philly," he said. "There's some great fans up here, and I know they can be tough on you and they can love you forever. So I'm sure they appreciated me going to the ground and kissing it."
