Walt12 mins
Last update: Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2014. Major changes in all 4 rounds.
Next update: Next week. Follow me @walterfootball for updates.

The order of this 2014 NFL Mock Draft is based on my NFL Power Rankings.


    *** This 2014 NFL Mock Draft (4 rounds) was updated Jan. 29. This mock draft will be updated at least once per week (Tuesday afternoons and other times for important events.). Check out old versions of this 2014 NFL Mock Draft in the archived mock draft section. Follow @walterfootball for updates. ***

  1. Houston Texans: E.J. Gaines, CB, Missouri
    Brice McCain was a huge disappointment in 2013, so the Texans will want to add a cornerback at some point during the middle rounds.

    Follow @walterfootball for updates.

  2. Washington Redskins: Jared Abbrederis, WR, Wisconsin
    The Redskins must improve their defense, but they also have to focus on upgrading the receiver position. A No. 2 wideout is needed.

  3. Atlanta Falcons: Daniel McCullers, NT, Tennessee
    The Falcons have three defensive tackles with expiring contracts, including Corey Peters, a run-stuffer who tore his Achilles in December. A replacement is needed.

  4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Kelcy Quarles, DT, South Carolina
    Akeem Spence had a disappointing rookie campaign playing next to Gerald McCoy, capped off by an arrest for marijuana possession. The Buccaneers may want to bring in another interior defensive lineman.



  5. Jacksonville Jaguars: Keith McGill, CB, Utah
    The Jaguars definitely need some help at corner to help combat Andrew Luck.

    Pick change; previously Stanley Jean-Baptiste, CB

  6. Cleveland Browns: Jimmie Ward, S, Northern Illinois
    Here’s some secondary help for the Browns, who could use someone to challenge Tashaun Gipson at safety.

    Pick change; previously Khairi Fortt, ILB

  7. Oakland Raiders: Joel Bitonio, G/OT, Nevada
    The Raiders need multiple upgrades on their offensive line. Lucas Nix might be the worst starting guard in the NFL, so he needs to be replaced.

    Pick change; previously Anthony Steen, G

  8. Minnesota Vikings: Calvin Barnett, DT, Oklahoma State
    The Vikings used one of three first-rounders on a defensive tackle last year, but they may have to double dip at the position with Kevin Williams hitting free agency.

  9. Buffalo Bills: Trevor Reilly, DE/OLB, Utah
    Jerry Hughes’ great 2013 campaign came out of nowhere. The Bills should probably obtain some insurance just in case it was a fluke. They could use depth at linebacker anyway.

    Pick change; previously Morgan Breslin, DE/OLB

  10. St. Louis Rams: Billy Turner, OT, North Dakota State
    The Rams probably won’t go offensive tackle early, but they’ll have to at some point considering the uncertainty surrounding Jake Long.

  11. Detroit Lions: Demarcus Lawrence, DE/OLB, Boise State
    Willie Young is a free agent. If he’s not retained, Detroit will have to find someone to compete with Devin Taylor as the starter across from Ziggy Ansah. The loser of that battle will provide depth.

  12. Tennessee Titans: A.J. McCarron, QB, Alabama
    The Titans will likely give Jake Locker one more chance to prove himself, but they’ll probably want to spend a mid-round pick on a developmental quarterback.

    Pick change; previously Adrian Hubbard, DE/OLB



  13. New York Giants: Richard Rodgers, TE, California
    The Giants signed Brandon Myers to serve as a dependable intermediate target for Eli Manning, but he failed. Perhaps they’ll draft someone instead.

    Pick change; previously Chris Smith, DE

  14. Jacksonville Jaguars: Brent Urban, DE/DT Virginia
    Surprise, surprise, Tyson Alualu struggled at left end in Jacksonville’s new scheme. An upgrade here is needed for the league’s worst pass rush.

  15. New York Jets: JuWuan James, OT, Tennessee
    Austin Howard has played better of late, but he’s a free agent. If he’s not retained, New York will need a new right tackle.

    Pick change; previously Keith McGill, CB

  16. Miami Dolphins: Xavier Grimble, TE, USC
    Ryan Tannehill would benefit from having a better intermediate option to throw to. Michael Egnew was used far too often at the end of this past season.

  17. Chicago Bears: De’Anthony Thomas, RB, Oregon
    Matt Forte had 363 touches last year. The Bears may want to bring in another running back who can do similar things in the passing game just to give Forte a break.

  18. Pittsburgh Steelers: Deandre Coleman, DT, California
    The Steelers need some help up front. Cameron Heyward finally improved this year, but Ziggy Hood continued to struggle.

  19. Dallas Cowboys: Aaron Lynch, DE, South Florida
    Here’s another upgrade for the defensive line. With Anthony Spencer hitting free agency, Dallas will need a new pass-rusher across from DeMarcus Ware.

  20. Arizona Cardinals: Jeremy Hill, RB, LSU
    Rashard Mendenhall is a free agent, but that’s for the best because he stinks. The Cardinals have to find someone to split carries with Andre Ellington.



  21. Green Bay Packers: Khairi Fortt, ILB, California
    The Packers released Desmond Bishop during the previous offseason. On top of that, the rapidly aging A.J. Hawk will have an expiring contract soon. Ted Thompson will have to address the inside linebacker position in the near future.

    Pick change; previously Chris Borland, ILB

  22. Philadelphia Eagles: Ed Reynolds, S, Stanford
    The Eagles will need to address the safety position twice if Nate Allen isn’t re-signed. That’s how terrible the back end of their defense was.

  23. Cincinnati Bengals: Will Sutton, DT, Arizona State
    The Bengals need insurance at defensive end. Geno Atkins is coming off a torn ACL, while Domata Peko is entering his contract year.

    Pick change; previously Seantrel Henderson, OT

  24. Kansas City Chiefs: Morgan Breslin, DE/OLB, USC
    The Chiefs found out the hard way this past season that they have very little behind Tamba Hali and Justin Houston.

    Pick change; previously JuWuan James, OT



  25. San Diego Chargers: Cameron Fleming, OT, Stanford
    Jeromey Clary had to play tackle when King Dunlap got hurt. This cannot be allowed to happen again.

  26. New Orleans Saints: Seantrel Henderson, OT, Miami
    Terron Armstead looked great at left tackle to close out the season, but he’s an unknown. Zach Strief is a free agent. The Saints may want to use a Round 3-5 selection on a tackle.

    Pick change; previously James Hurst, OT

  27. Cleveland Browns: Tyler Larsen, C, Utah State
    Alex Mack said he’s going to test free agency. He’s unlikely to be franchised, so it’s possible Cleveland could be in the market for a new center.

    Pick change; previously Ahmad Dixon, S

  28. Carolina Panthers: Kapri Bibbs, RB, Colorado State
    Cam Newton has made huge improvements this year, but he could still really benefit from a potent, pass-catching weapon coming out of the backfield.

  29. San Francisco 49ers: Adrian Hubbard, DE/OLB, Alabama
    This is a value pick for the 49ers, who may want to add another outside linebacker just in case Aldon Smith gets into more trouble.

    Pick change; previously A.J. McCarron, QB

  30. New England Patriots: Bene Benwikere, CB, San Jose State
    The Patriots will need depth at cornerback behind Alfonzo Dennard and Logan Ryan if free agent Aqib Talib walks.

  31. Denver Broncos: Jaylen Watkins, CB, Florida
    You have to wonder what the Broncos plan on doing at cornerback in 2014 and beyond. Champ Bailey and Quentin Jammer will be 36 and 35, respectively, in June. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, meanwhile, will be a free agent in March.

    Pick change; previously Ben Gardner, DE

  32. Seattle Seahawks: Brandon Thomas, G, Clemson
    The Seahawks have multiple areas of concern on their offensive line, including both guard spots. Imagine how potent Russell Wilson would be with upgraded protection.

    Pick change; previously Will Sutton, DT
