2014 NFL Mock Draft: Round 1 – Picks 17-32

Walt11 mins
Last update: Wednesday, Jan. 22, 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. 22. 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. Baltimore Ravens: C.J. Mosley, ILB, Alabama
    The Ravens had their eye on Dont’a Hightower as a possible replacement for Ray Lewis a couple of years ago. Perhaps they’ll finally land an inside linebacker from Alabama. Baltimore took Arthur Brown in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft, but this position could still be addressed because Daryl Smith happens to be a free agent.

    Follow @walterfootball for updates.

  2. New York Jets: Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina
    The Jets need to add more play-makers to the roster because Geno Smith is surrounding by the worst supporting cast in the NFL. The top weapon who can be added to the roster is Eric Ebron, a stud tight end out of North Carolina. Kellen Winslow proved to be an insufficient replacement for Dustin Keller, so this is a position New York will look to upgrade this offseason.

  3. Miami Dolphins: Darqueze Dennard, CB, Michigan State
    This pick would’ve been Cameron Erving in a previous version, but he went back to school (he’s now No. 13 in my 2015 NFL Mock Draft). With Erving gone and Taylor Lewan now off the board, there’s no offensive tackle available who fits the range and Miami’s blocking scheme.

    The Dolphins could always take a corner. Brent Grimes was awesome this past year, but he’s now the top free agent cornerback. He’ll move on elsewhere if he’s not franchised.

    Pick change; previously Taylor Lewan, OT

  4. Arizona Cardinals: Cyrus Kouandjio, OT, Alabama
    It’s no secret the Cardinals need to bolster their offensive line. Bruce Arians has done a great job of masking this weakness, but Arizona’s offense would be so much more explosive with better play up front. Jonathan Cooper will be back next year, and that will help, but the Cardinals need to upgrade Bradley Sowell at left tackle. Cyrus Kouandjio has disappointed this year, but he’s still worthy of this selection.



  5. Green Bay Packers: Ra’Shede Hageman, DE/DT, Minnesota
    The Packers spent last year’s first-round pick on a defensive lineman, but that doesn’t mean that Ted Thompson won’t double dip there. B.J. Raji happens to be a free agent, and his price tag is simply too high for Green Bay.

  6. Philadelphia Eagles: Kony Ealy, DE/OLB, Missouri
    The Eagles would love to address their secondary with this pick, but Kony Ealy is way too good to pass up. Ealy is the best player available, and he would fill a need anyway. The only linebacker who consistently put pressure on the quarterback was Trent Cole, and he won’t last beyond next year because he’s due $10 million in 2015. Another pass-rusher is currently needed anyway.

  7. Kansas City Chiefs: Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida State
    The Chiefs need another outside receiver to start across from Dwayne Bowe. I recently mocked Jace Amaro here, but I’ve been told that Kelvin Benjamin is way more likely to be chosen here. Either player makes a ton of sense.

    Pick change; previously Jace Amaro, TE

  8. Cincinnati Bengals: Stephon Tuitt, DE/DT, Notre Dame
    Stephon Tuitt makes a lot of sense for the Bengals. As Mike Mayock told us, Tuitt will likely play defensive tackle in the NFL. The Bengals need insurance there, as Geno Atkins is coming off a torn ACL and Domata Peko is entering his contract year. But if Cincinnati wants to use Tuitt at end, it’ll need a replacement for impending free agent Michael Johnson.

    Pick change; previously Justin Gilbert, CB



  9. San Diego Chargers: Zack Martin, G/OT, Notre Dame
    The Chargers have some issues on the interior of their offensive line. Both Chad Rinehart and Rich Ohrnberger are impending free agents, while Jeromey Clary continues to struggle at his new position.

    Pick change; previously Vic Beasley, DE/OLB

  10. Cleveland Browns: David Yankey, G/OT, Stanford
    Teams that spend early picks on quarterbacks usually take an offensive player to complement that signal-caller with their next selection. Think Matthew Stafford-Brandon Pettigrew, Sam Bradford-Rodger Saffold, Andrew Luck-Coby Fleener, etc. As noted in my Browns team needs page, Shawn Lauvao is a free agent, but he needed to be upgraded anyway. Both he and Oniel Cousins stunk it up at this position.

    Pick change; previously Kelvin Benjamin, WR

  11. New Orleans Saints: Scott Crichton, DE/OLB, Oregon State
    The Saints had several holes to fill in the 2013 NFL Draft, so they weren’t able to obtain a pass-rusher until the sixth round with Rufus Johnson. They’ll probably need to do so earlier in May. Excluding Cameron Jordan, they couldn’t get to Russell Wilson at all in their playoff loss. Junior Galette has been awesome, but New Orleans needs a potent pass-rusher across from him.

  12. Carolina Panthers: Allen Robinson, WR, Penn State
    Steve Smith is slowing down, while Brandon LaFell hasn’t proven that he can be a consistent starter. Oh, and Ted Ginn, who hates me, happens to be a free agent. The Panthers need to bolster their receiving corps.



  13. New England Patriots: Jace Amaro, TE, Texas Tech
    With Aaron Hernandez gone forever and Rob Gronkowski coming off a serious knee injury, the Patriots may want to bring in another talented tight end. Jace Amaro could be the first tight end off the board, so he’s a steal at his juncture.

    Pick change; previously Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE

  14. San Francisco 49ers: Marcus Roberson, CB, Florida
    The 49ers need to fix their secondary. Their group of cornerbacks isn’t very strong, as Carlos Rogers has understandably declined at 32. He’s due $6.25 million next year, so San Francisco could cut ties with him. The 49ers extended Tramaine Brock, but they’ll still need corner help.

  15. Denver Broncos: Ryan Shazier, LB, Ohio State
    Wesley Woodyard has looked out of place trying to play middle linebacker. Paris Lenon is a disaster. This is an area Denver may want to upgrade to help improve its currently putrid run defense.

  16. Seattle Seahawks: Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Washington
    The Seahawks need to focus on getting Russell Wilson some help. Most think that upgrading the receiver position will help, but Seattle could use a better tight end than Zack Miller, especially if a talented upgrade like Austin Seferian-Jenkins is available.
