  1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville
    Many might say that the Jaguars have the worst quarterback situation in the NFL. They would all be wrong. Jacksonville has a franchise signal-caller. His name is Teddy Bridgewater.

    Given how important the quarterback position is, Bridgewater will the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, barring injury or late-season collapse. There’s really no discussion. Jadeveon Clowney wouldn’t change the Jaguars’ franchise. Bridgewater would.

    By the way, I’m doing this live because I thought it’d be fun to get instant feedback. I’m going to post my mock anyway, so why not do it this way? Follow @walterfootball for updates.

    Pick change; previously Tajh Boyd, QB

  2. Oakland Raiders: Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina
    Terrelle Pryor amazingly looked pretty competent against the Colts. He’ll have major issues against top defenses, but Indianapolis was poorly coached and inexplicably not prepared for his scrambling ability. For now, I’ll say that the Raiders stick with Pryor. That makes this selection obvious.

    Some call Jadeveon Clowney the top defensive prospect to come along in years. Clowney has motivational problems, as Charlie Campbell reported before anyone else about a month ago. Still though, his presence along with Lamarr Houston would give Oakland an incredible pass-rushing duo.

    Pick change; previously Teddy Bridgewater, QB

  3. Cleveland Browns: Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson
    So much for the whole Brandon Weeden being good thing. Weeden was absolutely terrible in the season opener. The Browns desperately need a franchise quarterback if they want to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2002 season.

    Tajh Boyd is not just a runner; he completed 67.2 percent of his passes last year while maintaining a 9.1 YPA and a 36-to-13 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He was very impressive in the season opener versus Georgia.

    Pick change; previously Bradley Roby, CB

  4. New York Jets: Anthony Barr, DE/OLB, UCLA
    New York will go with the top player on their board, and that could easily be Anthony Barr. The Jets have a nice interior pass rush with Sheldon Richardson and Muhammad Wilkerson. Drafting Barr would give them a great bookend on the exterior with Quinton Coples. New York would suddenly go from being somewhat mediocre in terms of getting to the quarterback to being one of the best teams in the NFL in that regard.

    Anthony Barr should really help New York’s efforts to get to the quarterback. A former running back, Barr played defense for the first time this past season and made an instant impact, recording 13 sacks. The sky’s the limit for him, as he’ll only get better at his new position.

    Pick change; previously Jadeveon Clowney, DE



  5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M
    Left tackle may not seem like an obvious need to outside observers, but the Buccaneers are incredibly frustrated with Donald Penn. Josh Freeman’s current blind-side protector is once again dealing with weight issues. As a consequence, he struggles immensely in the preseason. Penn is due more than $6 million next year, so Tampa Bay could dump him in favor of a younger option.

    Pick change; previously Cyrus Kouandjio, OT

  6. San Diego Chargers: Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan
    It’s a shame for Philip Rivers that the Chargers couldn’t obtain a left tackle this offseason. Rivers has been in rapid decline partly because of poor protection – though he was solid Monday night – so San Diego better hope that he’s not completely ruined by the 2014 NFL Draft. Fortunately for the Chargers, there are quite a few blue-chip left tackles available.

    Taylor Lewan probably would’ve been a top-three pick (perhaps even No. 1 overall) in the 2013 NFL Draft, so San Diego has to consider itself lucky to get someone as talented as him at No. 6 overall.

    Pick change; previously Jake Matthews, OT

  7. Buffalo Bills: Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Washington
    It’s not usual to see a tight end go this high, but Austin Seferian-Jenkins is an absolute stud. He’ll be a matchup nightmare, much like Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham. E.J. Manuel would love having a talent weapon like Seferian-Jenkins at his disposal.

    It’s worth noting that Seferian-Jenkins was arrested for a DUI on March 9, but that was just one incident. I don’t think it’ll have too much of an impact on his draft stock if he appears remorseful.

    Pick change; previously Anthony Barr, DE/OLB

  8. Minnesota Vikings: Louis Nix, DT, Notre Dame
    Stephon Tuitt gets plenty of hype at Notre Dame, but Louis Nix is the top defensive lineman on the squad. He was dominant against Michigan and should be a top-12 pick.

    The Vikings drafted Sharrif Floyd, but they’ll need another defensive tackle with Kevin Williams being an impending free agent.

    Pick change; previously Scott Crichton, DE



  9. Pittsburgh Steelers: Marqise Lee, WR, USC
    The Steelers desperately need offensive line help, but how can they resist with someone as talented as Marqise Lee still on the board? Besides, it’s not like receiver isn’t a huge need. With Mike Wallace gone, Ben Roethlisberger doesn’t have a legitimate deep threat at his disposal. He tried airing it out to Emmanuel Sanders in the opener, but that predictably didn’t work.

    Pick change; previously James Hurst, OT

  10. Tennessee Titans: Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State
    Alterraun Verner is entering his contract year, so Tennessee will need a new starter if it can’t retain him. Besides, the Titans need to fix their pass defense.

    Bradley Roby considered declaring for the 2013 NFL Draft. If he had, he may have been a top-six selection, which should tell you how much better this class is compared to last year’s (I had him going 14th in a previous update). Roby had a ridiculous 17 pass break-ups as a redshirt sophomore. He has gotten into legal trouble recently, but perhaps the Titans will forgive his only him, given that he has been given a second chance by Ohio State.

    Pick change; previously Taylor Lewan, OT

  11. Arizona Cardinals: Khalil Mack, DE/OLB, Buffalo
    Khalil Mack made the biggest jump in last week’s mock draft. Mack completely dominated the Ohio State offensive line. The Buckeyes simply couldn’t do anything about him. Mack is now in the conversation to be a top-15 pick. He’d fill a need across from Sam Acho in Arizona.

  12. Indianapolis Colts: Marcus Roberson, CB, Florida
    The Colts did nothing in the 2013 NFL Draft to address the cornerback position. They’ll have to endure Greg Toler’s struggles at the No. 2 corner position in 2013. They can’t allow quarterbacks like Terrelle Pryor to nearly beat them.



  13. Carolina Panthers: Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson
    How much longer are the Panthers going to rely on Brandon LaFell as a starting receiver? They need more explosion on offense; not to mention a No. 1 receiver after Steve Smith retires.

    Pick change; previously Aaron Colvin, CB

  14. Kansas City Chiefs: James Hurst, OT, North Carolina
    The Chiefs just spent the No. 1 overall pick on Eric Fisher, but they’ll need a bookend for him once Branden Albert moves on. If you don’t think Kansas City would draft two consecutive offensive tackles with its first-round picks, well, remember who’s making the decisions now.

    Pick change; previously Sammy Watkins, WR

  15. Philadelphia Eagles: Aaron Colvin, CB, Oklahoma
    Cary Williams had a great debut for the Eagles on Monday night. The same can’t be said about Bradley Fletcher, who will undoubtedly suffer some sort of injury in the near future.

    Aaron Colvin, who had 11 pass break-ups in 2012, is a tall cornerback – something that is very much in vogue now based on what Seattle has done.

    Pick change; previously Marqise Lee, WR

  16. Detroit Lions: Antonio Richardson, OT, Tennessee
    It’s no secret that the Lions have major issues at offensive tackle. Riley Reiff did a decent job in the opener, but the team had trouble blocking on the right side. Detroit’s setup will fail this season, which could force Martin Mayhew’s hand.

    Pick change; previously Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE
